Sabata yatha, American Forests adalengeza mizinda 10 yabwino kwambiri yaku US ya nkhalango zamtawuni. California inali ndi mzinda umodzi pamndandandawo - Sacramento. M'chigawo chomwe anthu opitilira 94% amakhala m'matauni, kapena pafupifupi 35 miliyoni aku California, ndizowopsa kuti mizinda yathu yambiri sinalembepo komanso kuti nkhalango zam'tawuni sizofunikira kwambiri kwa akuluakulu athu osankhidwa. ndi opanga ndondomeko. Tikukhala m'dziko lomwe limapanga mindandanda 10 yapamwamba kwambiri, kuphatikiza 6 mwa mizinda 10 yapamwamba kwambiri yaku US yomwe ili ndi vuto loipitsitsa la mpweya. Nkhalango zathu zamatawuni, zobiriwira zamizinda yathu, ziyenera kukhala zofunika kwambiri m'mizinda m'boma lonse.
Anthu ambiri satsutsana ndi mitengo, ndi osayanjanitsika. Koma sayenera kukhala. Kuphunzira pambuyo pa kafukufuku kumagwirizanitsa zobiriwira za m'matauni ndi thanzi labwino la anthu: 40 peresenti ndi anthu ochepa omwe ali onenepa kwambiri kapena onenepa kwambiri, okhalamo amakhala ndi mwayi wochita masewera olimbitsa thupi katatu, ana amachepetsa zizindikiro za vuto la kuchepa kwa chidwi, kuthamanga kwa magazi ndi mphumu, ndipo kupsinjika maganizo kumakhala kochepa.
Ngati phindu losaoneka la mitengo m'malo athu silili umboni wokwanira, nanga bwanji za madola ndi masenti? Kafukufuku wokhudza mitengo ku Central Valley anasonyeza kuti mtengo umodzi waukulu udzapereka ndalama zoposa $ 2,700 mu chilengedwe ndi ubwino wina pa moyo wake wonse. Ndiko kubweza 333% pazachuma. Pamitengo ikuluikulu 100 ya anthu, madera amatha kusunga ndalama zoposa $190,000 m'zaka 40. Chaka chatha, California ReLeaf inapereka ndalama zothandizira ntchito zoposa 50 ndi anthu ogwira nawo ntchito m'deralo zomwe zidzapangitse mitengo yoposa 20,000 kubzalidwa, ndi kupanga kapena kusunga ntchito zoposa 300 ndi maphunziro a ntchito kwa achinyamata ambiri. Makampani opanga nkhalango akumatauni adawonjezera $3.6 biliyoni pachuma cha California chaka chatha.
Ndiye izi ndi izi, zovuta zathu kwa inu Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Fresno, Long Beach, Oakland, Bakersfield, ndi Anaheim: monga umodzi mwamizinda 10 yomwe ili ndi anthu ambiri ku California, yesetsani kulowa nawo Sacramento pa 10. mndandanda wabwino kwambiri womwe ungasinthe mizinda yanu zachuma, thanzi, chitetezo, mpweya ndi madzi. Bzalani mitengo, samalirani zomwe zilipo kale, ndikuyika ndalama m'mizinda yanu zobiriwira. Lowani nafe popereka ndalama zantchito zakomweko, pangani nkhalango zakutawuni kukhala gawo la malamulo a mizinda yanu, ndikuyamikira mitengo ndi malo obiriwira monga zimathandizira kwambiri pakuyeretsa mpweya, kusungitsa mphamvu, madzi abwino komanso thanzi ndi moyo wa nzika zakudera lanu.
Awa ndi mayankho omwe amatsogolera ku California yabwinoko komanso madera obiriwira.
