M’chochitika chatsiku limodzi, tinalinganiza kubzala mitengo ndi mitengo 600, antchito odzifunira 500, ndi mtunda wa makilomita 300 wa ulimi wothirira.

Komanso, tinakonza zodzala mumsewu m’tauni yaing’ono ya Middletown ndi thandizo la kubzala mitengo ku California ReLeaf. M'mawa wa chochitika tawuni yonse idawonekera kudzathandiza kubzala.

Ngati ine ndikanakhala ndi mwayi woyendetsa galimoto kudutsa ku Middletown ndi kukawona mitengo yokulirapo iyo, ine ndikukumbukira mmawa wodabwitsa uja.
Chifukwa chiyani kuli kofunikira kuti California ReLeaf ipitilize Ntchito yake?
Ndikuganiza za nkhani ya Peter Glick yokhudza kutentha kwa dziko. Ngakhale nthawi imeneyo, iye analosera zimene zidzachitike padzikoli. Zonse zikuchitikadi. Ndikofunikira chifukwa kudzera mu gulu ngati California ReLeaf, anthu amakumbutsidwa za mtengo wamitengo ndi momwe amakonzera dziko lapansi. Zoonadi pali nthawi zomwe ndalama za boma zimakhala zolimba koma tiyenera kukumbukira kuti mitengo ndi gwero la nthawi yaitali. ReLeaf amakumbutsa anthu onse, kudzera m'magulu ake apaintaneti komanso kupezeka kwake ku Sacramento, za phindu lamitengo lomwe latsimikiziridwa ndi sayansi kwanthawi yayitali. Amatha kufikira anthu akunja kwa nkhalango za m’tauni. Ndizodabwitsa, mukamafunsa anthu zomwe zili zofunika kwa iwo m'dera lawo amatchula mapaki, malo obiriwira, madzi oyera, koma nthawi zonse ndizo zinthu zoyamba zomwe zimadulidwa kuchokera ku bajeti.
Ndikukhulupirira kuti ReLeaf imatithandiza kupeza mayankho omwe amapanga kusintha kwabwino m'chigawo cha California - kusintha komwe kungachitike pokhapokha gulu loganiza bwino la anthu likugwira ntchito limodzi ndikulimbikira ndikutha kumveka.
