Nthawi zina ndimadabwa momwe nkhalango zakumidzi zingapangire ndikusunga kukhalapo kolimba komanso kolimba m'maboma akuluakulu monga kukonza mpweya ndi madzi aku California. Izi ndi zoona makamaka pamene mitu ina imapezeka ku Nyumba Yamalamulo ya Boma monga kukhazikitsa kwa AB 32 ndi bondi ya madzi ya 2014.
Mwachitsanzo, taganizirani zakumapeto. Mabilu awiri omwe adasinthidwa mu Ogasiti akufuna kulongosolanso momwe bondi yotsatira yamadzi idzawonekere. Okhudzidwa ambiri amavomereza kuti ngati ipeza 51% kapena kuposerapo kwa mavoti otchuka, sizidzawoneka ngati zomwe zili pa chisankho cha 2014. Idzakhala yaying'ono kukula kwake. Sizigawanitsa gulu la chilengedwe. Sizikhala ndi zolembera, zoyambira zama bond zam'mbuyomu zomwe zimagawa madola mabiliyoni angapo pamapulogalamu osiyanasiyana a 30. Ndipo idzakhala “chomangira chamadzi” chenicheni.
Funso lodziwikiratu kwa ife ndilakuti “Kodi nkhalango za m’tauni zimalowa kuti, kapena zingatheke?”
Monga California ReLeaf ndi anzathu angapo m'boma lonse adaganizira za funsoli m'masabata awiri apitawa a gawo lamalamulo, tidatenga njira "yozungulira m'mphepete" - kuyesera kupanga chilankhulo chomwe chilipo chomwe sichikugwirizana ndi kubiriwira komanso nkhalango zakumidzi. amphamvu momwe ndingathere. Tinapita patsogolo, ndipo tinadikirira kuti tiwone ngati padzakhala kubwereza kwa nkhani ya 2009 pamene mavoti adapeza pakati pa usiku pamene mtengo wamtengo wapatali unakwera mabiliyoni.
Osati nthawi ino. Nyumba yamalamulo m'malo mwake idasunthira kupitiliza ntchito yotseguka komanso yowonekera, ndi cholinga chothana ndi vutoli kumayambiriro kwa gawo la 2014. Ife ndi othandizana nawo tidapumira m'malo, kenaka tidayang'ananso funso loti kaya pali gawo limodzi lazankhalango zam'tawuni mu mgwirizanowu potengera njira yatsopano komanso kuyang'ana kwambiri kwamadzi. Yankho linali “inde.”
Kwa zaka 35, Urban Forestry Act yatumikira ku California ngati chitsanzo chowongolera madzi abwino pogwiritsa ntchito njira zothandizira zobiriwira. M'malo mwake, ndi Nyumba Yamalamulo ya Boma yomwe idalengeza kuti "Kukulitsa phindu la mitengo kudzera m'mapulojekiti okhala ndi zolinga zingapo zomwe zimapereka ntchito zachilengedwe zimatha kupereka mayankho otsika mtengo pazosowa za madera akumidzi ndi mabungwe am'deralo, kuphatikiza, koma osati, kuchuluka kwa madzi. kupereka, mpweya wabwino ndi madzi, kuchepa kwa mphamvu zogwiritsira ntchito mphamvu, kusefukira kwa madzi osefukira ndi mphepo yamkuntho, zosangalatsa, ndi kukonzanso mizinda ”(Ndime 4799.07 ya Public Resources Code). Kuti izi zitheke, Nyumba Yamalamulo imalimbikitsa momveka bwino "Kupanga mapulojekiti kapena mapulogalamu omwe amagwiritsa ntchito nkhalango za m'tawuni posungira madzi, kuwongolera madzi abwino, kapena kutenga madzi amvula" (Ndime 4799.12 ya Public Resources Code).
Lamuloli likupitanso m'magawo ena angapo kukambirana za ntchito yoyesa kuwongolera madzi abwino, komanso kufunikira "kukhazikitsa pulogalamu yosamalira nkhalango za m'matauni kuti ilimbikitse kasamalidwe kabwino ka mitengo ndi kubzala m'matauni kuti awonjezere ntchito zophatikizika, zopindula zambiri pothandizira madera akumidzi. ndi njira zatsopano zothetsera mavuto, kuphatikizapo mpweya wowonjezera kutentha, kuwonongeka kwa thanzi la anthu chifukwa cha mpweya wabwino ndi madzi, kutentha kwa chilumba cha m'tawuni, kayendetsedwe ka madzi amvula, kusowa kwa madzi, ndi kusowa kwa malo obiriwira ... "
Dzulo, tinagwirizana ndi mabwenzi angapo ku State Capitol kuti zolinga zathu zidziwike kwa olemba mabilu, ndi mamembala a Senate ya Boma, kuti tikufuna kuphatikizidwa mwachindunji kwa nkhalango za m'tauni mu mgwirizano wa madzi wokonzedwanso. California ReLeaf, pamodzi ndi California Urban Forest Council, California Native Plant Society, Trust for Public Land, ndi California Urban Streams Partnership, adachitira umboni pamlandu wodziwa zambiri pazamadzi ndipo adalankhula za mtengo wobiriwira wobiriwira komanso nkhalango zamtawuni zomwe zimabweretsa kumtunduwu. kuyesetsa kuchepetsa kusefukira kwa madzi a mvula yamkuntho, kuchepetsa kuipitsidwa kwa gwero lomwe simachokera, kuwongolera kuthira madzi apansi panthaka, ndikuwonjezera kukonzanso madzi. Tapereka mwatsatanetsatane kuti maukonde onsewa akonzedwe kuti akhale ndi chilankhulo "kubwezeretsa malo osungiramo mitsinje, mitsinje ya m'tauni ndi malo obiriwira m'boma lonse, kuphatikiza, koma osati, mapulojekiti othandizidwa ndi Urban Streams Restoration Programme yokhazikitsidwa motsatira Gawo 7048, California River. Parkways Act ya 2004 (Chapter 3.8 (kuyambira ndi Gawo 5750) la Division 5 of Public Resources Code), ndi Urban Forestry Act ya 1978 (Chapter 2 (kuyambira ndi Ndime 4799.06) ya Gawo 2.5 la Gawo 4 la Public Resources Kodi)."
Kuchita ndi wathu Network, ndi othandizana nawo m'boma lonse, tipitiliza kunena nkhaniyi miyezi ingapo ikubwerayi kudzera munjira yolumikizirana ndi anthu komanso maphunziro okhudzana ndi kugwirizana pakati pa nkhalango zam'tawuni ndi madzi. Iyi idzakhala nkhondo yokwera. Thandizo lanu lidzakhala lofunika. Ndipo thandizo lanu limafunikira kuposa kale.
Kampeni yomanga nkhalango za m'matauni kukhala gawo lotsatira lamadzi iyamba tsopano.
