Kusele iiveki ezimbini kwiSeshini yoWiso-mthetho ka-2012, i-California ReLeaf yafumanisa ukuba “inkqubo yenkxaso-mali yeprojekthi yendawo” eyayinqweneleka kakhulu yayifakelwa kwi-Cap and Trade bill package eyayiqhubela phambili ngomfutho omkhulu. Ulwimi olucetywayo lunoninzi lwezinto ezifuna ukubonwa uthungelwano lwethu lwamahlathi asezidolophini (kuquka ukukhankanywa kokutyalwa kwezityalo ezidolophini)… ngaphandle kokufaneleka kokungenzi nzuzo! Uluntu luphela, ngaphandle kwamaziko aqinisekisiweyo olondolozo lwendalo, lwavalwa ngaphandle ngokupheleleyo.
Ngomso olandelayo, kwiiyure nje ezimbalwa, iNethiwekhi iphendule njengokuba bebengafane baphendule ngaphambili. Phantse amashumi amathathu imibutho idityaniswe kunye kwileta yeqela ifuna ukufaneleka kokungenzi nzuzo. Amaqela asuka e-Eureka ukuya eSan Diego akhukulise iofisi kaSomlomo weNdibano uJohn Perez ngemizekelo ethile yokuba kutheni ii-nonprofits kufuneka zibe ngabadlali abalinganayo kweli bala. Ekupheleni kosuku, ulwimi olutsha lwalukho kumthetho oyilwayo, kwaye abangenzi nzuzo babekwibala lokudlala.
I-cap kunye nephakheji yorhwebo ithathe uphindaphindo oluninzi kwiintsuku ezilishumi ezizayo, kwaye yaba luxanduva lwethu oluhlangeneyo ukugcina ii-nonprofits kumxube, nangona amaphepha okubhaliweyo ayesikwa kwimilinganiselo. Ngenkxaso kwiinzame zethu ezivela kwiThe Trust for Public Land kunye neThe Nature Conservancy, nangona kunjalo, ulwimi olungenzi ngeniso luye lwaqina ngakumbi.
Ngexesha inguqulelo yokugqibela yomthetho oyilwayo - AB 1532 (Perez) - yayivotelwa ngaphandle koMgangatho weNdibano, ulwimi ngaphakathi komlinganiselo ochaziweyo obonelela "ngamathuba kumashishini, ii-arhente zoluntu, ii-nonprofits, kunye namanye amaziko oluntu ukuba athathe inxaxheba kwaye axhamle. kwiinzame zelizwe lonke zokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwegesi yegreenhouse”; kunye “nenkxaso-mali yokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwerhasi yegreenhouse ngotyalo-mali kwiinkqubo eziphunyezwe zii-arhente zasekhaya nezengingqi, intsebenziswano yasekhaya neyengingqi, kunye nemibutho engenzi nzuzo enxibelelana noorhulumente basekhaya.”
Kubonakala kuncinci. Amagama amabini kwibhili enamaphepha alishumi. Kodwa ngokutyikitya kweRhuluneli uBrown ye-AB 1532 kunye ne-SB 535 (De Leon) nge-30 kaSeptemba.th, la magama mabini aqinisekisa ukuba zonke I-California nonprofits iya kuba nethuba lokukhuphisana ngeebhiliyoni zeedola kwingeniso eya kusetyenziselwa ukuhlangabezana neenjongo ze-AB 32 kunye nokunciphisa i-greenhouse gas. Kwaye yeyiphi indlela engcono yokuhlangabezana nale mfuno kunokuba kubekho abangenzi nzuzo baqhubeke nokuhlaza iGolden State yethu umthi omnye ngexesha.
