Phantse i-100,000 yeedola kwizibonelelo ezikhuphisanayo ziya kufumaneka kuluntu lwaseCalifornia
SAN FRANCISCO — I I-Arhente yoKhuselo lokuSingqongileyo inika i-150,000 yeedola eCalifornia ReLeaf, umbutho ongenzi nzuzo ozinze eSacramento, Calif., ojolise ekwandiseni imfundo yendalo esingqongileyo. Injongo yeReLeaf kukuxhobisa iinzame zengca ukugcina nokukhusela amahlathi asezidolophini nasekuhlaleni aseCalifornia.
I-California ReLeaf iya kubhengeza isicelo senkqubo yabo yesibonelelo esincinci ngo-Agasti 2012, kwaye emva kwenkqubo yokuphonononga, iya kunika i-$ 5,000 kumbutho ngamnye ofanelekileyo. Abafake izicelo abafanelekileyo babandakanya nawaphi na amaziko emfundo asekuhlaleni, iikholeji okanye iiyunivesithi, imfundo karhulumente okanye iiarhente zokusingqongileyo, kunye nemibutho engenzi nzuzo.
"Ezi mali ze-EPA ziya kufaka ubomi obutsha kwiinkqubo zendawo yokusingqongileyo ngexesha apho uluntu lujongene nohlahlo lwabiwo-mali oluqinileyo," watsho uJared Blumenfeld, uMlawuli weNgingqi we-EPA kwi-Pacific Southwest. "Ndikhuthaza izikolo kunye namaqela oluntu ukuba afake izicelo zezi nkxaso-mali ukuze kuphuculwe ukulawulwa kwamahlathi asezidolophini kwiiyadi zabo nakwiidolophu."
“Isibhengezo sanamhlanje siyimpumelelo enkulu kwiSacramento,” utshilo uKevin Johnson, uSodolophu waseSacramento. “Esi sibonelelo siza kuqinisekisa ukuba ummandla wethu uyaqhubekeka ukuba yinkokeli yesizwe kwintshukumo yohlaza kwaye yongeza iinzame zethu zokuphucula i-'Green IQ' yale ngingqi – eyona njongo iphambili xa sasiqala iGreenwise Joint Venture. Ngotyalo-mali lwe-EPA, i-Sacramento inomdla wokunceda ukufundisa isizukulwana esilandelayo seenkokeli zokusingqongileyo kwaye ithathe ukuzinikela kwayo kuhlaza ukuya kwinqanaba elilandelayo. "
Phantse i-$100,000 yemali yesibonelelo se-EPA iya kuhanjiswa kwakhona yi-ReLeaf kwiiprojekthi zoluntu ezingama-20 eziya kusebenzisana nabemi basekuhlaleni ekudaleni amathuba asebenzayo okufunda ngendalo esingqongileyo ngeeprojekthi ezigxile kutyalo lwemithi kunye nokhathalelo lwemithi. Abawongwa abancinci kuya kufuneka bafikelele kuluhlu olwahlukeneyo lwababukeli phakathi koluntu lwasekhaya ngokuphumeza iiprojekthi ezilungiselelwe ukubonelela ngemfundo yokusingqongileyo malunga neenzuzo zamahlathi edolophu ezinxulumene nomoya, amanzi kunye nokutshintsha kwemozulu kulo lonke elaseCalifornia. Iiprojekthi kufuneka zibonelele ngemfundo, zinike uluntu imvakalelo “yobunini,” kwaye ziphuhlise iinguqu zokuziphatha ezikhokelela kwizenzo ezilungileyo ngakumbi.
Inkqubo yenkxaso-mali yemfundo yendalo esingqongileyo ye-EPA yinkqubo ekhuphisanayo yokwandisa ulwazi lukawonke-wonke ngemiba yokusingqongileyo, nokunika abathathi-nxaxheba beprojekthi izakhono eziyimfuneko ukuze benze izigqibo ezizizo malunga nokusingqongileyo. Malunga ne-$150,000 iya kunikwa umfaki-sicelo omnye kwiMimandla elishumi ye-EPA ukulawula le nkqubo.
