I-Congresswoman u-Doris Matsui (D-CA) ibhiyozele uSuku lwe-Arbor ngokwazisa uMthetho wokuHlala waMandla kunye noLondolozo lwezoQoqosho, owaziwa ngokuba nguMthetho we-TREES. Lo mthetho uza kuseka inkqubo yesibonelelo yokuncedisa izibonelelo zombane ngeenkqubo zogcino lwamandla ezisebenzisa ukutyalwa kwemithi ekujoliswe kuzo ukunciphisa imfuno yamandla kwindawo yokuhlala. Lo mthetho uya kunceda abanini bezindlu ukuba banciphise amatyala abo ombane - kwaye bancede izibonelelo zinciphise imfuno yazo ephezulu - ngokunciphisa imfuno yamandla yokuhlala ebangelwa yimfuno yokuqhuba i-air conditioners kwizinga eliphezulu.
"Njengoko siqhubeka nokujongana nemingeni edibeneyo yeendleko eziphezulu zamandla kunye nemiphumo yokutshintsha kwemozulu, kubalulekile ukuba sibeke imigaqo-nkqubo entsha kunye neenkqubo zokucinga phambili eziza kunceda ukusilungiselela izizukulwana ezizayo," kusho iCongresswoman Matsui (D-CA). "UMthetho wokuHlala waMandla kunye noQoqosho loLondolozo, okanye uMthetho we-TREES, uya kunceda ukunciphisa iindleko zamandla kubathengi kunye nokuphucula umgangatho womoya kubo bonke abantu baseMelika. Isithili sasekhaya saseSacramento, eCalifornia siphumeze inkqubo yomthi womthunzi kwaye ndiyakholelwa ukuba ukuphindaphinda le nkqubo kwinqanaba likazwelonke kuya kunceda ukuqinisekisa ukuba sisebenzela ikamva elicocekileyo nelinempilo.
Ipateni emva komzekelo ophumeleleyo osekwe yiSithili se-Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD), i-TREES ifuna ukusindisa abantu baseMelika imali ebalulekileyo kwiindleko zabo zokusebenza kunye nokunciphisa amaqondo okushisa angaphandle kwiindawo zasezidolophini kuba imithi yomthunzi inceda ukukhusela amakhaya elangeni ehlotyeni.
Ukutyala imithi yomthunzi ejikeleze amakhaya ngendlela ecwangcisiweyo yindlela eqinisekisiweyo yokunciphisa imfuno yamandla kwiindawo zokuhlala. Ngokutsho kophando olwenziwa liSebe lezaMandla, imithi emithathu yomthunzi etyalwe ngokucwangcisekileyo ejikeleze indlu inokunciphisa iindleko zokupholisa umoya ekhaya malunga nama-30 ekhulwini kwezinye izixeko, kwaye inkqubo yomthunzi welizwe lonke inokunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwe-air-conditioning ubuncinane nge-10 ekhulwini. Imithi yomthunzi ikwanceda:
- Ukuphucula impilo yoluntu kunye nomgangatho womoya ngokufunxa i-particle;
- Gcina ikharbon diokside ukunceda ukucotha ubushushu behlabathi;
- Ukunciphisa umngcipheko wezikhukhula kwimimandla yasezidolophini ngokufunxa amanzi eziphango;
- Ukuphucula amaxabiso eepropati zabucala kunye nokwandisa ubuhle bendawo yokuhlala; kwaye,
- Ukugcina iziseko ezingundoqo zoluntu, ezifana nezitrato kunye neendlela zokuhamba.
"Esi sisicwangciso esilula ukufezekisa ukugcinwa kwamandla ngokutyala imithi kunye nokudala umthunzi ongaphezulu," iCongresswoman Matsui yongezelela. “Umthetho weTREES Act unganciphisa amatyala ombane kwiintsapho kwaye wongeze ukonga umbane kumakhaya azo. Xa uluntu lubona iziphumo ezingaqhelekanga kutshintsho oluncinci kwindawo oluhlala kuyo, ukutyala imithi kusengqiqweni. ”
“Siyazingca kwaye siwongekile ukuba iCongresswoman Matsui isebenzise iminyaka yamava e-SMUD ngokhetho lobuchule bomthi kunye nokubekwa ukuze kuncitshiswe ukusetyenziswa kwesimo somoya kunye nokwandisa ukonga amandla,” utshilo uFrankie McDermott, uMlawuli weSMUD weeNkonzo zabaThengi kunye neenkqubo. "Inkqubo yethu yeSacramento Shade, ngoku ikwishumi lesithathu leminyaka kunye nesiqingatha sesigidi semithi etyaliwe, ibonakalise ukuba ukutyalwa kwemithi yasezidolophini nakwidolophu kunceda ukunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwamandla kwaye kuphucula indalo."
“Ngaphaya kwamashumi amabini eminyaka inkqubo yethu yomthi womthunzi oluncedo ivelise ugcino lwamandla ehlotyeni olungqiniweyo kunye nangaphezulu kwe-150,000 yabamkeli abanengqondo yolondolozo lwemithi,” utshilo uRay Trethaway kunye neSacramento Tree Foundation. "Ukwandisa le nkqubo kwinqanaba likazwelonke kuya kuvumela abantu baseMelika kwilizwe liphela ukuba baxhamle kukongiwa kwamandla."
"I-ASLA inika inkxaso kuMthetho we-TREES ngenxa yokuba ukutyala imithi yomthunzi kunye nokwandisa i-canopy yomthi jikelele zizicwangciso ezisebenzayo zokunceda amatyala aphantsi kakhulu kunye nokunciphisa ukungcoliseka komoya," kusho uNancy Somerville, uMhlonishwa. usekela mongameli wesigqeba kunye ne-CEO ye-American Society of Landscape Architects. "I-ASLA iyavuya ukuxhasa umthetho we-TREES kwaye ikhuthaza amalungu eCongress ukuba alandele ubunkokeli boMmeli uMatsui."
