Ngaphezu konyaka odlulileyo, i-California ReLeaf ibambe i-100% ye-ajenda yomgaqo-nkqubo kawonke-wonke kwingcamango yokuba ingeniso kunye nengeniso yefandesi yorhwebo yayilelona thuba lihle kakhulu lokuphefumla ubomi obutsha kwiNkqubo ye-CAL FIRE yeNdawo yamaHlathi eDolophu kunye noLuntu, eyabe imali yayo yokugqibela eseleyo yebhondi ngoMatshi.
2013. Ngamanye amazwi, siye “konke-ngaphakathi” kwi-cap kunye norhwebo.
Namhlanje, iRhuluneli uBrown ukhuphe uHlahlo-lwabiwo-mali lukaRhulumente olucetywayo luka-2014-15 olulawula i-50 yezigidi zeedola kwiingeniso zefandesi kwi-CAL FIRE kunye nenxalenye ebalulekileyo ejoliswe ekuxhaseni iiprojekthi zamahlathi asezidolophini ezinceda ukuhlangabezana nenjongo karhulumente yokunciphisa i-greenhouse gases. Le nkxaso-mali icetywayo ibonisa ukuqatshelwa kweeprojekthi zamahlathi asezidolophini njengenxalenye ebalulekileyo yesicwangciso saseKhalifoniya sokuqhubela phambili ukucuthwa kweGHG, ukomeleza uluntu – ingakumbi olo luchatshazelwa kakhulu ngukukhutshwa kwezinto ezikhutshwayo, ukudala imisebenzi, kunye nokukhuthaza ukuvela kwezinto ezintsha.
Le ndlela iyanconywa ngamalungu eSenethi kaRhulumente kunye neNdibano. USenator Lois Wolk (D – 3rd District) uthe ngale ntsasa, “Amahlathi asezidolophini kufuneka abe yinxalenye ephambili kwisicwangciso saseCalifornia sokunciphisa iiGHG nokwakha uluntu olusempilweni. Ukusebenzisa i-cap kunye neemali zorhwebo ukunceda ukufezekisa le njongo kubonisa utyalo-mali oluvakalayo, olufanelekileyo. "
Iinkcukacha zesindululo ziya kucaca ngakumbi kwezi veki zizayo, kodwa kucingelwa ukuba inxalenye elungileyo yezi nkxaso-mali iya kusetyenziselwa ukuhlangabezana neenjongo zeSB 535 ukususela ngo-2012, egunyazisa ukuba ubuncinane i-25% yazo zonke iingxowa-mali ze-cap kunye nezorhwebo kufuneka zixhamle uluntu oluhlelelekileyo.
“Isiphakamiso sohlahlo lwabiwo-mali lweRhuluneli senza utyalo-mali olubalulekileyo kumahlathi asezidolophini oluya kunceda abantu abahlelelekileyo bahlale besempilweni, basebenzise amandla amancinci, kwaye baphumelele. Uluntu lwethu lubandezeleka kakhulu kwiziqithi ezishushu zaseCarlifonia, kwaye eli linyathelo elinye lokusombulula loo ngxaki, utshilo uVien Truong, uMlawuli woLingano lweNdalo kwiGreenlining Institute.
I-California ReLeaf isebenze ngokuthe ngqo kunye nabameli be-SB 535 ngo-2013 ukubonisa uqhagamshelwano oluqinileyo phakathi kwamahlathi asezidolophini kunye nobulungisa bokusingqongileyo, kwaye siyayiqhwabela izandla loo mbumbano yokubandakanya amahlathi asezidolophini njengenye yezinto eziphambili zawo ezintlanu kwi-cap kunye nenkxaso-mali yorhwebo kulo nyaka-mali. Amahlathi asezidolophini nawo amkelwa njengento ephambili kuManyano lweMihlaba yeNdalo neSebenzayo, kunye noLuntu oluZinzileyo lwalo lonke umanyano, olugxile ekuqinisekiseni ukuba imali ekhoyo kunye neemali zorhwebo zisetyenziselwa iiprojekthi ezikwaqhubela phambili iinjongo zeSB 375.
U-Mari Rose Taruc, uMlawuli woQuquzelelo woMbuso we-Asian Pacific Environmental Network uthi “ukubona amahlathi asezidolophini axhaswa ngemali njengenxalenye yesicwangciso sokuqala sotyalo-mali lweNgxowa-mali yokuNcitshiswa kweGesi yoHlaza ibe yinto ephambili kwi-SB 535 Coalition. Ibeka imithi kwezona ndawo zingcolisekileyo zelizwe ezifuna umoya ococekileyo.”
Siyazingca ngokuba yinxalenye yale mbumbano, kwaye siyayibulela yomibini ngokuwamkela lo mba ubaluleke kangaka.
Kwezi nyanga zimbalwa zizayo, i-CAL FIRE iya kuthi ilungelelanise imiba yeenkqubo zayo ezikhoyo zenkxaso-mali yengingqi kumahlathi asezidolophini ukuhlangabezana neemfuno ezongezelelweyo eziza nenkcitho yale mali. Ngelo xesha, i-California ReLeaf, iNethiwekhi, kunye namaqabane ethu aya kuba noxanduva lokuxhasa olu lwabiwo lucetywayo, oluya kuhlolwa kwaye luvotelwe yiNdlu yoWiso-mthetho ngokusebenzisa iikomitana zohlahlo lwabiwo-mali. Ukuba le nqanaba eliphakanyisiweyo lenkxaso-mali lizinzile, iidola ziya kufumaneka kwi-CAL FIRE kungekudala emva kokuba uHlahlo-lwabiwo-mali lukaRhulumente lusayinwe ngoJulayi 2014 kwaye, ekugqibeleni, kuluntu lwaseCalifornia ngendlela yenkxaso-mali yendawo.
Siyavuya ukuba nawe uzimanye nathi kumbhiyozo wento esinethemba lokuba iya kuba luloyiso lokuqala kuninzi lwehlathi laseCarlifonia edolophini kulo nyaka!
