Sivame ukutshala izihlahla njengesenzo esingokomfanekiso. Sizitshala ngoSuku Lomhlaba ngokuhlonipha umoya ohlanzekile nokusimama. Siphinde sitshale izihlahla ukuze sikhumbule abantu nemicimbi.
Kodwa izihlahla zenza okungaphezu nje kokunikeza umthunzi nokuthuthukisa indawo ezungezile. Zibalulekile futhi empilweni yomphakathi.
E-Sacramento, i-American Lung Association eqambe idolobha lase-US lesihlanu ngokubi kakhulu ngekhwalithi yomoya nalapho amazinga okushisa akhula afinyelela ukuphakama kwamadijithi amathathu, kufanele sikuthathele phezulu ukubaluleka kwezihlahla.
Uphenyo olwenziwe yintatheli yeSacramento Bee uMichael Finch II luveza ukungalingani okukhulu eSacramento. Izindawo ezingomakhelwane ezicebile zinezihlahla ezivundile kuyilapho izindawo ezimpofu ngokuvamile azinazo.
Imephu enekhodi enombala yesihlahla se-Sacramento ibonisa izithunzi ezimnyama eziluhlaza ngasenkabeni yedolobha, ezindaweni ezifana ne-East Sacramento, i-Land Park kanye nezingxenye ezimaphakathi nedolobha. Lapho umbala uluhlaza ujula, amahlamvu aminyene kakhulu. Izindawo ezihlala abantu abahola kancane emaphethelweni edolobha, njengeMeadowview, Del Paso Heights kanye neFruitridge, azinazo izihlahla.
Lezo zindawo ezingomakhelwane, ngokuba nekhava yezihlahla ezincane, zisengozini yokushisa kakhulu - futhi iSacramento iya ngokushisa kakhulu.
Isifunda kulindeleke ukuthi sibone isilinganiso saminyaka yonke se-19 kuya ku-31 100-degree kanye nezinsuku ngo-2050, ngokombiko we-2017 ogunyazwe yisifunda. Lokho kuqhathaniswa nesilinganiso sezinsuku zokushisa ezinezinhlamvu ezine ezinezinombolo ezintathu ngonyaka phakathi kuka-1961 no-1990. Ukuthi kushisa kangakanani kuzoncika ekutheni ohulumeni bakunqanda kanjani ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli wezinto ezimbiwa phansi kanye nokwehla kokufudumala kwembulunga yonke.
Amazinga okushisa aphezulu asho ukwehla kwezinga lomoya kanye nengozi eyengeziwe yokufa kokushisa. Ukushisa futhi kudala izimo eziholela ekwakhekeni kwe-ozone esezingeni eliphansi, into engcolisayo eyaziwa ngokucasula amaphaphu.
I-ozone iyingozi ikakhulukazi kubantu abanesifuba somoya, abadala kakhulu nabancane kakhulu, kanye nabantu abasebenza ngaphandle. Uphenyo lweBee luphinde luveze ukuthi izindawo ezingomakhelwane ezingenazo izihlahla zinezinga eliphezulu lesifuba somoya.
Yingakho ukutshala izihlahla kubaluleke kakhulu ukuvikela impilo nokujwayela ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu.
“Izihlahla zisiza ukulwa nezingozi ezingabonakali empilweni yabantu njengokungcoliswa kwe-ozone nokungcoliswa kwezinhlayiyana. Bangasiza ekwehliseni amazinga okushisa emigwaqweni eduze kwezikole nasezitobhini zamabhasi lapho abanye abasengozini enkulu njengezingane nabantu abadala bevama kakhulu,” kubhala uFinch.
UMkhandlu Wedolobha Lase-Sacramento unethuba lokulungisa ikhava yombhede wezihlahla ongalingani wedolobha lethu lapho uphothula izibuyekezo zoHlelo Olukhulu Lwehlathi Ledolobha Ledolobha ekuqaleni konyaka ozayo. Uhlelo kumele lubeke phambili izindawo ezingenazo izihlahla njengamanje.
Abameli balezi zindawo zomakhelwane bakhathazeke ngokuthi bazosala ngemuva futhi. UCindy Blain, umqondisi omkhulu wenhlangano engenzi nzuzo yaseCalifornia ReLeaf, usole idolobha “ngokungabi nalo umuzwa wokuphuthuma” mayelana nendaba yokungalingani kwesihlahla.
Isazi samahlathi edolobha, uKevin Hocker, ukuvumile umehluko kodwa sabeka ukungabaza mayelana nekhono ledolobha lokutshala ezindaweni ezithile.
“Siyazi ngokujwayelekile ukuthi singatshala izihlahla eziningi kodwa kwezinye izindawo zedolobha – ngenxa yokwakheka kwazo noma indlela ezihlelwe ngayo –amathuba okutshala awekho,” usho kanje.
Naphezu kwanoma yiziphi izinselelo endleleni yokuvala isihlahla sakusihlwa, akhona namathuba ngendlela yemizamo yomphakathi ephansi ukuze idolobha lincike kuzo.
E-Del Paso Heights, i-Del Paso Heights Growers 'Alliance isivele isebenza ukutshala amakhulu ezihlahla.
Umgqugquzeli we-Alliance u-Fatima Malik, oyilungu lekhomishana yamapaki kanye nokucebisa umphakathi, uthe ufuna ukubambisana nedolobha “ukubasiza benze umsebenzi wabo kangcono” ukutshala nokunakekela izihlahla.
Ezinye izindawo ezingomakhelwane nazo zinemizamo yokutshala nokunakekela izihlahla, kwesinye isikhathi ngokubambisana neSacramento Tree Foundation. Izakhamizi ziphuma zitshale izihlahla futhi zizinakekele ngaphandle kokuthi idolobha lizibandakanye nakancane. Idolobhakazi kufanele libheke izindlela zokudala zokusekela imizamo ekhona ukuze bakwazi ukuhlanganisa izindawo eziningi ezinekhava yezihlahla ezincane.
Abantu bazimisele ukusiza. Uhlelo olusha oluyinhloko lwezihlahla kufanele likusebenzise ngokugcwele lokho.
UMkhandlu weDolobha unomsebenzi wokunikeza izakhamizi ithuba lokudlala kahle empilweni enempilo. Ingakwenza lokhu ngokubeka phambili ukutshalwa kwezihlahla ezintsha kanye nokunakekela izihlahla okuqhubekayo ezindaweni ezingomakhelwane ezinombhede omncane.
