Tshala imali ku-Healy Coastal Ecosystem

Tshala imali endaweni enempilo yasogwini, izothuthukisa inhlalakahle yabantu. Futhi, izosibuyisela izikhathi eziningi.

Qaphela: Njengenani lezinye izinhlangano, i-Earth Day Network ihambise ama-50 ayo^th Umgubho we-Anniversary ku-inthanethi. Ungayithola lapha.

The 50^th Isikhumbuzo soSuku Lomhlaba sesifikile. Futhi nokho kuyinselelo yethu sonke. Kunzima ukucabanga ngoSuku Lomhlaba ngenkathi sichitha isikhathi esiningi sisendlini, kude nosongo olungabonakali lwempilo yethu neyabathandekayo bethu. Kunzima ukubona ngeso lengqondo ukuthi umoya namanzi sekuhlanzeke kangakanani emasontweni ambalwa nje ngenxa yokuhlala kwethu ekhaya ukuze “sicabaze ijika” futhi sisindise izimpilo. Kunzima ukubiza wonke umuntu ukuthi abhekane nokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu, kuncishiswe ukungcoliswa komhlaba, futhi kuncishiswe ukusetshenziswa kwemali lapho u-10% wabasebenzi besizwe sakithi ufaka izicelo zokuntuleka kwemisebenzi, futhi cishe u-61% wabantu besizwe sakithi uthinteke kabi ngokwezimali. 

Nokho, singakubheka ngenye indlela. Singase siqale ukucabanga ngokuthi singazithatha kanjani izinyathelo ezilandelayo zeplanethi yethu ngendlela engcono kakhulu esingayenza emiphakathini yethu. Kuthiwani ngokuthatha izinyathelo ezihambisana nesimo sezulu eziwutshalomali oluhle? Ilungele isikhuthazo sesikhathi esifushane futhi iqale kabusha umnotho, ilungele ukulungela izimo eziphuthumayo, futhi ilungele ukusenza sonke sibe sengcupheni yokuphefumula nezinye izifo? Kuthiwani uma singathatha izinyathelo ezinikeza izinzuzo ezinkulu zezomnotho, ezempilo, nezenhlalo kithi sonke?

Singacabanga ukuthi singasicaba kanjani ijika lokuphazamiseka kwesimo sezulu futhi sikubone ngeso lengqondo ukuphazamiseka kwesimo sezulu njengento eyabiwe (hhayi ngokungafani nobhubhane). Singanciphisa noma siqede ukukhishwa kwethu kwesisi esibamba ukushisa, sidale amathuba emisebenzi eyengeziwe kulolu shintsho. Singakwazi susa ukukhishwa kwegesi ngeke sikwazi ukuyigwema, into okungenzeka ukuthi ubhubhane isinikeze umbono omusha ngayo. Futhi, singalindela izinsongo futhi sitshale ekulungiseleleni nasekubuyiseleni kabusha esikhathini esizayo.

Phakathi kwabantu abasekhaleni lokushintsha kwesimo sezulu yilabo abahlala ogwini abasengcupheni yeziphepho, iziphepho kanye nokuphakama kolwandle. Futhi leyo miphakathi idinga ukuba nezinhlelo ezakhelwe ngaphakathi zokuvuselela umnotho ophazamisekile—noma ngabe ubangelwa ukuqhakaza kolwelwe olunobuthi, isiphepho, ubhubhane noma ukuchitheka kukawoyela.

Ngakho, lapho singakwazi ukubona izinsongo, ngisho noma zingase zisondele, kufanele senze konke esingakwenza ukuze sizilungiselele. Njengoba nje labo abahlala ezindaweni ezinezivunguvungu benemizila yokuphuma, izindawo zokuvala iziphepho, nezinhlelo zokukhosela izimo eziphuthumayo—yonke imiphakathi kudingeka iqinisekise ukuthi inezinyathelo ezidingekayo zokuvikela abantu, amakhaya abo kanye nezindlela zokuziphilisa, ingqalasizinda yomphakathi kanye nemithombo yemvelo etholakalayo. abathembele kubo.

Asikwazi ukwakha ibhamuza emiphakathini yasogwini esengozini njengesivikelo sesikhathi eside ngokumelene nezinguquko ekujuleni kolwandle, ikhemistri, nezinga lokushisa. Asikwazi ukubeka imaski ebusweni babo, noma sibatshele ukuthi #stayhome bese siphawula uhlu lokuhlola ukuphepha njengoba luqediwe. Ukuthatha isinyathelo ogwini ukutshala imali kukho kokubili isu lesikhathi esifushane nelide, elikhiqiza ukulungela okukhulu kwezimo eziphuthumayo. futhi isekela inhlalakahle yansuku zonke yemiphakathi yabantu nezilwane.

Izigidi ezingenakubalwa zamahektha omhlume, utshani basolwandle, nexhaphozi likasawoti zilahlekile emisebenzini yabantu e-US nasemhlabeni jikelele. Ngakho-ke, lesi simiso sokuvikela semvelo semiphakathi yasogwini silahlekile futhi.

Kodwa-ke, sifunde ukuthi ngeke sithembele “kwingqalasizinda empunga” ukuze sivikele ama-promenade, imigwaqo nezindlu. Izindonga zolwandle ezinkulu zikakhonkolo, izinqwaba zamatshe kanye ne-rip-rap ngeke zenze umsebenzi wokuvikela ingqalasizinda yethu. Zibonisa amandla, aziwamunyi. Ukwandiswa kwawo amandla kuyawalulaza, kuyawashaya futhi kuyawaphula. Amandla abonisiwe akhuhla isihlabathi. Baphenduka ama-projectiles. Izikhathi eziningi, bavikela umakhelwane oyedwa ngezindleko zomunye. 

Ngakho-ke, iyiphi ingqalasizinda engcono, ehlala isikhathi eside ukutshalwa kwezimali? Iluphi uhlobo lwesivikelo oluzikhiqizayo, ikakhulukazi ukuzibuyisela ngemva kwesiphepho? Futhi, kulula ukuphindaphinda? 

Emiphakathini egudle ugu, lokho kusho ukutshala imali kukhabhoni eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka—izimfunda zethu zasolwandle, amahlathi omhlume, nezizalo zamaxhaphozi anosawoti. Lezi zindawo sizibiza ngokuthi “ikhabhoni eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka” ngoba ziphinde zithathe futhi zigcine ikhabhoni—okusiza ekwehliseni imiphumela yokukhishwa kwesisi esibamba ukushisa ngokweqile olwandle kanye nempilo yangaphakathi.

Manje sikwenza kanjani lokhu?

• Buyisela ikhabhoni eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka
  • ukutshala kabusha imihlume nezimfunda zasolwandle
  • sizimisele ngokubuyisela amaxhaphozi ethu

• Vikela esikushiyile
  • hlela kabusha ukuthuthukiswa kogu ukuze kuvikelwe, hhayi ukucekela phansi izindawo zokuhlala
  • ushintsho ukuziphatha kwesikebhe ukuvikela indawo yokuhlala

• Dala izimo zemvelo ezisekela impilo yendawo yokuhlala ephezulu
  • amanzi ahlanzekile-isb nciphisa ukugeleza kwemisebenzi eyenziwa emhlabathini
  • akukho ukugaya, akukho ngqalasizinda empunga eseduze
  • ingqalasizinda engenamthelela ophansi, eklanywe kahle ukusekela imisebenzi emihle yabantu (isb. ama-marinas)
  • ukubhekana nokulimala kwengqalasizinda ekhona engasebenzi (isb. izinkundla zamandla, amapayipi angasekho, izinto zokudoba izipoki)

• Vumela ukuvuselelwa kwemvelo lapho singakwazi khona, sitshale kabusha lapho kudingeka

Yini esiyitholayo njengembuyiselo? Inala ebuyiselwe.

• Iqoqo lezinhlelo zemvelo ezimunca amandla esiphepho, amagagasi, amaza, ngisho nomoya othile (kuze kufike endaweni ethile)
• Imisebenzi yokubuyisela nokuvikela
• Imisebenzi yokuqapha nokucwaninga
• Izizinda zokudoba ezithuthukisiwe kanye nezindawo zokuhlala ukuze kusekelwe ukuphepha kokudla kanye nemisebenzi yezomnotho ehlobene nokudoba (ezokungcebeleka nezohwebo)
• Izindawo zokubuka namabhishi (kunokuba kube izindonga namadwala) ukuze kusekelwe ezokuvakasha
• Ukunciphisa ukugeleza kwamanzi njengoba lezi zinhlelo zihlanza amanzi (ukuhlunga amagciwane kanye nokungcola)

Kunezinzuzo eziningi zomphakathi ezivela emanzini ahlanzekile, izindawo zokudoba eziningi kakhulu, kanye nemisebenzi yokubuyisela. Izinzuzo zokudliwa kwekhabhoni kanye nokugcinwa kwemvelo yasogwini zidlula ezamahlathi asemhlabeni, futhi ukuwavikela kuqinisekisa ukuthi ikhabhoni ayiphinde ikhishwe. Ukwengeza, ngokwe-High Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy (engingumeluleki wayo), amasu ezixazululo ezisekelwe emvelweni ezindaweni ezingamaxhaphozi aqashelwe “ukuqinisekisa ukulingana kobulili okukhulu njengoba izimboni ezisekelwe olwandle zanda futhi zenza ngcono amathuba emali engenayo kanye izindlela zokuziphilisa.” 

Ukubuyiselwa nokuvikelwa kwekhabhoni eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka akukhona nje ukuvikela imvelo. Lena ingcebo ohulumeni abangayidalela umnotho wonke. Ukwehliswa kwentela kubulale ohulumeni bezinsiza ngesikhathi nje zidingeka kakhulu (esinye isifundo esivela kulo bhubhane). Ukubuyiselwa nokuvikelwa kwekhabhoni eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka kuwumthwalo kahulumeni futhi ngaphakathi kwamakhono akhe. Intengo iphansi, futhi inani lekhabhoni eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka liphezulu. Ukubuyiselwa nokuvikelwa kungafezwa ngokwandisa nokusungula ubudlelwano obusha phakathi kwezinkampani ezizimele nezikahulumeni, kanye nokugqugquzela ukuqanjwa okusha okuzodala amathuba emisebenzi emisha kanye nokudla, umnotho kanye nokuvikeleka kogu.

Yilokhu okushiwo ukubekezela lapho ubhekene nokuphazamiseka okukhulu kwesimo sezulu: ukwenza ukutshalwa kwezimali manje osekunezinzuzo eziningi-futhi unikeze indlela yokusimamisa imiphakathi njengoba ibuya ngenxa yokuphazamiseka okukhulu, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kubangelwa yini. 

Omunye wabahleli boSuku Lomhlaba lokuqala, uDenis Hayes, muva nje uthe wayecabanga ukuthi abantu abayizigidi ezingu-20 ababezogubha babecela okuthile okungavamile kakhulu kunalabo ababebhikishela impi. Babecela ushintsho olukhulu endleleni uhulumeni avikela ngayo impilo yabantu bakhe. Okokuqala, ukumisa ukungcoliswa komoya, amanzi nomhlaba. Ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa koshevu obulale izilwane ngokungakhethi. Futhi mhlawumbe okubaluleke kakhulu, ukutshala kulawo masu nobuchwepheshe ukubuyisela inala ukuze kuzuze bonke. Ekupheleni kosuku, siyazi ukuthi ukutshalwa kwezimali kwezigidigidi emoyeni ohlanzekile namanzi ahlanzekile kunikeze imbuyiselo kubo bonke abantu baseMelika ezigidigidi—futhi kwadala izimboni eziqinile ezinikezelwe kuleyo migomo. 

Ukutshala imali kukhabhoni eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka kuzophatha izinzuzo ezifanayo-hhayi nje emiphakathini yasogwini, kodwa kuzo zonke izinto eziphilayo emhlabeni.
