Ukonyusa ulwazi malunga nokukhathalelwa kwendalo kunye nentlalo-ntle ngokubanzi yeplanethi, i Usuku lomhlaba. Olu suku lubhiyozelwa nge-22 ka-Epreli kunyaka ngamnye kwaye into ekulingwayo kukukhumbula amaxabiso aseplanethi yethu kunye nemfuno yokugcina okusingqongileyo. Yinto ebalulekileyo ekufuneka siyithathele ingqalelo ekubeni sizibophezele kwindalo esingqongileyo kwaye kufuneka siqinisekise le meko isempilweni nakwizizukulwana ezizayo.
Kule nqaku siza kukuxelela yonke into oyifunayo malunga noMhla woMhlaba.
Xa uSuku loMhlaba lwaqala ukubhiyozelwa
Rhoqo ngonyaka sibhiyozela i-Epreli 22 ukusukela ngo-1970 ukuba intshukumo yokusingqongileyo yaqalwa apho ngaphezulu kwama-20 ezigidi aseMelika abonisa ngokuthatha ezitalatweni ukulwela imeko-bume esempilweni. Kuvakala kuyindida ukuba ukubhiyozelwa kwalolu suku kwenziwa ngabantu baseMelika xa bengabokuqala ukuba nemigaqo-nkqubo ethoba indalo.
Emva kwalo mboniso, isiqalo esifutshane sifezekisiwe ekwaziseni abezopolitiko ngokubaluleka kwendalo kunye nemfuno yabo yokuyigcina. Yayo, i-Arhente yokuKhuselwa kokusiNgqongileyo eMelika yenziwa. Kule mbutho ungalawula imithetho ukuze ufumane amanzi okusela, umoya ngaphandle kongcoliseko, ulondoloze iintlobo zezilwanyana ezisemngciphekweni wokutshabalala kwaye zilwe nokutshatyalaliswa kwamahlathi, phakathi kwabanye.
Olu Suku loMhlaba ngumhla ophambili kuwo onke amazwe ukubonakalisa ukukhathalela umhlaba wethu. Kwaye kufuneka sizikhathaze ngakumbi ngongcoliseko, ukugcinwa kwezinto eziphilayo ezahlukeneyo, ukukhuselwa kwendalo kunye, nokusetyenziswa kobutyebi bendalo ngokubanzi.
Ubhiyozelwa njani uSuku loMhlaba?
KwiZizwe eziManyeneyo, kuyaqondakala ukuba iplanethi yethu nayo yonke indalo iyikhaya lomntu kwaye, ngendlela efanayo, siqinisekile ukuba kufuneka sifezekise ukulingana phakathi kweemfuno zoqoqosho, ezentlalo nezokusingqongileyo. Zonke ezi njongo kufuneka zifezekiswe kwizizukulwana zangoku nezexesha elizayo. Yayo, Kuyimfuneko ukukhuthaza ukuvumelana okukhoyo phakathi kwendalo kunye nabantu. Ngale mini sizama ukwenza ukuba wonke umntu azi ngandlela thile ukuba kufuneka sibhiyozele kwaye sikhathalele iplanethi yethu. Ayisiyongqondo kwaphela ukubhiyozela ukuba sinokuhlala kwiplanethi ekuphela kwayo ehlangabezana neemeko zokubamba ubomi kwinkqubo yethu yelanga.
Ukuze iplanethi iqhubeke nokusinika iimeko ezifanelekileyo kuphuhliso lwethu, kufuneka senze eyethu indima ngokukodwa. Kwaye iplanethi yethu ayifuni ukuba sikwazi ukuqhubeka noomatshini bayo kwaye siyayidinga. Enye yeengxaki ezinobungozi kokusingqongileyo ezisongela uluntu kukutshintsha kwemozulu. Nangona kubonakala ngathi yingxaki ehlala ikude ngandlela ithile, isondele ngakumbi kunokuba sicinga. Sele zikhona izazinzulu banike isilumkiso esingxamisekileyo kwimozulu kwihlabathi liphela okoko iziphumo ebezifundwe kwixesha elide ezinokwenzeka ukuba siqhubeka nemveliso yangoku kunye nolawulo longcoliseko zenzeka kwangaphambi koko.
Nangona iinkokheli ezininzi zopolitiko zicinga ukuba le yinto ikude kakhulu, usuku loMhlaba lunjengolo enye yeenjongo eziphambili kukukhumbuza aba bapolitiki ukuba utshintsho lwemozulu kufuneka luqwalaselwe ngokukhawuleza.

Iziphumo kwinqanaba lehlabathi
Olu suku sele benesiphumo esingaphezulu nangakumbi kwinqanaba lehlabathi. Qho ngonyaka, ngaphezulu kwabantu abali-1000 lezigidi kumazwe ayi-190 abathatha inxaxheba ukubhiyozela. Izixeko ezinjengeSan Francisco, iSan Juan, iMoscow, iBrussels okanye iMarrakech zinxiba ukuya kusela ngexesha lomboniso wale planethi kwaye abemi bayavuma ukutyala imithi, ukucoca uluntu kunye nokunxibelelana nabameli bezopolitiko ukukhusela indalo.
Kufanelekile ukuba kukhankanywe ukuba usuku olunye ngonyaka apho izinto eziphambili ngokubaluleka ziya kuba kwimeko engonelanga konke konke ekufuneka sikwenzile. Kwaye kukuba iingxaki zokusingqongileyo kwinqanaba lehlabathi ziya zisiba mandundu. Ukuze kudanjiswe zonke iingxaki zokusingqongileyo, kuya kufuneka ukuba kuguqulwe ngokupheleleyo inkqubo yezoqoqosho esibhaptizwa kuyo. Umbutho wabathengi wangoku ukhawulezisa iinkqubo zokukhupha ubutyebi bendalo kunye nokwanda kwemisebenzi ethoba isidima.
Ngolibaziseko olunamandla esinalo lokutshintsha kwamandla ukuya kumandla ahlaziyekayo, kuya kufuneka siqhubeke nokusebenzisa iifosili njengowona mthombo wamandla. Ezi fuels zivelisa ukungcola okuninzi. Ezona zinto zichaphazelekileyo zezi: umoya, amanzi, imihlaba, izityalo nezilwanyana ezohlukeneyo, nangona zisenokungabonakali ngathi, ngabantu. Umgangatho wobomi babantu ezixekweni usezantsi kakhulu kunokuba kufanelekile ngenxa yokusetyenziswa gwenxa kwezibaso.

- Unokucebisa umhlobo osondeleyo ukuba atshintshe izibane ze-incandescent izibane zokugcina amandla okanye iibhalbhu ze-LED.
