Umhlahlandlela wombungazi wokusekela ukuvakasha okusimeme

Ingxenye yokuba umbungazi ongalimazi imvelo ukumema izivakashi zakho ukuba nazo zihlanganyele. Njengoba ukungalimazi imvelo kungaba kusha kuzo, kuyasiza ukuchaza indlela ezingenza ngayo umehluko.

Ukuze sikusekele ekufundiseni izivakashi zakho ngokuhamba okungalimazi imvelo ezungezile, sihlanganise amacebiso avela emphakathini wethu womhlaba wonke waBabungazi futhi sasebenza ne-United Nations Environment Programme, ummeli ogunyaziwe wendawo yembulunga yonke, kanye ne-World Wildlife Fund, inhlangano ehamba phambili yokulondoloza umhlaba.

Qhubeka ufunde ukuze uthole ukuthi ungakuthuthukisa kanjani ukuhamba okufanele indawo ezungezile.

Uhambo lwemoto olufushane lwenza izingxenye ezintathu kwezine* ze-carbon dioxide ezikhishwa izinto zokuhamba, ngakho-ke ukukhuthaza izivakashi zakho ukuba zisebenzise izinto zokuhamba zomphakathi kungaba nomthelela omkhulu.

Njengoba ukuhambahamba ezindaweni ezintsha kungaba nzima ezihambini, siza izivakashi ngokufaka imininingwane yebhasi, i-subway, noma isitimela encwadini yakho yeziqondiso, kuhlanganise nemali yokugibela elinganiselwe nezindlela ezingcono kakhulu zokuya ezakhiweni ezivelele zasendaweni kanye nasesikhumulweni sezindiza. Ungabuye uhlinzeke ngamabhayisikili ezivakashi, noma utuse ibhizinisi lapho zingawaqasha khona.

Izinto zepulasitiki zakha imfucuza eningi futhi kaningi azisetshenziswa kabusha. Ngoba imikhiqizo yepulasitiki iyingozi kakhulu emhlabeni, kubalulekile ukugwema ukuyithenga noma nini lapho ukwazi.

Ukusiza ukukhuthaza izivakashi ukuba zingathengi izinto zepulasitiki phakathi nokuhlala kwazo, Umbungazi ovelele u-Tifanny e-Hollywood Beach, e-California, uhlinzeka ngezinto ezingasetshenziswa kabusha njengezinkomishi namabhodlela amanzi ukuze izivakashi zizisebenzise. E-Chiang Mai, e-Thailand, Umbungazi ovelele u-Nutth ubuye azise izivakashi lapho zingagcwalisa kabusha amabhodlela amanzi zibe zihlola indawo.

Amapuleti angasetshenziswa kabusha, izitsha zesiliva, nezitsha zokugcina ukudla nazo zingavumela izivakashi zakho ukuba zijabulele ukudlela ngaphandle zibe zinciphisa imfucuza.

Sebenzisa imanyuwali yendlu noma incwadi yeziqondiso ukutshela izivakashi ngendawo yakho yokudlela oyithandayo engalimazi imvelo, imakethe yabalimi, noma isitolo esithengisa imikhiqizo yasendaweni nengalimazi imvelo. Uma kukhona umkhiqizo ngaleyo nkathi endaweni yangakini, kusho nalokho. "Sinokusikisela okuningi encwadini yethu yeziqondiso kwezindawo zokudlela ezinhle kakhulu ezinenkambiso yokungalimazi imvelo efana neyethu," kusho Umbungazi ovelele u-Anna e-Pembrokeshire, e-Wales.

Ungaqokomisa ngisho nemikhiqizo yasendaweni izivakashi ezingafuna ukuyizama noma ukuya nayo ekhaya njengesikhumbuzo. E-Tasmania, e-Australia, Umbungazi ovelele u-Merrydith ushiyela izivakashi insipho eyenziwe ngezandla yoju ne-lavender yokuyisebenzisa noma ukuhamba nayo ekhaya.

Phakathi kwemithetho yendlu yakho noma imanyuwali yendlu, ungacela izivakashi ukuthi zinciphise imfucuza, zingagezi isikhathi eside phakathi kwe-shower, ziphuze amanzi ompompi ahlungiwe, futhi zigcine i-thermostat isezingeni ebekwe kulo. Ungabhala namaphuzu endaweni yakho ukukhumbuza izivakashi ukucisha izibani ngaphambi kokuba zihambe nokuthi zivale amanzi lapho zixubha amazinyo azo.

Umbungazi ovelele u-Omar e-Mexico City wenza amavidiyo izivakashi ezingawafinyelela kusuka kumakhodi we-QR achaza inqubo yokusebenzisa kabusha izinto emafulethini akhe kanye nemiphumela eyingozi yamapulasitiki asetshenziswa kanye kuphela.

Le mikhuba angeke ikongele imali nje kuphela, ingaheha nezivakashi ezizama ukuhamba ngendlela engalimazi imvelo.

Imiphakathi emhlabeni wonke ithintwa izinkinga zendawo ezungezile njengomlilo wobhememe, izikhukhula, nesimo sezulu esibi kakhulu. Ngokusho izinkinga zasendaweni kumanyuwali yakho yendlu, ungafundisa izivakashi zakho ukuthi zingaba kanjani izihambi ezinomthwalo wemfanelo—futhi uzazise ngezingozi ezingase zihlangabezane nazo ekhaya, njengokungcola komoya noma isomiso.

Ngokwesibonelo, ezindaweni ezinezinga lomoya elibi, kungcono ukugwema imisebenzi yangaphandle ngezinsuku lapho kuba nokungcola okuningi ngazo noma ukuhlanganyela emisebenzini eyengeza ekungcoliseni, njengokushayela, ukosa inyama, noma ukukhanyisa iziqhumane.

Ngokugcizelela izinyathelo ozithathayo encazelweni yendlu yakho kanye nemanyuwali yendlu yakho, ungazisa abangaba izivakashi ukuthi ukhathalela indawo ezungezile.

Uma unikeza izivakashi izinto ezifana nensipho yezandla ebolayo noma amabhodlela amanzi angasetshenziswa kabusha, khumbula ukuveza lokho endlini yakho futhi.

Ukuhlanganisa lamasu emkhubeni wakho wokubungaza kungasiza ekuthonyeni umhlaba—futhi kuvumele izivakashi ukuba zijabulele impilo njengomuntu wasendaweni. Siyazi ukuthi ukusebenzisa imikhuba engalimazi imvelo kuthatha isikhathi, ngakho-ke sihlanganisa amathuluzi engeziwe ukukusiza njengoba uqhubeka.
