Siphila kwihlabathi elixineneyo. Okwangoku singaphezulu kwe-7 yezigidigidi zabantu kwiplanethi iphela, kwaye siyabala. Ngamnye wethu, ukusuka ekuzalweni ukuya ekufeni, ufuna ukujongana neemfuno zethu, into enengqiqo ngokupheleleyo, kodwa kwenzeka ntoni xa sisebenzisa ubutyebi bendalo ngokungakhathaliyo kwaye singakhathali noMhlaba?
Utshintsho lwemozulu, ngelixa sisisiqhelo sendalo, siyenza mandundu. Ukupheliswa kwamahlathi, ukusetyenziswa kwezibaso, ukungcoliseka kweelwandle, imilambo kunye nomoya esiwuphefumlayo, kuzinzisa umoya. Ukuba sifuna ukuyiyeka, kufuneka sazi ukuba ngawaphi awona manyathelo asebenzayo kwaye yile nto kanye uye waphanda iYunivesithi yaseLund (eSweden). Phakathi kwabo kukho ukuba nabantwana abambalwa, nangona ingenguye yedwa.
Abaphandi beze nefomula yabo eya kusindisa ubuntu: ukuba nabantwana abambalwa, ukunqanda ukuhamba ngenqwelomoya, ukungasebenzisi moto nokuba ngumntu otya inyama. Ngala manyathelo, la mazwe abizwa ngokuba "liLizwe Lokuqala" anokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwegesi yendlu eluhlaza, ngokusekwe kuhlalutyo olupheleleyo lwamaxwebhu kunye neengxelo zikarhulumente.
Ke, baye bakwazi ukufumanisa ukuba ukunxiba Ukutya imifuno ingasivumela ukuba sigcine I-0,8 itoni yekharbon diokside ngonyaka; Sukusebenzisa imoto iitoni ezi-2,4, kwaye Ungasebenzisi inqwelomoya kangange-1,6 yeetoni ze-CO2 ngohambo. Kodwa eyona nto ibalulekileyo yile ukungabinabantwana abaninzi kangaka: ngalo mlinganiso, ukukhutshwa kwe-CO2 kuya kuncipha nge Iitoni ezingama-58,6 ngonyaka kwi-avareji. Olu lubalo olubala ukukhutshwa konyana kunye nenzala yakhe.
La ngamanyathelo esinokungawathandi kakhulu, kodwa umbhali-mbhali u-Kimbery Nicholas uthe "asinakho ukulihoya ifuthe lemozulu elenziwa yindlela yethu yokuphila. Ngokwam, ndikufumene kulungile ukwenza uninzi lolu tshintsho. Kubantu abancinci abaseta iipateni zobomi, njengoko ngoku besazi ukuba zeziphi iindlela ezinokuba nefuthe elikhulu.
