0:00:00.315,0:00:02.572
Nilikuwa na miaka 10

0:00:02.572,0:00:04.271
katika tukiwa safari ya kambi na baba yangu

0:00:04.271,0:00:07.031
Katika milima ya Adirondack, eneo la nyika

0:00:07.031,0:00:10.026
Kaskazini mwa jimbo la New York.

0:00:10.026,0:00:11.467
Ilikuwa ni siku nzuri sana.

0:00:11.467,0:00:13.469
Msitu ulikuwa unang'aa.

0:00:13.469,0:00:16.993
Jua lilifanya majani yawake kama kioo,

0:00:16.993,0:00:20.198
na kama si kwa njia tuliyofuata,

0:00:20.198,0:00:21.602
tungejifanya kama

0:00:21.602,0:00:25.164
wanadamu wa kwanza kupita eneo lile.

0:00:25.164,0:00:26.815
tukafika katka eneo letu la kufanyia kambi.

0:00:26.815,0:00:28.782
ilikuwa ni eneo

0:00:28.782,0:00:31.478
linalotazama ziwa zuri sana,

0:00:31.478,0:00:34.174
nilipogundua kitu kibaya.

0:00:34.174,0:00:37.272
nyuma ya eneo hilo kulikuwa na dampo

0:00:37.272,0:00:38.730
kama futi za mraba 40

0:00:38.730,0:00:41.043
likiwa na matufaa yaliyooza

0:00:41.043,0:00:42.790
na makaratasi ya madini ya aluminium

0:00:42.790,0:00:44.539
na vitu vilivyokufa,

0:00:44.539,0:00:47.110
nilishangazwa sana,

0:00:47.110,0:00:50.542
niliingiwa na hasira, na kuchanganyikiwa pia.

0:00:50.542,0:00:52.124
Wapiga kambi wazembe

0:00:52.124,0:00:54.082
walioshindwa kuchukua vile walivyokuja navyo,

0:00:54.082,0:00:57.927
walifikiri ni nani atakayesafisha kama si wao?

0:00:57.927,0:00:59.836
Swali hili lilikaa ndani yangu,

0:00:59.836,0:01:01.803
lilirahisishwa kidogo.

0:01:01.803,0:01:04.179
nani atakayesafisha baada yetu?

0:01:04.179,0:01:05.601
vyovyote utakavyofanya

0:01:05.601,0:01:07.308
au popote utakapotuweka,

0:01:07.308,0:01:09.898
nani takayesafisha baada yetu Instanbul?

0:01:09.898,0:01:12.154
nani takayesafisha baada yetu Rio?

0:01:12.154,0:01:14.683
au Paris na London?

0:01:14.683,0:01:16.255
Hapa New York,

0:01:16.255,0:01:18.847
Idara ya Usafi wa mazingira inasafisha baada yetu,

0:01:18.847,0:01:21.517
kiasi cha tani 11,000 za uchafu

0:01:21.517,0:01:25.879
na tani 2000 za uchafu wa kuchakatwa kila siku.

0:01:25.879,0:01:28.512
nilitaka niwajue kama watu binafsi.

0:01:28.512,0:01:31.358
nilitaka kujua nani anyefanya kazi hii.

0:01:31.358,0:01:33.877
inakuwaje kuvaa sare

0:01:33.877,0:01:35.531
na kuchukua mzigo huo?

0:01:35.531,0:01:38.184
kwa hiyo nikaazisha utafiti nao.

0:01:38.184,0:01:40.723
nilipanda magari yao na nikaanza kuzunguka nao

0:01:40.723,0:01:43.132
nikawahoji watu katika ofisi na maeneo mengine

0:01:43.132,0:01:44.639
kila sehemu ya mji,

0:01:44.639,0:01:46.378
nilijifunza mengi,

0:01:46.378,0:01:48.727
lakini bado nilikuwa mtu wa nje tu.

0:01:48.727,0:01:50.605
nilitaka kujua zaidi.

0:01:50.605,0:01:53.721
kwa hiyo niomba kazi ya usafi wa mazingira.

0:01:53.721,0:01:56.368
sikupanda tu magari tena. bali niliyaendesha.

0:01:56.368,0:01:59.513
nikatumia mafagio ya kwenye magari na nikawa nakusanya barafu.

0:01:59.513,0:02:01.412
ilikuwa ni neema ya ajabu

0:02:01.412,0:02:04.019
na elimu moja ya ajabu sana.

0:02:04.019,0:02:06.171
kila mtu anauliza juu ya harufu.

0:02:06.171,0:02:09.231
ipo,lakini si kama kali unavyofikiri,

0:02:09.231,0:02:10.745
na katika siku ambazo inakuwa kali sana,

0:02:10.745,0:02:13.421
unaizoe mara moja.

0:02:13.421,0:02:16.618
uzito unachukua muda kuuzoea.

0:02:16.618,0:02:18.905
Niliwafahamu watu waliokuwa katika kazi miaka kadhaa

0:02:18.905,0:02:21.490
ambao miili yao ilikuwa inaendelea kuzoea

0:02:21.490,0:02:23.571
mzigo huo katika miili yao

0:02:23.571,0:02:26.550
tani za uchafu kila wiki.

0:02:26.550,0:02:28.734
halafu pia kuna hatari.

0:02:28.734,0:02:31.206
Kulingana na idara ya takwimu za kazi,

0:02:31.206,0:02:33.408
Kazi ya usafi wa mazingira ni moja kati ya kazi 10 za hatari sana

0:02:33.408,0:02:35.300
Katika nchi,

0:02:35.300,0:02:37.051
na nilijifunza kwa nini.

0:02:37.051,0:02:38.472
Uko katika foleni kila siku,

0:02:38.472,0:02:39.433
inakuzunguka

0:02:39.433,0:02:41.317
wanataka kukupita, kwa hiyo

0:02:41.317,0:02:43.367
madereva hawajali.

0:02:43.367,0:02:45.193
hii ni mbaya sana kwa mfanyakazi.

0:02:45.193,0:02:47.353
na uchafu wenyewe umejaa sumu nyingi

0:02:47.353,0:02:49.372
ambao unaruka nje ya gari

0:02:49.372,0:02:51.453
na kusababisha madhara.

0:02:51.453,0:02:54.268
nikajifunza pia uking'ang'ani wa taka

0:02:54.268,0:02:55.579
unapushuka

0:02:55.579,0:02:58.428
na kuuangalia mji kutokea kwenye gari la taka,

0:02:58.428,0:03:00.214
unaelewa kuwa taka

0:03:00.214,0:03:02.831
ni kama nguvu ya asili.

0:03:02.831,0:03:05.287
haiachi kuja.

0:03:05.287,0:03:08.766
na pia ni kama aina ya upumuaji au mzunguko.

0:03:08.766,0:03:11.811
lazima iwe katika mwendo wakati wote.

0:03:11.811,0:03:13.859
halafu tena kuna unyanyapaa.

0:03:13.859,0:03:16.775
unavaa sare , unakuwa kama hauonekani

0:03:16.775,0:03:19.079
mpaka mtu anapokasirishwa na kwa sababu kama

0:03:19.079,0:03:21.394
umezuia magari kwa kutumia gari lako,

0:03:21.394,0:03:24.045
au umepumzika karibu sana na nyumba yake,

0:03:24.045,0:03:27.159
au unakunywa kahawa katika sehemu yao ya kulia chakula,

0:03:27.159,0:03:29.569
watakuja na kukushutumu,

0:03:29.569,0:03:32.831
na kukwambia hawatak kukuona karibu yao.

0:03:32.831,0:03:35.263
unyanyapaa huu naona unashangaza sana,

0:03:35.263,0:03:38.574
kwa sababu naamini kuwa wafanyakazi wa usafi wa mazingira

0:03:38.574,0:03:40.254
ni wafanyakazi muhimu sana

0:03:40.254,0:03:43.278
katika mitaa ya mji, kwa sababu tatu.

0:03:43.278,0:03:46.060
wao ndio walinzi wa kwanza wa afya ya jamii.

0:03:46.060,0:03:48.466
kama hawakusanyi taka

0:03:48.466,0:03:50.740
kwa ufanisi na usahihi kila siku,

0:03:50.740,0:03:53.451
zinaanza kutoka katika sehemu zilizotunzwa

0:03:53.451,0:03:57.177
na madhara yake yanatutishia wote

0:03:57.177,0:03:58.351
katika ya halisi kabisa.

0:03:58.351,0:04:01.322
magonjwa tuliyoyadhibiti kwa miaka mingi

0:04:01.322,0:04:04.228
yanaibuka tena na kutudhuru.

0:04:04.228,0:04:05.900
Uchumi unahitaji wanyakazi hawa.

0:04:05.900,0:04:08.826
Kama hatuwezi kutupa vitu vya zamani,

0:04:08.826,0:04:10.716
hakuwezi kukawa na nafasi ya vitu vipya,

0:04:10.716,0:04:12.785
kwa hiyo injini za uchumi

0:04:12.785,0:04:15.714
zinashindwa kuendelea kwa kuwa hakuna matumizi

0:04:15.714,0:04:19.778
Sipigii debe ubepari,lakini najaribu kuonyesha uhusiano uliopo.

0:04:19.778,0:04:21.766
Lakini pia kuna kile nachoita

0:04:21.766,0:04:25.978
na mwendo wa wastani wetu

0:04:25.978,0:04:27.027
Na hii namaanisha

0:04:27.027,0:04:29.279
ni haraka kiasi gani tumezoea kwenda

0:04:29.279,0:04:31.411
katika siku hizi za sasa.

0:04:31.411,0:04:36.755
Hatujali ,marekebisho,safi

0:04:36.755,0:04:39.392
tulichochukua katika kikombe cha kahawa,

0:04:39.392,0:04:40.877
chupa yetu ya maji.

0:04:40.877,0:04:43.556
Tunatumia,tunatupa,tunazisahau,

0:04:43.556,0:04:45.336
Kwa sababu tunajua kuna wafanyakazi

0:04:45.336,0:04:48.356
upande wa pili wataochukua wote.

0:04:48.356,0:04:50.803
Sasa nataka nitoe mapendekezo

0:04:50.803,0:04:55.317
ya kufikiria kuhusu usafi ambayo

0:04:55.317,0:04:57.791
yatapunguza unyanyapaa

0:04:57.791,0:05:00.022
na kuwaingiza katika mazungumzo haya

0:05:00.022,0:05:05.612
ya jinsi ya kuwa na mji unaokua kistaarabu.

0:05:05.612,0:05:09.773
Kazi yao ni ile inayojirudia rudia.

0:05:09.773,0:05:12.234
wako mitaani kila siku,

0:05:12.234,0:05:14.295
Wakiwa na sare zao katika miji mingi

0:05:14.295,0:05:16.164
Unajua wakati gani wa kuwategemea.

0:05:16.164,0:05:20.087
Kazi yao inasabisha sisi pia tufanye kazi.

0:05:20.087,0:05:22.878
Ni kama uhakikisho

0:05:22.878,0:05:24.615
Ambao unaendelea

0:05:24.615,0:05:26.605
kutufanya tuwe salama,

0:05:26.605,0:05:29.242
mbali na uchafu wetu wenyewe

0:05:29.242,0:05:32.500
na hali lazima iendelezwe kila wakati

0:05:32.500,0:05:34.133
bila kujali chochote.

0:05:34.133,0:05:37.857
Siku ya Septemba 11, 2001,

0:05:37.857,0:05:41.144
Na nilisikia muungurumo wa gari la usafi mtaani,

0:05:41.144,0:05:43.456
nikamchukua mwanangu mchanga na kukimbilia chini

0:05:43.456,0:05:46.298
kulikuwa na mtu ambaye alikuwa anachakata karatasi

0:05:46.298,0:05:48.480
kama afanyavyo kila Jumatano.

0:05:48.480,0:05:50.900
Na nikawa najaribu kumshukuru kwa kazi yake

0:05:50.900,0:05:53.025
katika siku hii,

0:05:53.025,0:05:55.626
lakini nikaanza kulia.

0:05:55.626,0:05:57.310
akaniangalia,

0:05:57.310,0:06:00.734
akatingisha kichwa,akisema,

0:06:00.734,0:06:03.612
"Tutakuwa salama.

0:06:03.612,0:06:06.253
"Tutakuwa salama."

0:06:06.253,0:06:07.606
Ilikuwa ni baadae nilipoanza

0:06:07.606,0:06:08.986
utafiti wangu wa usafi wa mazingira,

0:06:08.986,0:06:10.400
nikakutana na mtu yule tena.

0:06:10.400,0:06:13.317
Jina lake ni Paulie,tulifanya kazi pamoja mara nyingi,

0:06:13.317,0:06:15.140
tulikuwa marafiki wazuri.

0:06:15.140,0:06:17.967
Nataka kuamini Paulie alikuwa sahihi.

0:06:17.967,0:06:20.169
Kwamba tutakuwa salama.

0:06:20.169,0:06:22.146
lakini katika jitahidi zetu za kutengeneza

0:06:22.146,0:06:25.187
jinsi kama viumbe tutakavyoendelea kuishi katika dunia hii,

0:06:25.187,0:06:28.482
lazima tuunganishe na kuangalia

0:06:28.482,0:06:32.275
gharama zote, ikiwemo gharama

0:06:32.275,0:06:33.779
za kazi.

0:06:33.779,0:06:36.580
pia tutakuwa na taarifa

0:06:36.580,0:06:38.798
za kuwafikia watu wanaofanya kazi hizo

0:06:38.798,0:06:40.643
na kupata utaalam wao

0:06:40.643,0:06:42.396
jinsi tunavyofikiri kuhusu,

0:06:42.396,0:06:45.646
kutengeneza mifumo endelevu

0:06:45.646,0:06:49.125
ambayo inatuchukua kutoka katika uchakataji,

0:06:49.125,0:06:51.710
ambao ni mafanikio makubwa katika miaka 40,

0:06:51.710,0:06:54.948
Katika nchi yote ya Marekani, na nchi mbalimbali duniani kote,

0:06:54.948,0:06:57.750
na kutupeleka juu zaidi

0:06:57.750,0:07:00.636
ambako tutaangalia aina nyingine za uchafu

0:07:00.636,0:07:02.121
ambazo zinaweza zikapunguzwa

0:07:02.121,0:07:04.854
kutoka viwandani.

0:07:04.854,0:07:08.859
uchafu katika miji, jinsi tunavyofikiri tunapoongelea uchafu,

0:07:08.859,0:07:12.857
unakaribia asilimia tatu ya uchafu wote katika taifa

0:07:12.857,0:07:15.244
ni takwimu za kushangaza.

0:07:15.244,0:07:17.722
katika siku zako,

0:07:17.722,0:07:19.248
katika maisha yako,

0:07:19.248,0:07:22.276
utakapomwona mtu ambaye kazi yake ni

0:07:22.276,0:07:25.419
kufanya usafi,

0:07:25.419,0:07:27.908
chukua muda kuwatambua.

0:07:27.908,0:07:32.500
chukua muda wako kuwashukuru.

0:07:32.500,0:07:35.854
(Makofi)
