Te Pānga o te Whakamahere i te Heru Matihaki: Ko Te Waiwhakatetanga?

I mua nei, he whiwhi whenua nui noa iho te whakaaro a ngā tangata e mohio ana kia pai te whakatū whenua ākiaki hei noho i raro i ō rātou marae. He whiwhi whenua kiwikiwi tonu ā te tau, kāore i taea te whakawehenga me te tohe pūmau, pērā i te whenua matihiko. He pai noa iho te whenua ākiaki mō ō tātou wāhi noho? Ka tirohia nei i runga i te nui o ngā whakamomori kua puta mai i te whakatū o te whenua ākiaki, ā, he pai tēnei ko te whakatū hoki hei whakaute i ō tātou whare me ō tātou pākura?

He Pai Tō te Whenua Hanga Kiwikiwi i te Taiao?

Nui rawa te āhua me te iti iho tonu ngā mahere whakahaere, e ai ki te makawe rākau, he tūtohu kore, he wāhi kore. E āhei ana ia ki te kitea nui, inā kētonu i te marae rākau rānei rānei. Heoi, ko te nohohanga o te makawe rākau ka noho mai i ngā raraunga pērā i te polietilēne, e whakatupu mai ana i te rīpeka, he wāhi kore e taea te whakahoki. Ko te hanga i te makawe rākau kei roto i ngā hua whakamamae, me te whakaititia i ngā rauemi e hia顿ai ana te whenua mō āpōpō. Ko te tuhinga atu, ko te hanga i ngā mea hokihoki nei ka tae atu i ngā momo huringa whakahirahira ki runga i te wai rānei, ki te hāpori rānei, e āheke ana i te taiao me ōna kararehe.

Ā, Ko ngā Huringa Nui e Pā Ana ki te Makawe Whakahirahira

Ki te mea kaore he mōhiotia nui ki te aha, e taea ana te rereti whenua me te whakakore i te whakamahinga o ngā āhua hē hou hei whakarite i ngā pūrehe me ngā uku, engari e ai ki te kiko rereke, ka puta ngā uiui matua e pa ana i te taiao. He nui ngā take nei i roto i tētahi momo kino nui, ko te mea kaore te makawe pūrehe e taea te whaiwhai i te wā e tae ana i te pūrehe. Ki te kore te tangata e whakamahia ana ki te kawe atu i a ia, ka kitea e ia te ara ki ngā wāhi whakaputu, kei reira tonu i te wā e takoto ana i runga i ngā wāhi whakaputu, e whai ana i te wā e rua rau tau ana kia taea te whaiwhai! Kia taea noa iho e ratou te whakapakiri i ngā take nui o te rama me te kaihoka i roto i te rangi, i roto i te wai, me te whenua, e whakarerekē ana i te mana o ō mātau oneone. Ko tētahi take anō he mea nui rawa ko te mahi kai o ngā manu me ētahi atu kararehe, ka mate i te whakaaro he kai tērā i whakatakotoria e koe ki runga i tō marae. Ko tēnei he tino ākina mo ēnā kararehe, ka whakarerekē i te kai matua i whakangungu ai i ō mātau oneone.

Whakaaro mai ki ngā Pūtake Nui a Muri a te Makawe Pūrehe

Ki te mea nei tātou kia whakamuri ake te whakatūwhera o te rereti whakamarumaru ki ngā whare ā-tātou anō hoki ki ngā wāhi whakaaetanga, pērā i ngā pātaka me ngā tāngata whenua, me whakaaro tātou mēnā e hiahia ana tātou ki te noho i ngā pūtake matua o te take. Ahakoa ka noho tēnei rereti whakamarumaru i roto i ētahi wā, ka kitea he pai ranei, nā tēnā kaore i te hirango i runga i te whakahaere, ko tōna āhuatanga whakarohepotia ki te taiao e whai tonu nei mō ētahi wharewhenua. Ka ngaro te kotahi o ngā momo hunga ora, nā te whakamahinga nui i ngā hua hangarara, pērā i te rereti, ki roto i ā tātou wāhi waenganui, ka whakapae he pūngao kino ki ngā wāhi noho whenua e noho ai ngā rerenga rākau me ngā kararehe. Arā, ka heke iho te nui o ngā momo rākau me ngā kararehe e noho ana i te ao tūroa, nā tātou te whakamahinga o te rereti whakamarumaru. Nā reira, i muri i te wā, ka nui ake te kino o te whakamahinga o te rereti whakamarumaru i runga i ngā pai mō te wā iti.

Kei te Pai te Rereti Whakamarumaru hei Whakautu mo te Rereti Tūroa?

Ka kitea e ētahi atu he mea pai te mahi o te reretū whakamarumaru mō te taiao, inā e hiahiatia ana te reretū tūhononga i te wai, i ngā rorohiko hei ora, me te whakamahinga o ngā pūhoro hei whakarite i a ia. Tērā pea, e tiaki ana te reretū korehua i te wai, ā, e whakaora ana i a tātou ki te kawe i ngā rongoā hirere, engari kaua e wareware nei i te whanonga kino kei te taiao. Ko te whakamahinga i ngā momo hanganga whenua whai take, pēnei i ngā planaetanga matua e mahi ana i runga i te hāpori ā-wāhi, me ngā matāpuke e taea ai te wai o te huarere ki roto i te whenua, he whakapai kaipupuri i runga i te reretū korehua.

He Pātai Whānui I Nga Paewhenua Me Nga Huarahi ngahere uwhi pakihiwi  

I te wāhi whakamutunga, ko ngā pūtake oiorangi o te whakamahi i te makawe kiriata e hiahia ana ki te rahi me kaore e taea te whakamuri. Heoi, pērā i te tirohanga iti mō te whakahaere me te iti ake i ngā wai i ngā mea kitea, ko ngā painga o te makawe kiriata kei roto ia he taonga matua, ā, he nui ngā pānga mō ngā wā e whai ake nei; he pānga nui e hiahiatia ana hei whakaaro mō te whakahē i te whakamahi i te one kiriata hei pai fai ai mō te whenua. Ki te kaitiaki mātou o tō tātou nohoanga, me whakarite mātou i ēnei mahi me pēhea ka whakaaturia tēnei i te ao e noho nei i roto. Me rapu mātou i ngā whakaaetanga hou e āwhina ana i te kotahitanga o ngā momo hunga ora me te āwhina i a mātou ki te tiaki i ō mātou taonga tahuhu.

I te wā tuatahi, niho whenua reretaka he whiwhinga nui kia whakamana te whakaahua rahi me te mahi i ngā tūtohu tika e tautoko ana i te oranga o tōna whenua. Kōrero ā-mihini tēnei mō te wāhanga taiao i tenei rā, ā, ko ngā whakatikatika e taea ana ki runga i te hanga whenua pūmau hei whakamutu i ngā huinga e paunga i te whenua, pērā i te marae aroha. Engari, he waihangatanga iti mō ia tangata: ngā huringa kaipuke me te tiaki i Papatūānuku hei nohoanga kitea rawa atu me te oranga pai mo matou katoa — kia taea e matou te haere me te kite i ngā wā pai kei mua.
