Njengoko ke uluntu olusemhlabeni sele lingapha kwamanani akwaziyo ukuba abese mhlabeni ngokwezidingo zomntu, kubalulekile okokuba kukhuselwe okuninzi okuhlaziyekayo, okugcinekayo emhlabeni. Ezona zinto zintathu zibaluleke kakhulu ngamanzi, umoya kunye nomhlaba.
Umhlaba nguwo othi uhluze elizweni ukuze ubomi bethu buxhaseke emhlabeni esiphila kuwo. Umhlaba uhluza amanzi wethu acoceke kwaye ukuqhubana nezenzo zobomi ujike konke oko kube zi nutrients ezifuneka ebomini ukuze ubani aphile kweli ubomi obude.
Umhlaba nguwo ogcina izityalo, kungako ke usenza isiseko semifuno kwaye uthi uhluze icarbon dioxide ngaphandle ze ukhuphe umoya we oxygen, ngalondlela kukwenza umoya ococekileyo, thina nako konke okuphilayo esithi siwuphefumle. Njengomhlaba noko komhlaba kuthi kuhlaziyeke kuhlala kutshatyalaliswa, kubaluleke kakhulu okokuba siwulondoloze umhlaba, siwukhusele ze sihlale ziwukhathalele maxa onke umhlaba wethu.
Ukuze kondleke amanani oluntu onyukayo, nokuba kuqhubekwa kulinywa ngendlela engenisa imali, amafama alindeleke okokuba aqhubeke ngokuvelisa ukuze ahlale esebenza. Ngaphandle kwamanzi anikeza ngobomi, kubalulekile okokuba imihlaba ikwazi ukujongana nemfuneko zemveliso ehlala inyuka rhoqo. Ukuhlala kuhlolwa umhlaba,noku vavanywa, ukuqinisekisa okokuba inutrients ezaneleyo ziyafumaneka ukuze kukhule izityalo kubalulekile.
Xa isivuno sisininzi entsimini njengoko amafama kuneka abenemveliso ephezulu, kukhona izityalo zidinga ukutya kwazo. Iindawo ebezingalunganga kwezolimo kufuneka imihlaba yazo ilungiswe ngokuthi kongezwe inutrients kunye noko kunga ngxengwanga ukuze kusebenze oko kulwa neenkumbi.
Apho mihlaba uthe waphazamiseka khona, londawo kufuneka ikhusele umhlaba wayo otyebileyo ungatshabalali, lo uncedisana nokukhula, ngokuthi wogqume umhlaba ngokucheba kakuhle okanye ukutyala izityalo ezizakogquma zikhusele isivuno. Umhlaba usiseko apho zonke ezendalo ezisempilweni zithi zokhelwe kuso, okanye zikhulele khona.
