I a tātou e huihui ana i te rākau Kirihimete i tēnei wā, he mea tino makutu kei roto i te harikoa me te whakamarie e puta mai ana i te karapotihia e te hunga e arohaina ana. Ko te wairua Kirihimete he mea e pā ana ki te mahana, te hoatu, me te tohatoha, ā, kāore he wā pai ake hei whakaaroaro ki te koha o te hauora me te oranga. I tēnei Kirihimete, he aha e kore ai e whakaaro ki te hoatu i te koha e tonu ana te hoatu—te wai parakore, te wai ma?

He aha te Hiranga o te Wai i Ngā Wā Katoa

He maha ngā wā ka warewarehia e tātou te wai mā. Ka whakatuwheratia e tātou te pūwero, ā, ka rere mai, engari kua whakaarohia e tātou tōna kounga? He mea nui te wai inu mā, haumaru hoki ki tō tātou hauora, ā, heoi anō, kāore i te ōrite te hanganga o ngā wai katoa. Koinei te wāhi e whai hua ai ngā tātari wai. Ahakoa kei te raru koe i te wai pūwero he reka koretake, kei te hiahia noa rānei koe kia uru atu tō whānau ki te wai hauora rawa atu, ka taea e te tātari wai kounga te hanga i tētahi rerekētanga nui.

He Koha Hakari he Pānga Tuturu

Ahakoa he wā poto pea te harikoa o ngā taonga tākaro me ngā taputapu, ko te hoatu i tētahi taputapu horoi wai hei koha ka puta mai he painga mō te wā roa, ka roa pea i tua atu i te wā hararei. Whakaarohia te ataata i te mata o tō hoa aroha ina wetekina e rātou te koha wai parakore, wai hou, i ia rā, mō ngā marama me ngā tau kei te heke mai. Ahakoa he tauira papa kaunta maeneene, he pūnaha tātari i raro i te totohu rānei, ka whakaatu tēnei koha whai hua i a koe e aro ana ki tōna hauora, ki te taiao, me tōna whakamarie o ia rā.

Whakanuia ki te Wai Kōwhai

Ki te hiahia koe ki te tāpiri i tētahi kanapa ki ō whakanui Kirihimete, ka taea e te tātari wai te āwhina i a koe ki te waihanga i te turanga tino pai mō ngā inu hararei whakahauora. Mai i te wai pīataata ki ngā poraka hukapapa parakore mō ō kokotere, ka reka ia inu me te hou o te ata hotoke. Hei tāpiri, ka pai tō wairua i te mōhio kāore koe e whakarei ake i te reka o ō inu anake, engari e mahi ana hoki koe i tō wāhanga ki te whakaiti i ngā para kirihou me te whakaiti i tō pānga ki te taiao.

He pai mō te taiao, he mahana hoki te ngākau

I tēnei Kirihimete, he aha e kore ai e honoa te koha o te wai ma ki te whakapau kaha ki te oranga tonutanga? Mā te huri ki tētahi taputapu horoi wai, ehara i te mea kei te whakapai ake koe i te kounga o te oranga o te hunga e arohaina ana e koe; kei te whakaiti hoki koe i te hiahia mō ngā pounamu kirihou kotahi te whakamahinga. He nui te pānga ki te taiao, ā, he mea nui ia mahi iti. He koha e whai wāhi ana ki te hauora me te ao? He tino wikitoria tēnā mō te katoa!

Ngā Whakaaro Whakamutunga: He Kirihimete e Kanapa Ana

I te hiahia nui ki te hoko i ngā taputapu hou, i te mea tino pai rānei, he ngāwari te wareware i ngā mea ngāwari hei whakapai ake i te oranga. I tēnei Kirihimete, he aha e kore ai e hoatu he koha wai parakore—he koha whakaaro nui, whai hua, ā, he pai hoki mō te taiao. He whakamaumahara ataahua tēnei, i ētahi wā, ko ngā koha tino whai tikanga ehara i te mea e takaihia ana ki te pepa kanapa, engari ko ngā mea e whakapai ake ana i ō tātou oranga o ia rā i roto i ngā huarahi marino, ngawari. Heoi anō, he aha atu te mea nui atu i te koha o te hauora pai me te ao ma?

Ngā mihi nui ki a koe mō te Kirihimete me te Tau Hou ki tonu i te harikoa me te wai kōwhai!
