Ngaba uyisebenzisile ingca yeplastiki namhlanje? Kukho ithuba elihle onalo, nokuba ulinikwe kwindawo yokutyela yokutya okukhawulezayo, enye oyicelile ebharini, okanye enye oyikhuphileyo ekhaya. Zikho phantse kuyo yonke indawo-ngakumbi eMelika- kwaye ziye zabakhona ebomini bethu ngesiqingatha senkulungwane okanye ukuze zibekho.
Ukuqwalaselwa kweendaba kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, nangona kunjalo, kukhanyisile ngokukhanya kwezi zixhobo ziselwayo. Ngaphandle kokuba intloko yakho ibambekile esantini, kukho ithuba elihle lokuba uve into engalunganga malunga ne-straws kutshanje- kwaye umsinga uqala ukubachasa. Kodwa yintoni ingxaki ngeendiza zeplastiki? Yintoni ebenza bangcole kangaka ezingqondweni zengqondo-yendalo? Kutheni le nto kufanelekile ukuba ukhathalele ukuba yeyiphi impembelelo kwezi zinto zincinci zingenabungozi emhlabeni? Kwaye kutheni sisafuna zona?
Ziyinkcitho
Into yokuqala yokwazi malunga neeplastiki zokusela yile: sisebenzisa isihogo kuninzi lwazo. Amabango aqokelelweyo aqhelekileyo abantu baseMelika basebenzisa ukuya kwizigidi ezingama-500 zeeplastikhi zemihla ngemihla. Ukuba uyazibuza ukuba ingaba injani, cinga ngale nto: la manani eendiza anokugcwalisa ngaphezulu kwe-127 yeebhasi zesikolo yonke imihla, ngokwe Umjikelo we-Eco . Iphezulu malunga ne-1.6 ye-straw yaseMelika, ngosuku-okuthetha ukuba, ngokusekwe koku, umntu ngamnye e-United States uya kusebenzisa malunga ne-38,000 ye-straws ebomini babo.
Ngoku, eli nani kuye kwaphikiswa . Ngokwenene kwavela kuphando olwenziwe ngumntu oneminyaka eli-9 ubudala ogama lingu-A UMilo Cress , Oqhube uphando lwefowuni lwabenzi abathathu bomququ ngeprojekthi yasekhaya. Ngelixa kungekho mntu ukwazileyo ukubonisa inani elingalunganga, khange kuqinisekiswe ngokusesikweni, nokuba. Oko akuthethi ukuba inani lezigidi ezingama-500 liphezulu kakhulu, nangona- amanye amaqela okusingqongileyo akholelwa oko ukuba abenzi beendiza uMilo awathetha nabo babegcina ukutya, kwaye elona nani liphezulu lide-ngeli xesha Olunye uphando icebisa ukuba inani linokuhla.
Baphela kwindawo ebi kakhulu onokuyicinga
Imifanekiso kaGetty Ke siyifumene into yokuba, nokuba leliphi inani elichanekileyo, thina bantu sisebenzisa istraws seplastikhi yonke imihla. Kodwa kwenzeka ntoni xa sigqibile ngabo? Eyona nto ibuhlungu kukuba uninzi olungenakuphepheka luphela luphoswa elwandle. Eyona nto yenza izinto zibe mbi ngakumbi kukuba, kwiindawo ezininzi, Iindiza zeplastiki azinakuphinda zisebenze kwakhona . Ulwandle aluyindawo efanelekileyo kubo, nokuba: kungathatha ukuya kuma-200 eminyaka ukuba umququ weplastiki ubole, kwaye, kuba zenziwe ngeplastikhi, akunakwenzeka ukuba ziwe ngokupheleleyo. Zisisigxina.
Ngokwophando olwenziwe liQonga lezoQoqosho leHlabathi , ukuba siyaqhubeka nokusebenzisa iplastikhi ngezinga esikulo, ulwandle luza kuba neetoni zeplastikhi kwitoni ezintathu zentlanzi ngowama-2025, kwaye, ngowama-2050, kuyakubakho iplastiki eninzi ngokobunzima elwandle kunokuba kukho iintlanzi. Impembelelo yoku enayo kwindalo echuma ngaphakathi nangakujikeleze ulwandle ayinanto imbi ngoku.
ungazitshisa izinja ezishushu
Bayabulala
Ngokwedatha ethobele Inkqubo ye-Ocean Conservancy ye-TIDES, iindiza kunye nee-stirrers zenza i-3.15 yeepesenti yazo zonke inkunkuma yolwandle abaziqokeleleyo bazisusa elwandle (nto leyo ibenza ukuba ibe zezesibhozo izinto ezifunyenweyo, hayi kude kakhulu emva kweebhotile zeplastikhi, iingxowa zokutya kunye neebhotile zecuba).
Ubomi bamanzi, njengoko unokulindela, busemngciphekweni omkhulu ngenxa yobuninzi beplastiki elahlwa elwandle minyaka le. Izilwanyana zingaginya iindiza ngengozi okanye ngabom, ezinokuthi emva koko zibenzakalise okanye zibenzakalise. Kucingelwa oko ngaphezu kwesigidi esinye seentaka zolwandle kwaye izilwanyana zaselwandle ezingama-100,000 ziyafa minyaka le ngenxa yokutya iplastiki. I-Straws, ngenxa yemilo nobungakanani bayo, inokuba ingunobangela wepesenti yabo babhubhileyo. Kwaye khumbula - iindiza azisoze zathobe, oko kuthetha ukuba zonke ezishiyekileyo elwandle zinokuba sisoyikiso nakweyiphi na nakubo bonke ubomi elwandle. Ukulahlwa kolwandle asiyongxaki ekufuphi; yintlekele eqhubekayo.
Azinakuphinda zisebenze kwakhona
Kulungile, ke iindiza zimbi kwindalo esingqongileyo. Kwaye zininzi zazo. Kwaye ukubalahla elwandle kubi. Kodwa ubuyazi lonto, akunjalo? Ukuba awukwazanga ukuba uqikelele oko. Umbuzo olula uhleli, nangona kunjalo: kutheni ungabaphindisi nje?
Ewe, kuba awukwazi. Ngapha koko, ukuba uzama ukuphinda uzenze kwakhona uya kwenza ingozi engaphezulu kunokulunga. Uninzi lweendiza zeplastiki zilula kakhulu kangangokuba, xa zifika kwiziko lokurisayikilisha, ziyehla ngokuthe ngqo kwizikrini zokuhlela uze udibanise nezinye izinto ezincinci ukwahlulahlula. Okona kungcono, iindiza ziya kulahlwa njengayo nayiphi na inkunkuma. Okona kubi, baya kungcolisa umthwalo wokurisayikilisha kwaye babangele zonke ezinye iingxaki.
Nantsi inyani yebhonasi yakho, nayo: Ukuba ungcolisa inkunkuma- ngakumbi kwimingxunya yesaqhwithi okanye phantsi kweedatha - usika umntu ophakathi kwaye ulahla umququ ngqo elwandle. Emva kwakho konke, ucinga ukuba abo iidreyini kunye neegatha ukukhokela?
Ziyityhefu
Imifanekiso kaGetty Ayisiyondawo nje oyonakalisayo ukuba usebenzisa iindiza zeplastiki. Kukho konke ukubulawa kweziphumo ezinobungozi abanokuba nazo emzimbeni wakho, nazo. Iiplastikhi zilunge kakhulu ekufunxeni imichiza kunye neetyhefu kuyo nayiphi na into enxibelelana nayo, njengePCB kunye neDDT . Oku kubi ngokwaneleyo kubomi baselwandle- njengezilwanyana zitya iindiza, ezi tyhefu zingena kwityathanga lokutya kwaye zibangele izicwili ezinamanqatha emizimbeni yezilwanyana- kodwa azilunganga ncam kuthi.
Ayisiyiyo loo nto kuphela, kodwa uninzi lweendiza zenziwe nge-polypropylene, into ebithathwa njengekhuselekileyo amashumi eminyaka kodwa ngoku iyaziwa ukuba ibangela imiba yezempilo ebantwini: Iikhemikhali zinokuvuza kwi-polypropylene phantsi koxinzelelo olukhulu lwe-thermal kwaye zibe nefuthe emzimbeni ofanayo nalowo ubangelwe yi-bisphenol-A (BPA), into ngoku ivaliwe Ukusetyenziselwa iinjongo ezininzi. Ngokunikwa ukhetho phakathi kokubeka iplastiki emlonyeni wakho kunye nokubeka, yithi, iphepha okanye uqalo phaya- uyafuna ukuyiphepha iplastiki.
Hayi, awakhuseli amazinyo akho
Abantu abaninzi bayakuthethelela ukusebenzisa kwabo iindiza ngokuthi banako ukuthintela amabala kunye nokonakala kwamazinyo, kuba ukuzisebenzisa kuthetha ukuba ulwelo-ngakumbi i-asidi kunye neziselo ezihlwahlwazayo-zidlula amazinyo kwaye ziye ngqo emqaleni. Ingxaki yile, ayiyonyani ngokupheleleyo.
NgokukaGqirha uMark Burhenne , 'Xa usela umququ, ubeka incam yawo phakathi kwemilebe yakho naphambi kwamazinyo, ngenxa yoko iziphumo ezonakalisayo zesoda ezineswekile zisaza kulimaza amazinyo akho. Kwabo bantu babambe umququ phakathi kwamazinyo abo, umva wamazinyo usabonakala. Gcina ukhumbula ukuba ulwimi luhlala ludibana namazinyo, ke ukuba nayiphi na isoda okanye ikofu ichukumisa ulwimi lwakho, iya kufumana amazinyo akho. Ukuba ungcamle isiselo, amazinyo aveziwe. '
Ekuphela kwendlela yokuthintela ukonakala kwamazinyo akho kukubeka isiphelo sendiza emva kolwimi ukuze ulwelo luye ngqo ezantsi emqaleni. Yeyiphi, masinyaniseke, ayivakali imnandi ngakumbi. UBurhenne uyaqaphela ukuba ayingabo bonke oogqirha bamazinyo abavumayo naye kweli nqaku, kodwa ngaba uyafuna ukubeka emngciphekweni amazinyo akho ukuze ufumanise?
Ngaba amaqanda amhlophe asempilweni
Zibangela imibimbi
Nangona kunokubonakala ngathi yinto encinci yokucinezelwa kweemfudu kuneemfudu ezixineneyo elwandle okanye ityhefu kunye neekhemikhali ziyikhulula kancinci indlela emzimbeni wakho, kuyinyani ukuba ukusela kwiingcongolo kunokuba nefuthe elibi kulusu lwakho. Ngokuka gqirha wesikhumba uGqirha Rebecca Baxt , Ukusela rhoqo kwi-straw kungabangela ukuba abantu bahlambe imilebe yabo kwaye benze imibimbi ngenxa yokuhamba kwemisipha okuphindaphindayo. Nangona ugxa wakhe, uGqr Heather Woolery-Lloyd, engabeki tyala ngokupheleleyo ngemibimbi yomlomo, kodwa esithi ukuphindaphinda umlomo njengaleyo ibangelwa kukusela ngeendiza kungonyusa umngcipheko wokubonakala kwawo.
Isithako se-3 ibhotolo yamandongomane iqabaka
Ngalo lonke ixesha kwithuba elithile akuyi kukwenza monakalo, ukuthetha ngesikhumba, kodwa ukuba ungumsebenzisi oqhelekileyo we-straw-ngokungathi uyatshaya-kukho ithuba elihle lokuba ubona imibimbi eyongezelelweyo esipilini ngamanye amaxesha kungekudala. Kwakhona, Ufudo.
Baza kukunika irhasi
Wonke umntu uyazi ukuba ukusela iziselo ezihlwahlwazayo ingakunika irhasi kwaye ibangele ukuqunjelwa, kodwa yintoni into encinci eyaziwayo kukuba indlela osela ngayo inokuba yingxaki. Ukusela ngomququ kukubangela ukuba uginye umoya ongaphezulu kunalowo ufuna, okoko uginya into ebanjiwe kwinxalenye ephezulu yomququ . Umoya ongaphezulu kwesisu sakho, ngokuqinisekileyo uya kukhokelela kwirhasi. Irhasi, ngokwendalo, ikhokelela ekuqunjweni. Oku kuthetha ukuba nokuba awuseli iziselo zokuphembelela irhasi, usengozini yokwakha nje ngokusela ngeendiza.
Ukuba ufuna ukunciphisa ukudumba okanye i-gassiness, siyakucebisa ukuba unamathele kusela ngokuthe ngqo kwiglasi- kwaye unamathele kwiziselo ezingezizo zekhaboni ngelixa ulapho. Ungazukuvela ushumayela okanye nantoni na, kodwa ezo fizzy iziselo ezibandayo zinokubangela nje umonakalo omkhulu njengamaququ.
Banokukwenzakalisa
Ewe, kunjalo: ngaphezulu kwayo yonke enye into, ukusela imicu yokusela kunokukubeka emngciphekweni wokulimala kakhulu, nawe. Kwenye indawo ejikeleze abantu abayi-1,400 zithunyelwa kwigumbi likaxakeka minyaka le ngenxa yokonzakala okugcinwe kukusetyenziswa gwenxa kweendiza. Uninzi lwezi ntlekele lubandakanya abantwana abancinci ukwenza imilomo yabo, ukonakalisa amehlo abo, okanye ukufaka ezindlebeni okanye empumlweni. Akunabo nje abantwana, kunjalo-abantu abadala nabo banomdla wokuzikhangela kwiso okanye ukufumana umququ unamathele empumlweni.
Ngelishwa, oku kunokuba yingxaki ngakumbi ngemijelo efanelekileyo yendalo. Ngo-2016, i-Starbucks yaphoqeleka ukuba khumbula Inani leendiza zensimbi ezingenasici ngenxa yeengxelo zokonzakala kokuqhekeka kwabantwana. Okwangoku, ukuba unokukhetha phakathi kweendiza ezikrazula umlomo wakho kunye nemicu ekrazula umlomo wakho kodwa unomdla wokubulala ihlengethwa- ewe, siyayazi into esinokuyikhetha.
Ziyimfuneko
Ihlabathi esinokuthi sikuphelise ukusetyenziswa kweendiza zeplastiki, ekuboneni kokuqala, lihlabathi elifanelekileyo ngokwenene. Kodwa inyani kukuba kwabanye abantu, akunakwenzeka ukuba bayeke ukuzisebenzisa ngokupheleleyo. Abantu abaninzi abakhubazekileyo thembela iindiza zeplastiki (kunye nezinye izinto ezinengxaki yokusingqongileyo, ezinje ngokusula kosana) ukuze baphile ubomi babo. Ukuba awukwazi ukubamba indebe okanye iglasi, istraw asisiyonto iphambili- sisidingo. Kwaye, kwiimeko ezininzi, iindiza ezenziwe ngoqalo, iglasi, isinyithi okanye iphepha azifanelekanga kwaphela kwiimfuno zomntu okhubazekileyo. Ngelishwa, uvakalelo kwindalo esingqongileyo, ngeendlela ezininzi, lilungelo.
Ukuba uyakwazi ukwenza ngaphandle kweendiza zeplastiki, nangona kunjalo, awusoze ufumane ixesha elibi lokuzikhupha ebomini bakho. Amathuba kukuba, awuyi kubakhumbula kakhulu xa bemkile-iimpembelelo zabo kubomi bakho zinqabile. Impembelelo yabo kwindalo esingqongileyo, kwimpilo yakho, nakubomi bezilwanyana emhlabeni wonke, nangona kunjalo, ayisiyiyo kwaphela.
