Iqhawe lokutya laseMelika 2019: igumbi likaRebheka
Ngubani yena: UMlawuli wezeNdalo weHlabathi, i-Starbucks
Yintoni ayenzayo: Ukugcina izitro zeplastiki kwiindawo zokulahla inkunkuma
Ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yoo-1990, uRebecca Zimmer washiya umsebenzi olungileyo e-Starbucks ukulandela ukuthanda kwakhe ukufota. Wachitha iminyaka emihlanu eAfrika, esebenza ubukhulu becala kwiilali ezihlala abantu abaneqhenqa. Into awabuya nayo ekhaya, ngaphandle kwepotfoliyo enempembelelo, yayiluthando olutsha lolondolozo. Kwezo lali, wayeqala ngqa ukujamelana nobuncwane obulinganiselweyo. 'Uqalisa ukuqonda indlela ithontsi ngalinye lamanzi elingcwele ngayo,' utsho. 'Xa ndibuyela kwi-Starbucks kwi-2004, ndandigxininise ngokwenene kwiindlela uvakalelo lwendalo olunokuthi ludlale kwinqanaba lehlabathi.'
Ukubuyela eSeattle, uZimmer wazakhela eyakhe indlela yokuphila ezinzileyo: uqhuba ihybrid; umntu otya imifuno; kwaye iqinisekisa ukuba yonke intwana yekofu enenitrogen etyebileyo evela kuye (ngaphandle kwegridi) ushicilelo lwesiFrentshi uya ngqo kuye. umgquba wegadi . Kwaye kwa-Starbucks, nguye oqhuba iiprojekthi ezininzi zolondolozo-kubandakanya ukuzibophelela kwenkampani yakutshanje ukwakha zonke iivenkile ezintsha ukuya kwimigangatho ye-LEED (isiqinisekiso esinobuhlobo nokusingqongileyo, esonga amandla) kunye nokubuyisela kwakhona ezo zikhoyo ukuze ziqhube kwimithombo yamandla avuselelekayo kunye nokusetyenziswa. iindlela zokuhlamba izitya eziya kuncitshiswa ngama-30 ekhulwini kusetyenziso lwamanzi kwiivenkile ze-Starbucks ngo-2025.
Kodwa eyona nto iphawuleka kakhulu kuxa uZimmer ethatha ingxaki yokukhula kweendiza zeplastiki . KuJulayi ophelileyo, i-Starbucks ibhengeze ukuba iza kuzikhupha kwiivenkile zayo kwihlabathi liphela ngo-2020, akukho nto incinci iphumeleleyo xa kuthathelwa ingqalelo abantu baseMelika kuphela abaphosa ngaphezulu kwe-500 yezigidi zeendiza yonke imihla. Ngelixa ezininzi zenziwe nge-polypropylene enokuphinda zisetyenziswe, zikhaphukhaphu kakhulu kwaye zincinci ukuba zingabanjwa ngoomatshini bokuhlela-ukuze baphelele kwiindawo zethu zokulahla inkunkuma kunye neelwandle. Intshukumo ye-Starbucks iya kugcina malunga ne-1 yebhiliyoni yeendiza ngonyaka ukuba ichaphazele iplanethi yethu. Kwindawo yazo: izivalo ezitsha ezinokuselwa ezilungiselelwe iziselo zayo ezibandayo, ezinokuphinda zisetyenziswe kwaye zineepesenti ezisi-9 zeplastiki engaphantsi kunesiciko semveli kunye neendiza. Kwaye eso sisiqalo kuphela, utsho uZimmer: 'Iindiza zimela iphulo lokuqala lokujongana neeplastiki zethu. Siyavuya ngayo. Kodwa linyathelo nje lokuqala kwiinzame zehlabathi.'
Iinyani ezi-3 ezipholileyo malunga neZimmer
- URebecca unesikipa esithi 'Akukho sitroyi, i-vodka eninzi.'
- Unesidanga kuncwadi lwesiFrentshi.
- Amaqhawe akhe okutya: 'Ndinomdla nguDkt. Valter Longo kunye nesayensi emva kwesondlo esisekelwe kwizityalo, ukuzila ukutya, kunye negalelo layo lokuphila ixesha elide kunye neendlela zokuphila ezinempilo. Kutshanje ndifumene umpheki uChloe Coscarelli, owenza ukutya kwevegan kube mnandi kwaye kumnandi!'
