Sithanda amathoyizi aklanywe kahle lapha eSolidSmack kodwa noma kunjalo, kungenzeka ukuthi ucabanga ukuthi, "Le ufudu nje lweplastiki". Awu, kholwa noma ungakukholwa lokhu, ufudu lweplastikhi lolu luyinto yokudlala… futhi luyisikhumbuzo esimnyama, esesabekayo, nesinecala kuyo yonke impilo yasolwandle eyabulawa ngokulahlwa kwemfucuza okungenangqondo. Kepha ngaphezu kwalokho, kuguqula imfucuza ibe yinto yokudlala yofudu ethandekayo yengane noma iqoqo lakho lezikhumbuzo zofudu.
Kushukunyiswe inani lokufa kwezilwane okubangelwe yimfucuza yolwandle kanye nombono wokuthi, ngo-2050, kungaba nepulasitiki olwandle olwedlula izinhlanzi, uClaire Matthews wadala UGreta Omkhulu - ufudu lwapulasitiki olwenziwe ngamanetha okudoba alahliwe nenye imfucuza elahliwe.
Ivelaphi ipulasitiki? Izinto zomkhakha wepulasitiki ongafuneki noma olahliwe njengamanethi amadala nezintambo (ezakha cishe u-10% wokungcola kwepulasitiki olwandle) kuqoqwa kusuka ogwini nasemachwebeni emhlabeni wonke. Imfucumfucu bese ihlelwa ihlolwe amakhemikhali anobuthi ngaphambi kokuba icutshungulwe yenziwe imiklamo yofudu oluluhlaza noma othulisiwe obonwa phambi kwakho.
Ukuqinisekiswa kwekhwalithi akugcini lapho. Njengoba izimfudu zenziwa kucatshangwa izinsana, ziphinde zihlolwe ukuhlolwa kwe-bisphenol A (BPA) nezinsimbi ezisindayo ngemuva kokukhiqizwa. AmaGreta ahlolwe kabili abese efakwa emabhokisini abolayo futhi athunyelwe kubo bonke osomabhizinisi abasha bezemvelo nabalondolozi bemvelo emhlabeni jikelele.
Uma uzibuza ukuthi kungani ufudu luklanywe ngendlela yesimanjemanje ekhangayo, ngisho nakubantu abadala, kungenxa yokuthi lwakhiwe ngu UTim Rundle, umklami wezimboni onamathalenta asefenisha, ukukhanyisa, nasemkhakheni wokuklanywa kwemikhiqizo yangaphakathi, osebenzise isikhalazo sakhe esincane ekuklanyweni kwamathoyizi.
Umqondo bekuwukuba nethoyizi ebelingagcini nje ngokujabulisa izingane kepha futhi lihle ukubheka noma kuphi endlini. Njengabantu abashiya amanetha abo olwandle, izingane azithandi ukuzihlanza emva kwazo, ngakho-ke ukuba nofudu lweplastiki olubukeka lumnandi, olubuyiselwe kabusha olulele phansi egumbini lokuphumula kukwenza kwamukeleke ngokwengeziwe ngenkathi kusebenza njengesinye isikhumbuzi esiqinile sokufaka amapulasitiki indawo yabo.
UGreta Omkhulu okwamanje uhlala bukhoma I-Kickstarter futhi sekusele kancane bashaye umgomo wabo wezimali. Ungabamba eyodwa cishe ngama- $ 20 futhi ube nayo ngesikhathi sikaKhisimusi ka-2020. Uma uthande namathoyizi aklanywe kahle futhi futhi ufuna ukuguqula imfucuza yepulasitiki ibe yisikhumbuzo esihle sezingane zakho, nika le ufudu lweplastiki olusetshenziswe kabusha isibhamu.
