Nciphisa...Sebenzisa kwakhona...Recycle
Ngomhla we-15 kaNovemba luSuku lweHlabathi lokuRisayikilishwa!
Ukunciphisa kunye nokusebenzisa kwakhona yimigaqo yam ekhokelayo xa kuziwa kuhlaziyo. Kunokuba nzima ukwazi ukuba yintoni enokuphinda isetyenziswe kwaye yintoni engeyiyo, ngakumbi ngeeplastiki. Ngoko ke, ndigqibe ekubeni eyona ndlela ingcono yokurisayikilisheka ibe kukucutha nokusebenzisa kwakhona. Kulula ukudibanisa kubomi bam bemihla ngemihla kwaye ayifuni ingcinga ingako. Uninzi lwezinto endizenzayo, uninzi lwethu luyazi malunga, kodwa, ekuqaleni, kuthatha ukucwangcisa ukuze kwenzeke, kwaye emva koko ungaguquguquki. Ngobomi bethu obuxakekileyo, kunokuba ngumngeni, kodwa emva kwexesha, yindalo yesibini.
Kubekho ukupapashwa okuninzi malunga neplastiki, kwaye yintoni enamanani onke kunxantathu? Ifanele ukuba luncedo, kodwa ndiyifumana iyabhidisa. Iplastiki ethi qatha engqondweni ziingxowa zokuthenga zeplastiki. Kutheni le nto le plastiki ingaphinda isetyenziswe? Ngokobuchwephesha, iyaphinda isetyenziswe, kodwa iingxowa zeplastiki zibhijene kumatshini wokurisayikilisha, nto leyo ebangela iingxaki ngayo yonke inkqubo yokurisayikilisha. Ukuba kufuneka ndisebenzise iplastiki yegrosari, ndiphinda ndiyisebenzise. Inja yam indinceda ukuba ndiphinde ndisebenzise kuhambo lwethu lwemihla ngemihla… ukuba ufumana ukuqhutywa kwam.
Ezinye iindlela zokunciphisa nokusebenzisa kwakhona:
- Zisebenzise kwakhona iingxowa zeplastiki ezifumaneka kwicandelo leziqhamo nemifuno, okanye ungazisebenzisi kwaphela ezo ngxowa.
- Sebenzisa kwakhona iibhokisi ezingenayo izinto ezininzi njengeyogathi kunye nekhilimu emuncu. Azifani, kodwa ziluncedo ngokufanayo.
- Soloko unebhotile yamanzi enokusetyenziswa kwakhona esandleni.
- Sebenzisa i-snack ephinda isetyenziswe kunye neengxowa zesandwich. Emikhulu ingasetyenziselwa iziqhamo nemifuno kwivenkile ethengisa ukutya.
- Xa ndithenga into ekwisikhongozelo seplastiki, andinaxhala lokufumana into enokuphinda isetyenziswe. Ulawulo lweNkunkuma, olungumnikezeli wam wenkunkuma, uthi yilahle yonke apho ukuba nje icocekile kwaye yomile. Kwiibhotile, phinda uyivale ikepusi phambi kokuba uyifake emgqomeni. Jonga kwiwebhusayithi yomboneleli wakho wenkunkuma ukuze ufumane ulwalathiso olungakumbi.
- Kuphephe ukusonga iplastiki, iikomityi ezinewax okanye iplastiki yokugquma kunye neStyrofoam.
- Musa ukufaka izinto ezinokuphinda zisetyenziswe kwingxowa yenkunkuma yeplastiki.
Yintoni, izitro zeplastiki zifumana umhlathi wazo? Iindiza zePlastiki zazingumxholo oshushu kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo kwaye ngokufanelekileyo; kodwa ukuphunga isoda ngaphandle komququ kuvakala kuphosakele, ke ndihlala ndinengca yeglasi kwisipaji sam. Iindiza zePlastiki azikwazi ukuphinda zisetyenziswe kuba zithathwa njengee-microplastics ezityibilikayo kwinkqubo yokurisayikilishwa. Njengabalingane babo abakhulu, ii-microplastics zinokukhupha iigesi ze-greenhouse. Akubonakali kunokwenzeka ukuba loo mibhobho encinci ingaba yingozi kwindawo yethu, kodwa kunjalo. Zifumanele iingca zentsimbi okanye zeglasi kwaye uphinde uzisebenzise.
Njengabaninzi bethu, ngobhubhani we-COVID-19, bendisebenza ekhaya. Emsebenzini wam, ndiphonononga kwaye ndihlele iikopi ezininzi. Ndandinomkhwa wokushicilela phantse yonke into kuba ndandikufumanisa kulula ukufunda. Ekubeni ndandisekhaya, ndagqiba kwelokuba yayilixesha elifanelekileyo lokwahlukana nalo mkhwa. Ngoku, ndishicilela kuphela ukuba kuyimfuneko kwaye ndiyaqinisekisa ukuba ndiphinda ndisebenzise yonke into endiyiprintayo.
Ndikwanciphise ukusebenzisa kwam iphepha ngokuthi:
- Ukubhalisela i-e-statements kuneengxelo zephepha.
- Ukufumana iirisithi zedijithali zezinto endizithengileyo.
- Ukumisa imeyile engabalulekanga. Kukho iiwebhusayithi, ezinje ngoKhetho lweKhathalogi, ukufumana igama lakho kuluhlu lokuposa.
- Ukusebenzisa iitawuli zelaphu endaweni yeetawuli zephepha.
- Ukusebenzisa i-napkins yelaphu endaweni ye-napkins yephepha.
- Ukuphepha ukusebenzisa iipleyiti zephepha kunye neekomityi.
- Ukusebenzisa ukusongwa kwesipho esisetyenzisiweyo.
- Ukwenza amakhadi okubulisa ngamadala.
Zombini iglasi kunye nentsimbi zinokuphinda zisetyenziswe kwakhona, ngoko ke hlambulula loo ngqayi ye-salsa kwaye uyiphose emgqomeni. Iingqayi zeglasi kunye neebhotile akufuneki ukuba zicoceke nge-100%, kodwa kufuneka ubuncinane zihlanjululwe ngeziqulatho ukuze ziqwalaselwe ukuphinda zisetyenziswe. Ukususa iilebhile kuluncedo, kodwa akuyomfuneko. Izivalo azikwazi ukuphinda zisetyenziswe, ngoko kufuneka zisuswe. Izinto ezininzi zesinyithi zinokuphinda zisetyenziswe, ezifana neetoti zokutshiza ezingenanto, i-tinfoil, iitoti zesoda, imifuno kunye nezinye iinkonkxa zeziqhamo. Qinisekisa ukuba zonke iinkonkxa zicocekile kulwelo okanye ukutya ngokuzipusha nje ngokulula. Nantsi into ebendisoloko ndiyenza ebendingayazi ukuba iphosakele: musa ukutyumza iinkonkxa ze-aluminiyam phambi kokuba zisetyenziswe kwakhona! Ngokucacileyo, loo nto inokungcolisa ibhetshi ngenxa yendlela iitoti ezicutshungulwa ngayo.
Ke...bamba iibhegi zakho zokuthenga eziphinda zisebenziseke, ibhotile yamanzi ephinda isetyenziswe, istraw kunye nesandwich kwisikhongozeli sakho seplastiki esinokuphinda sisetyenziswe, kwaye uphume uye kuhambo losuku usazi ukuba unegalelo ekuphuculweni kokusingqongileyo, kodwa ungaqhubeki ujikeleza kakhulu. , ngokuba, uyazi...ikharbhon footprint, kodwa asizukuya apho namhlanje.
