Umqondo wokusebenzisa kuphela ukufakwa okuqhubekayo - ukuqeda imfucuza, i-carbon footprint ephansi, esebenza kabusha noma okukhohlisayo - kubonakala kulula - kepha iqiniso lamabhizinisi amaningi liyinkimbinkimbi futhi lincike embonini abasebenza kuyo.
Izithombe eziphakathi kwemithombo yezokuxhumana yezidalwa zasolwandle ezisongwe ngopulasitiki zibe nomthelela omkhulu ekuboneni komphakathi kokupakishwa kwepulasitiki eminyakeni yamuva. Phakathi kwamathani amamitha ayizigidi ezine kuya kwezingu-12 angena olwandle unyaka nonyaka asongela impilo yasolwandle futhi angcolise ukudla kwethu.
Ipulasitiki eningi ikhiqizwa kusuka kuma-fossil fuels. Lokhu kufaka isandla ekushintsheni kwesimo sezulu, manje okukukhathalela kohulumeni, amabhizinisi kanye nabathengi ngokufanayo. Kwabanye, imfucuza yepulasitiki sekuye yaba shorthand ngendlela esiphatha kabi ngayo imvelo yethu kanye nesidingo sokupakisha esimeme akukaze kube nocace.
Kodwa ukufakwa kwepulasitiki kuwukuphamba ngoba kuyasiza, hhayi ukusho okubalulekile kwizicelo eziningi.
Ukupakisha kuvikela imikhiqizo ngenkathi ihanjiswa futhi igcinwe; Kuyithuluzi lokuphromotha; Ide yempilo yemikhiqizo enezindawo ezinhle kakhulu zesithiyo futhi inciphise imfucuza, kanye nokusiza ukuthutha imikhiqizo entekenteke njengemithi nemikhiqizo yezokwelapha - okungakaze kube okubaluleke kakhulu kunasesikhathini sobhubhane lwe-19.
IzinkanyeziIkholelwa ukuthi leli phepha kufanele njalo libe yindlela yokuqala njengeplastiki - isisindo esincane uma kuqhathaniswa nezinye izinto ezihlukile njengengilazi noma ngensimbi, kuyavuselelwa, kuyatholakala kalula, futhi kukhokhwe. Amahlathi alawulwa ngokungebhekele futhi ahlinzeka ngezinzuzo eziningi zemvelo, kufaka phakathi ukuthumba ikhabhoni. "Amaphesenti angama-80 ebhizinisi lethu asuselwa ku-fiber-ngakho-ke acubungula ukusimama kulo lonke leli ntengo yethu, ekwenzeni ipulp yethu, ukukhiqiza ama-pulp, ephepheni, amafilimu epulasitiki ekwakheni nasekukhiqizeni izimboni," kusho uKahl.
"Uma kukhulunywa ngephepha, amanani aphezulu okuvuselela kabusha, amaphesenti angama-72 ephepheni eYurophu, akwenze kube yindlela ephumelelayo yokuphatha imfucuza futhi uqinisekise ukujikeleza," uyaqhubeka. "Abathengi abaphetha babona lokho kudla njengomusa emvelweni, futhi bakwazi ukulahla iphepha ngendlela efanele, okwenza ukuthi bakwazi ukuphatha futhi baqoqe izinto ezingezengeziwe ezingezokwelapha amashalofu."
Kepha kuyacaca futhi ukuthi kwesinye isikhathi kuphela ipulasitiki kuphela ezokwenza, ngezinzuzo zayo ezihlukile nokusebenza. Lokho kufaka phakathi ukupakishwa ukugcina izivivinyo ze-coronavirus zilingene futhi zigcine ukudla kube kusha. Eminye yale mikhiqizo ingathathelwa indawo yi-Fibficle ezinye izindlela - amathreyi okudla, ngokwesibonelo - noma ipulasitiki eqinile ingathathelwa indawo ngenye indlela eguquguqukayo, engonga kuze kube ngamaphesenti angama-70 okudingekayo.
Kubalulekile ukuthi ipulasitiki esilisebenzisayo ikhiqizwa, isetshenziswa futhi ilahlwe ngokuzinzile ngangokunokwenzeka. UMondi wenzele ukuzinikela kwayo okufisayo ukugxila kumaphesenti ayi-100 emikhiqizo yawo ukuze asebenze kabusha, aphinde asebenze kabusha noma aqambe ngo-2025 futhi aqonde ukuthi ingxenye yesisombululo ilele ekushintsheni okubanzi kohlelo.
