Nūhou - ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ma hope o nā kīʻaha plastik hiki ʻole iā ʻoe ke ʻike

"ʻAʻole mākou ʻike i ka pilikia no ka mea ke hoʻolei aku nei mākou iā ia - akā ʻaʻohe 'hele'."

E kamaʻilio kākounā kīʻaha plastik hoʻopau—ʻae, ʻo kēlā mau moku liʻiliʻi i ʻike ʻole ʻia he ʻino ʻole, māmā loa, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi a mākou e hopu ai me ka noʻonoʻo ʻole ʻana no ke kope, wai wai, wai wai hau, a i ʻole kēlā hau ʻili wikiwiki. Aia lākou ma nā wahi a pau: ma kāu keʻena, kāu cafe punahele, kāu hale kūʻai kī kīwī ma ka ʻaoʻao, a me ka pāʻina lā hānau o kāu keiki. Akā, ua noʻonoʻo paha ʻoe, "He aha kaʻu e inu ai?"

Eia ka kicker: ʻoiai mākou makemake i ka ʻoluʻolu, ʻaʻole mākou e ʻike ʻole i kahi pilikia.

ʻO ka pahele ʻoluʻolu: He ʻoluʻolu maoli anei nā kīʻaha hoʻopau?

Akaka ka kue ana. Ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, ʻo kēia mau kīʻaha ka mea e hele ai no nā ola luhi. Ma kahi ʻē aʻe, ke lilo nei lākou i maka o ka hewa kūlohelohe. Ua ʻike ʻia kahi noiʻi honua hou ma mua o 1 miliona mau kīʻaha disposable e hoʻohana ʻia i kēlā me kēia minuke. He hihiu kēlā. Inā hoʻopaʻa ʻoe i nā kīʻaha a pau i hoʻohana ʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki e ka ʻoihana lawe meaʻai wale nō, hiki iā ʻoe ke pōʻai i ka Honua. He mau manawa.

Eia naʻe ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻino: manaʻo ka nui o nā mea kūʻai aku ke hana nei lākou i kahi koho "ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka eco" ke koho lākou i nā kīʻaha pepa ma luna o ka plastic. Makaʻala Spoiler—ʻaʻole lākou.

Pepa a iʻole Pīlaki? ʻAʻole ʻo ke kaua i kou manaʻo

ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka leo pepa. Akā, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā kīʻaha pepa i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me ka polyethylene (aka plastic), he mea paʻakikī ke hana hou a hiki ʻole ke hoʻopuehu. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, hiki ke hana pono ʻia a hoʻohana hou ʻia nā kīʻaha plastik PET - ʻoi aku ka maʻemaʻe. ʻOi aku ka hewa, ʻoi aku ka pōʻai pōʻai.

ʻO ia ke kumu e huli ai nā māka akamai (a me nā mea kūʻai akamai) i hilinaʻimea paʻi palaka nā mea hoʻolako e hāʻawi i nā koho PET recyclable 100%. ʻAʻole maikaʻi wale kēia mau kīʻaha—he maikaʻi nō hoʻi.

ʻAʻole ia e pili ana i kāu mea e inu ai

Inā ʻoe e lawelawe ana i ka waiu kī ma ka hele ʻana, e hoʻokipa ana i kahi kīhāpai kīhāpai, a i ʻole e hoʻomaka ana i kahi pā ʻai ʻai kauwela, pono ke ʻano kīʻaha kūpono. Manaʻo kāu mea kūʻai aku, hilinaʻi kou inoa inoa iā ia, a e ʻoiaʻiʻo kākou - ʻaʻohe mea makemake i kā lākou inu e kahe i loko o ke kīʻaha pulu.

ʻO kēia kahi i hilinaʻi ʻiakīʻaha kī waiu amea hana kiaha hauhele mai i ka pāʻani. Pono ʻoe i kahi huahana ʻaʻole pono wale a leak-proof akā ʻaʻole hoʻi e uwē ʻo "plastic plastic" ke kiʻi nā mea kūʻai i kā lākou mau kiʻi Instagram.

No ka mea, he mea nui ka aesthetics. Pela ka honua honua.

No laila… He aha kāu e hana ai?

He mea maʻalahi: e lilo i hoʻololi āu e makemake ai e sip i ka honua.

E ʻimi i nā koho PET hiki ke hoʻohana hou ʻia - ʻaʻole maikaʻi nā plastik āpau. Hiki ke hoʻohana hou ʻia nā kīʻaha plastic disposable maikaʻi a me ka BPA ʻole.

E koho i nā hoa hana mālama - hana pū me nā mea hana e hoʻokahua i ka hoʻomau (hint: like me mākou) i mea ʻokoʻa.

E hoʻonaʻauao i kāu mau mea kūʻai aku - no ka mea, ʻo ka hoʻomau ʻana he mea maʻamau, a makemake ka poʻe e kākoʻo i nā brand eco-smart.

E hoʻokuʻu aku kāua—eia ka ʻoluʻolu e noho ai. Akā hiki iā mākou ke hoʻonui. Me nā mea ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, nā koho maikaʻi aʻe, a me nā vibes maikaʻi aʻe.
