Enye yezimpikiswano ezinkulu zobungani bephepha kwezemvelo ngotshani bepulasitiki ukuthi iphepha liyabola.

Inkinga?
Ngenxa yokuthi iphepha elijwayelekile liyabola, akusho ukuthi izindiza zamaphepha ziyaboliseka. Ngaphezu kwalokho, igama elithi biodegradable lingaba nezincazelo ezihlukile, futhi kwesinye isikhathi lingadukisa.
Ukuze kuthathwe ngokuthi "kuyaboliseka kokubola," impahla yekhabhoni yomkhiqizo kufanele yehle ngo-60% kuphela ngemuva kwezinsuku eziyi-180. Ezimweni zomhlaba wangempela, iphepha lingahlala isikhathi eside kakhulu kunezinsuku eziyi-180 (kepha lisazonyamalala ngokushesha kuneplastiki, kunjalo).
Ukwenza izinto zibe zimbi kakhulu, emadolobheni lapho iningi lethu lihlala khona, imvamisa asiwenzi umquba wemikhiqizo yethu noma siyishiye ngokwemvelo ibe yi-biodegrade. Cabanga ngakho: Uma uya esitolo sokudla esisheshayo, kuyaqabukela kuba khona umgqomo womquba. Esikhundleni salokho, imicu yakho yamaphepha izongena kudoti ojwayelekile futhi iphele endaweni yokulahla inhlabathi.
Ukugcwaliswa komhlaba kudizayinelwe ngokukhethekile ukuvimbela ukubola, okusho ukuthi uma uphonsa utshani bephepha lakho kudoti, kungenzeka ungalokothi ube yi-biodegrade. Lokhu kusho ukuthi utshani bephepha lakho buzobe nje bengeza ezinqwabeni zikadoti eMhlabeni.

Kepha, Ama-Paper Straws Aphinde Aphinde Aphinde Asebenze?
Imikhiqizo yamaphepha ngokujwayelekile ivame ukusetshenziswa kabusha, futhi lokhu kusho ukuthi ngokujwayelekile, izingcwecwe zamaphepha ziyavuselelwa.
Kodwa-ke, izindawo eziningi zokuphinda zisetshenziswe kabusha ngeke zamukele imikhiqizo yamaphepha engcoliswe ukudla. Njengoba iphepha limunca iziphuzo, kungenzeka ukuthi izingcezu zakho zephepha ngeke ziphinde zenziwe kabusha.
Ngabe lokhu kusho ukuthi imicu yamaphepha ayinakuphinda isebenze ngokuphelele? Hhayi kahle, kepha uma utshani bephepha lakho linensalela yokudla kulo (ngokwesibonelo, ekuphuzeni ama-smoothies), kungenzeka ingaphinde isetshenziswe.

Isiphetho: Yini Okufanele Ngiyenze Ngama-Paper Straw?
Ekuphetheni, ngenxa yokuthi ezinye izindawo zokudlela sezishintshele ezitsheni zephepha, akusho ukuthi kufanele uzisebenzise. Kuyacaca ukuthi imicu yamaphepha iseyingozi emvelweni, noma ngabe izindiza zepulasitiki ziyingozi kakhulu.
Ekugcineni, izingcwecwe zamaphepha zisenemiphumela emikhulu yezemvelo, futhi nakanjani azilungele i-eco. Ngokwengxenye enkulu, kuseyinto yokusebenzisa udoti yokusebenzisa kanye.

Ngakho-ke, yini ongayenza ukunciphisa umkhondo wakho wezemvelo?
Indlela elula yokwehlisa umthelela wakho kwezemvelo (maqondana nezitishi) ukwenqaba zonke izindiza ngokuphelele.
Qiniseka ukuthi noma nini lapho uya ezindaweni zokudlela, ucela isiphuzo ngaphandle kotshani. Izindawo zokudlela zivame ukukhipha imicibisholo ngokuzenzakalela nesiphuzo sakho, ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukuthi ubuze ngaphambi koku-oda.
Ukufaka okunye ukusebenzisa kwethu imicengezi epulasitiki kufakwe ezinye izindlela zamaphepha kufana nokufaka esikhundleni sokudla kukaMcDonald ufake okokudla kwe-KFC — kokubili akunampilo empilweni yakho, njengoba nje omabili bepulasitiki namaphepha bengenampilo endaweni yethu.
