Ukusukela nge-1 kaJulayi, iQueensland neNtshona ye-Australia iya kuvalwa i-Australi, iPlaysi yePlanethi ilula evela kubathengisi abakhulu, ukuzisa amazwe ukuba ihambelane noMthetho, eMzantsi Australia kunye neTasmania.
UVictoria usekwe ukuba alandele, abhengezwe izicwangciso ngo-Okthobha ka-2017 ukuya kwinqanaba leplastiki elula kulo nyaka, ishiya kuphela iWales entsha kuphela ngaphandle kokuvalwa umlomo.
Iingxowa zeplastiki ezinzima zinokuba zibi kakhulu kwindalo?
Kwaye iplastiki enzima inokuthatha ixesha elide ukuba ihlukane nokusingqongileyo, nangona zombini iya kuthi ekugqibeleni iphele njengee-microsric eziyingozi ukuba ingena elwandle.
Unjingalwazi uSamu kara ukusuka kwiDyunivesithi yaseNew South Wales wazisa iingxowa ezinzima ezinokuphinda zifumaneke kwisisombululo sexesha elifutshane.
"Ndicinga ukuba sisisombululo esingcono kodwa umbuzo ngulo, Ngaba kulungile ngokwaneleyo? Kum ukuba ayilunganga ngokwaneleyo.
Ngaba i-chanes elula-yengxowa inciphisa inani leplastiki esiyisebenzisayo?
Inkxalabo yeplastiki enzima ichithiwe emva koMthetho weMithetho yeFomu enye eqhutywa yi-rattenbury ukuze i-ofisi yesikimu sonyaka, iguqula "i-" iguquka "iguquka" iguquko "lutsha" lutshintshiselani "kutsha".
Ukanti, gcina i-Australia iNgxelo yeSizwe kaZwelonke ka-2016-17 ifumene ukwehla kwi-Ingxowa yengxowa yeplastiki emva kokuba iibhegi zeplastiki zaqala ukusebenza, ngakumbi kwiTasmania kunye nomthetho.
Kodwa ezi zizuzo zexesha elincinci zinokuchithwa ngokukhula kwenani labemi, intsingiselo siza kuphelisa abantu abaninzi esebenzisa iingxowa zamandla amakhulu kwixesha elizayo, uGqr Kara walumkisa.
"Xa ujonga ukwanda kwabantu ekutyhilekeni kwe-UN-2050, sithetha nabantu abazizigidi ezili-11 emhlabeni, utshilo.
"Sithetha malunga ne-4 bhiliyoni yabantu eyongezelelweyo, kwaye ukuba bonke basebenzisa iingxowa zeplastiki, baya kuthi ekugqibeleni baphelise kwindawo yokugcwalisa umhlaba."
Omnye umcimbi kukuba abathengi banokuziqhelanisa nokuthenga iingxowa zeplastiki, kunokuba batshintshe indlela yabo yokuziphatha.
Zeziphi iindlela ezingcono?
UGqr Kara uthe iingxowa ezinokuphinda ziphinde zenziwe ngezinto ezinjengekotoni kuphela kwesisombululo.
"Nantso indlela esasidla ngayo. Ndikhumbula umakhulu wam, wayeqhele ukwenza iingxowa zakhe kwilaphu elilalileyo, "utshilo.
"Endaweni yokuchitha ilaphu lakudala alinike ubomi besibini. Leyo yingqondo esifuna ukutshintshela kuyo. "
Ixesha lokuphumla: I-DEX-21 ukuya kwi-2023
