Ukususela ngo-1 kaJulayi, i-Queensland kunye ne-Western Australia iya kuvimbela ukusetyenziswa kwe-single-single, iingxowa zeplastiki ezikhaphukhaphu ezivela kubathengisi abakhulu, ukuzisa amazwe ahambelana noMTHETHO, iSouth Australia kunye neTasmania.
UVictoria umiselwe ukulandela, emva kokubhengeza izicwangciso ngo-Okthobha ngo-2017 ukuphelisa iingxowa zeplastiki ezikhaphukhaphu kulo nyaka, zishiya kuphela iNew South Wales ngaphandle kokuvalwa okucetywayo.
Iingxowa zeplastiki ezinobunzima obunokuba mbi kwimeko engqongileyo?
Kwaye iiplastiki ezinobunzima obunzima zisenokuthatha ixesha elide ukudilika kwimekobume, nangona zombini ziya kuphelela ekubeni zii-microplastics eziyingozi ukuba zingena elwandle.
Unjingalwazi uSami Kara ovela kwiYunivesithi yaseNew South Wales uthe ukuzisa iingxowa ezinobunzima obunokuphinda zisebenziseke sisisombululo sexesha elifutshane.
“Ndicinga ukuba sisisombululo esingcono kodwa umbuzo ngulo, ingaba ilungile ngokwaneleyo?Kum ayilunganga.
Ngaba ukuvalwa kweebhegi ezikhaphukhaphu kunciphisa ubungakanani beplastiki esiyisebenzisayo?
Inkxalabo yokuba izikhwama zeplastiki ezinzima zilahlwa emva kokusetyenziswa okukodwa kwenza uMphathiswa wezeMozulu we-ACT uShane Rattenbury ukuba ayalele ukuphononongwa kwesikimu kwi-ACT ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, echaza iziphumo "ezigqwesileyo" zendalo.
Sekunjalo, Gcina i-Australia Beautiful ingxelo yesizwe ye-2016-17 ifumene ukuhla kwenkunkuma yeplastiki emva kokuvinjelwa kweengxowa zeplastiki kuqale ukusebenza, ngakumbi eTasmania kunye noMTHETHO.
Kodwa ezi nzuzo zexeshana elifutshane zinokutshatyalaliswa kukukhula kwabemi, okuthetha ukuba siza kuphelela abantu abaninzi abasebenzisa iingxowa ezinamandla kakhulu kwixesha elizayo, uGqr Kara walumkisa.
“Xa ujonga ukwanda kwabemi okuxelwe kwangaphambili yi-UN ngo-2050, sithetha ngabantu abazibhiliyoni ezili-11 emhlabeni,” utshilo.
"Sithetha malunga nabantu abazibhiliyoni ezi-4 ezongezelelweyo, kwaye ukuba bonke basebenzisa iingxowa zeplastiki ezinzima, ekugqibeleni baya kuphelela kwindawo yokulahla inkunkuma."
Omnye umba kukuba abathengi banokuqhelana nokuthenga iingxowa zeplastiki, kunokuba batshintshe indlela abaziphatha ngayo ixesha elide.
Zeziphi iindlela ezingcono?
UGqr Kara uthe iingxowa ezinokuphinda zisetyenziswe ezenziwe ngezinto ezifana nomqhaphu kuphela kwesisombululo.
“Nantso ke indlela esasiyenza ngayo.Ndikhumbula umakhulu wam, wayesenza iibhegi zakhe ngelaphu elishiyekileyo,” utshilo.
“Endaweni yokuchitha ilaphu elidala wayelinika ubomi besibini.Leyo yingqondo ekufuneka sitshintshele kuyo. ”
