My Little Plastic Footprint

I-Little Plastic Footprint Yami uhlelo lokusebenza olukusiza ukuthi unciphise unyawo lwakho wepulasitiki ngokudla ukudla kwepulasitiki. Yehlisa ukusetshenziswa kwakho kwepulasitiki bese ukhetha ezinye izindlela ezizinzile ngohlelo lokusebenza lwe- My Little Plastic Footprint .

Isebenza kanjani?
Kulula kakhulu: khetha eyodwa noma ezingaphezulu zalezi zindawo eziyisithupha zempilo yakho - igumbi lokugezela, ikhishi, uhambo, ukuzilibazisa, indlu nengadi - bese uqala ukudla kwakho kwepulasitiki namuhla. Ukubala unyawo lwakho lwepulasitiki, sidale iPlasitiki Mass Index (PMI). I-PMI yisilinganiso sokubala umnikelo wakho kokungcoliswa kwepulasitiki. Ukuthi i-PMI yakho isondele kangakanani ku-zero, uma ufaka isandla kancane; Lapho i-PMI yakho isondela ku-100, kulapho ufaka khona iqhaza. Ngokudla ukudla kwepulasitiki, uzokwehlisa i-PMI yakho.

Kungani kubalulekile?
Sonke sidla kakhulu ipulasitiki. Empeleni. Kukhona ipulasitiki ekudleni esikudlayo, amanzi esiwaphuzayo ngisho nasemoyeni esiwaphefumulayo. Ngeshwa, lokho iningi labantu elingaboni ukuthi ipulasitiki ingasigulisa lapho ingena emizimbeni yethu. Amakhemikhali asezinhlayiyeni zepulasitiki nezepulasitiki angadala umdlavuza, isifo senhliziyo, i-Alzheimer's, dementia, i-Parkinson's, isifo samathambo, ukungabi namandla futhi nokulimaza izingane ezisesibelethweni.

Njengabantu, sakha imfucuza eminingi yepulasitiki. Bangaphezu kuka-80% ukungcoliswa kwepulasitiki olwandle okuvela emhlabeni. Kuwo wonke amapulasitiki esiwasebenzisa nsuku zonke, siphonsa ama-50% kungakapheli imizuzu engama-20. Ipulasitiki emvelweni ayisho i-biodegrade, ihlukana ibe izingcezu ezincane, ezibizwa ngama-microplastics. Namuhla, izilwandle zethu zifana nesobho lomhlaba wonke le-microplastics: isobho lepulasitiki. Sonke sinesibopho kulokhu; abathengi, izinkampani, kanye nohulumeni.

Ukuze sinciphise unyawo lwethu lwapulasitiki, sonke kudingeka siqhubeke nokudla epulasitiki. Ngohlelo lokusebenza olusha lwe-My Little Plastic Footprint olusha, sizokusiza ukuthi wehlise inani lepulasitiki olisebenzisayo, sikucebise ukuthi ukhethe ezinye izindlela ezifanele, bese sikuvimbele ukuthi ungaguli ngenxa yamakhemikhali anobuthi amaningi anezelwe amapulasitiki. Ukudla kugxile ekuphatheni ukukhathazeka mayelana nepulasitiki okuthinta impilo yabantu, ukugwema ukuvuza kwepulasitiki kube yimvelo futhi kuhloswe ukuthi kuncishiswe ngokuphelele ukukhiqizwa kwepulasitiki.

Ngubani obangela lolu hlelo lokusebenza?
Iqembu lamanye amazwe ngemuva kwalolu hlelo lokusebenza lifaka abalingani abalandelayo:
IPlasitiki Yesobho Sisekelo: I-NGO ese-Amsterdam ehola umkhankaso womhlaba wonke "Beat the Microbead". Injongo yabo: akukho doti epulasitiki emanzini ethu nasemizimbeni yethu!
I-EA: ulwazi olunzulu lwedatha nesazi segeyimu.
USmäll: enye yezinhlangano ezihola phambili zokukhangisa eSpain emkhakheni wokusimamisa.
I-Ocean Refund Alliance: I-NGO yamazwe onke ese-Hong Kong nase-US, enezinhlelo ezimbili zomhlaba zokungcoliswa kwepulasitiki, enye yazo iProjekthi yokuDalulwa kwePulasitiki.
