Wonke umntu uyazi ukuba ukuveliswa kweengxowa zeplastiki ezenziweyo zenze igalelo elikhulu kolu luntu. Bangayithoba iplastiki emele ukuba ibolile iminyaka eli-100 kwiminyaka nje emibini. Le ayisiyontlalontle kuphela, kodwa nethamsanqa liphela
Iingxowa zeplastiki ziye zasetyenziswa phantse iminyaka elikhulu. Uninzi lwabantu sele luqhele ubukho bayo. Ukuhamba esitratweni, unokubona izandla enye okanye ezininzi. Ezinye zisetyenziselwa ukuthenga ivenkile, kwaye ezinye ziingxowa zokuthenga kwezinye izinto zentengiso. Iintlobo zitshintshiwe. Vumela abantu kungenjalo ubomi obungenanto bube "buqaqambe kwaye zinemibala."
Kuba ukusetyenziswa kweplastiki kuzisa lula ebomini bethu, ikwazisa ngentlekele. Isidlo sakusasa esisitya yonke imihla iya kusongelwa kwiingxowa zeplastiki, kwaye amafama aya kusebenzisa i-mulch yeplastiki ukugcina ukhula komhlaba njalo njalo. Ndiyakholelwa ukuba uninzi lwethu luza kusetyenziswa njengeengxowa zenkunkuma. Kuthekani ngezi zingxowa emva kokulahlwa kwenkunkuma? Ukuba iingxowa zenkunkuma zingcwatyelwe emhlabeni, ziya kuthatha iminyaka eli-100 ukubola kwaye zingcolise umhlaba; Ukuba i-tiyinetion yamkelwa, kuya kuveliswa umsi onobungozi kwaye kuya kuveliswa i-gesi, eya kuthi ingcolise imeko ixesha elide.
Amazwe amaninzi kunye nemimandla aye avaliweyo okanye athintele ukusetyenziswa kweengxowa zeplastiki. IBhunga leSan Francisco lesixeko lapasisela iBhili ethintela iivenkile ezinkulu, iikhemeri kunye nabanye abathengisi ekusebenziseni iingxowa zeplastiki. Kwizixeko ezinje ngeLos Angeles, urhulumente sele eqalile ukuqalisa imisebenzi yeplastiki. Ezinye iindawo eCanada, e-Australia, iBrazil kunye namanye amazwe ziye zazisa imigaqo-nkqubo ethengiweyo yeplastiki okanye ihlawule ukuze isetyenziswe. Ungcoliseko olubangelwa ziiplastiki luyabonakala kubo bonke. Uninzi lwezinto ezininzi zaselwandle lufa ngenxa yokungakhathali ngenxa yeplastiki, kwaye ezinye zazo zifakwe emzimbeni ukubangela ukungcungcuthekiswa. Ezi ntlungu zenzeka phantse yonke imihla, ke kufuneka siqalise ukunganyangeki kwaye senze ukuxhathisa kwezi zinto - iingxowa zeplastiki ezinokutsha.
Ngoku kukho iqela labantu abalweleyo ukuze baqhubeke ngongcoliseko emhlophe kude nomhlaba. Itekhnoloji ye-biodegrady yeplastiki iphule isaqhwithi seplastiki sikwiminyaka elikhulu. Itekhnoloji yaye yanqanda njengokuthi "iBakala Lwamazwe aPhezulu kunye neTekhnoloji yeTekhnoloji" wang Fosong, kwaye kuyanceda izizukulwana zethu ezizayo. Kuyanelisa ngokwenene ukuba aba bantu bathandekayo bavelise itekhnoloji elungileyo engqongileyo. Umhlaba wethu uye wamhle kangaka oko.
