Ekwesịrị m ikweta na amaara m ihe gbasara nyocha karịa gbasara ihe gbasara nchekwa oke osimiri mgbe mbụ m malitere itinye aka na The Ocean Foundation n'oge ọkọchị nke afọ 2009. Otú ọ dị, o teghị aka tupu m enye ndị ọzọ amamihe nchekwa oké osimiri. Amalitere m ịkụziri ezinụlọ m na ndị enyi m ọzụzụ, na-agba ha ume ka ha zụta anụ ọhịa kama ịzụrụ salmon, na-eme ka papa m kwenye ka ọ belata oriri tuna ya, na ịdọrọ akwụkwọ ntuziaka m n'akpa uwe Seafood Watch n'ụlọ nri na ụlọ ahịa ihe nri.

N'oge okpomọkụ nke abụọ m na TOF, etinyere m n'ime ọrụ nyocha na "ecolabeling" na mmekorita ya na Ụlọ Ọrụ Iwu Environmental. N'ịgbawanye ewu ewu nke ngwaahịa akpọrọ dị ka "mmekọrịta gburugburu ebe obibi" ma ọ bụ "akwụkwọ ndụ akwụkwọ ndụ," ọ dị ka ọ na-adịwanye mkpa ileba anya nke ọma na ụkpụrụ akọwapụtara nke ngwaahịa a chọrọ tupu ọ nata ecolabel n'aka otu onye. Ruo ugbu a, ọ nweghị otu ụkpụrụ ecolabel nke gọọmentị na-akwado nke metụtara azụ ma ọ bụ ngwaahịa sitere na oke osimiri. Agbanyeghị, enwere ọtụtụ mbọ ecolabel nkeonwe (dịka ọmụmaatụ Council Marine Stewardship Council) yana nyocha nkwado nri mmiri (dịka nke Monterey Bay Aquarium ma ọ bụ Blue Ocean Institute mepụtara) iji mee ka ndị ahịa mara nhọrọ ma kwalite omume ka mma maka owuwe ihe ubi ma ọ bụ mmepụta azụ.

Ọrụ m bụ ileba anya n'ọtụtụ ụkpụrụ ecolabeling iji gwa ihe nwere ike ịbụ ụkpụrụ dabara adaba maka asambodo nri mmiri nke ndị ọzọ. Ebe a na-edozi ọtụtụ ngwaahịa, ọ bụ ihe na-atọ ụtọ ịchọpụta ihe akara ndị ahụ na-ekwu n'ezie gbasara ngwaahịa ndị ha kwadoro.

Otu n'ime ụkpụrụ m nyochara na nyocha m bụ Ntụle Cycle Life (LCA). LCA bụ usoro na-ewepụta ihe niile na ntinye ike yana ntinye n'ime ọkwa ọ bụla nke okirikiri ndụ ngwaahịa. Amarakwa dị ka “usoro nwata ruo n'ili,” LCA na-anwa ịnye nha kacha zie ezie na nke zuru oke nke mmetụta ngwaahịa na gburugburu ebe obibi. Yabụ, enwere ike itinye LCA n'ụkpụrụ edobere maka ecolabel.

Green Seal bụ otu n'ime ọtụtụ akara aha akwadola ụdị ngwaahịa ọ bụla kwa ụbọchị, site na akwụkwọ nbipute emegharịrị ruo ncha aka mmiri mmiri. Green Seal bụ otu n'ime isi ecolabels ole na ole webatara LCA n'ime usoro asambodo ngwaahịa ya. Usoro asambodo ya gụnyere oge ọmụmụ ihe nyocha okirikiri ndụ yana mmejuputa atumatu mmemme iji belata mmetụta okirikiri ndụ dabere na nsonaazụ ọmụmụ. N'ihi njirisi ndị a, Green Seal na-emezu ụkpụrụ nke ISO (International Organisation for Standardization) na US Environmental Protection Agency setịpụrụ. Ọ bịara doo anya n'ime oge nyocha m na ọbụna ụkpụrụ ga-agbaso ụkpụrụ.

N'agbanyeghị mgbagwoju anya nke ọtụtụ ụkpụrụ n'ime ụkpụrụ, abịara m ghọta nke ọma usoro ntinye akwụkwọ nke ngwaahịa na-ebu ecolabel dị ka Green Seal. Akara Green Seal nwere ọkwa asambodo atọ (ọlaọcha, ọla ọcha na ọla edo). Nke ọ bụla na-ewuli n'elu ibe ya n'usoro, nke mere na ngwaahịa niile dị na ọkwa ọla edo ga-emezukwa ihe achọrọ nke ọkwa ọla na ọlaọcha. LCA bụ akụkụ nke ọkwa ọ bụla ma gụnye ihe achọrọ maka ibelata ma ọ bụ iwepụ mmetụta sitere na ị nweta akụrụngwa, usoro nrụpụta, ihe nkwakọ ngwaahịa, yana mbufe ngwaahịa, ojiji na mkpofu.

Ya mere, ọ bụrụ na mmadụ na-achọ ịdepụta ngwaahịa azụ, ọ ga-adị mkpa ka ọ lelee ebe azụrụ azụ na otú (ma ọ bụ ebe a na-akọ ya na otú). Site n'ebe ahụ, iji LCA nwere ike ịgụnye ebe a na-ebuga ya maka nhazi, otú e si ahazi ya, otú e si ebu ya, mmetụta a maara nke ịmepụta na iji ihe nkwakọ ngwaahịa (dịka Styrofoam na plastic wrap), na ihe ndị ọzọ, ozugbo. onye na-azụ ahịa na-azụta na mkpofu ihe mkpofu. Maka azụ ndị a na-akọ ugbo, mmadụ ga-elebakwa anya n'ụdị nri eji eme ihe, ebe a na-esi enweta nri, ojiji nke ọgwụ nje na ọgwụ ndị ọzọ, na ọgwụgwọ nke nsị sitere n'ụlọ ọrụ ugbo.

Ịmụ banyere LCA nyeere m aka ịghọta nke ọma mgbagwoju anya dị n'azụ ịtụ mmetụta na gburugburu ebe obibi, ọbụlagodi na ọkwa nkeonwe. Ọ bụ ezie na m maara na m na-enwe mmetụta na-emebi gburugburu ebe obibi site na ngwaahịa ndị m na-azụta, nri m na-eri, na ihe ndị m na-atụfu, ọ na-esiri m ike ịhụ otú mmetụta ahụ siruru n'ezie. Site n'echiche nke "nwa nwa ruo n'ili", ọ dị mfe ịghọta oke mmetụta ahụ na ịghọta na ihe ndị m na-eji esiteghị na m malite ma kwụsị. Ọ na-agba m ume ịmara ókè mmetụta m na-aga, ịgba mbọ ibelata ya, na ịnọgide na-ebu akwụkwọ ntuziaka akpa m Seafood Watch!

Onye bụbu onye nyocha TOF Miranda Ossolinski bụ onye gụsịrị akwụkwọ na 2012 na Mahadum Fordham ebe ọ gbara okpukpu abụọ na Spanish na Theology.
