Plastiki ea Puny, Bothata ba Lipolanete

Qeto ea rona ea Leoatle la 2016 #1:
Ha re Emiseng ho Eketsa Bothateng

Selemo sa 2015 se tlisitse litlhōlo tse ling tsa bokamoso ba kamano ea rona le maoatle. Hona joale re sheba 2016 e le nako eo ka eona bohle re qalang ho feta likhatisong tseo tsa khatiso le ho nka khato e tiileng. Re ka li bitsa tsa rona Liqeto tsa Selemo se Secha bakeng sa Leoatle. 

Ha ho tluoa tabeng ea maloanlahla a leoatleng, ha re khone ho tsamaea ka lebelo le lekaneng, empa re tlameha ho leka. Ka lebaka la mosebetsi o boima oa lihlopha tse 'maloa ho kenyeletsa le Plastic Pollution Coalition, 5 Likoloi, 'me Motheo oa Surfrider, United States House le Senate li fetisitse molao ka mong o thibelang thekiso ea lihlahisoa tse nang le li-microbeads. Lik'hamphani tse ngata, tse kang L'Oreal, Johnson & Johnson, le Procter & Gamble, li ne li se li phatlalalitse karolo ea ho tsoa ha li-microbeads meleng ea lihlahisoa tsa bona, kahoo ka litsela tse ling, molao ona o etsa hore e be ea molao.

"Microbead ke eng?" U ka 'na ua botsa. "Mme phapang ke efe lipakeng tsa li-microbeads le microplastics?" Li-microbeads pele.

Li-Microbeads ke likotoana tse nyane tsa polasetiki tse sebelisoang e le li-exfoliates tsa letlalo lihlahisoa tse fapaneng tsa tlhokomelo ea letlalo le moriri. Hang ha li hlatsoitsoe, li phaphamala ho theosa le mokelikeli, li nyane haholo hore li ka sefshoa, 'me ka lebaka leo li hohola ka har'a metsi ebe qetellong li ea matšeng le maoatleng. Ha li le moo, li monya chefo ’me haeba litlhapi kapa likhofu li li ja, li lumella chefo eo hore e monyele tlhapi le likhofu, ’me qetellong e monyele liphoofolo le batho ba jang litlhapi tseo. Ho feta moo, lipolasetiki li ka bokellana ka mpeng ea liphoofolo tse phelang metsing, e leng ho etsang hore ho be thata hore li fumane limatlafatsi tseo li li hlokang. Ea machaba "Otla Microbead" Letšolo le bokelletse mekhatlo e 79 linaheng tse 35 ho sebeletsa ho thibela lithibelo tsa lihlahisoa tse hlahisang li-microbeads. Letšolo le entse sesebelisoa ho u thusa ho khetha lihlahisoa tse se nang li-microbead.

Le li-microplastic? Microplastics ke lentsoe la ho tšoasa-tsohle bakeng sa likotoana tsa polasetiki tse ka tlase ho 5 mm ka bophara. Le hoja lentsoe lena e le la morao tjena, ho ba teng ha likaroloana tse nyenyane tsa polasetiki ho pholletsa le leoatle ho tsebahala ka nako e telele. Ho na le mehloli e mene ea mantlha ea li-microplastic tseo—1) li-microbead tse fumanoang linthong tsa botho le tsa ho hloekisa joalokaha ho boletsoe ka holimo; 2) ho senyeha ha likotoana tse kholoanyane tsa maloanlahla a polasetiki, hangata a tsoang mehloling e thehiloeng mobung; 3) ho qhalana ka phoso ha li-pellets le lisebelisoa tse ling tse sebelisetsoang ho etsa lihlahisoa tsa polasetiki ho tloha sekepeng kapa fekthering ho kena tseleng ea metsi; le 4) ho tsoa ho litšila tsa likhoerekhoere le litšila tse ling.

Kaofela re ithuta hore ho se ho ntse ho e-na le polasetiki e ngata ka leoatleng 'me bothata bo teng hohle ho feta kamoo re kileng ra hlokomela kateng. Maemong a mang, ke bothata bo boholo. Re tlameha ho qala kae-kae-'me sebaka sa pele ke thibelo.  

Thibelo ea li-microbead ke qalo e ntle—'me re u khothalletsa hore u li thibele lelapeng la hao hona joale. Ho joalo le ka ho suthela hole le lipolasetiki tsa tšebeliso e le 'ngoe, joalo ka mahlaka a polasetiki kapa lijana tsa silevera. Lesolo le le leng, Lehlaka la ho Qetela la Plastiki, e fana ka tlhahiso ea hore u kōpe lireschorente tseo u li ratang hore li fane ka lino-mapholi ntle le litlhaka ntle le haeba u kōpile, li fane ka litlhaka tse senyehang habonolo, kapa u li fane kaofela hammoho. Litoropo tse kang Miami Beach li entse joalo.  

Qetellong, tšehetsa boiteko ba ho ntlafatsa tsamaiso ea litšila sebakeng sa heno e le hore lipolasetiki li se ke tsa fella litseleng tsa rona tsa metsi tse arolelanoang. Likhohola tse tšabehang tsa morao-rao le boemo ba leholimo bo matla Amerika Boroa, Amerika bohareng, UK, le Europe bohareng li boletse tahlehelo e nyarosang ea bophelo, ho falla ha baahi, le kotsi libakeng tsa nalane le moruo. 'Me, ka masoabi, karolo ea litšenyehelo tse tsoelang pele e tla ba lithōle tse hlatsoang ka har'a metsi, ho kenyelletsa le libotlolo tse likete tsa polasetiki. Ha maemo a leholimo a ntse a fetoha le ho fetoha, 'me liketsahalo tsa likhohola li ntse li ata, sepheo ke ho netefatsa hore ts'ireletso ea rona ea likhohola e boetse e le sesebelisoa sa ho thibela polasetiki ho tsoa metsing a rona.
