UHambo lwe-PADI lokuNciphisa i-Dive Travel's Carbon Footprint nge-Seagrass

Abahambi badibanisa ngakumbi utshintsho lwemozulu kunye neendlela abazisebenzisayo ukuhlola ihlabathi. Kungekudala entsha, $20 yokongeza ngexesha I-PADI Travel's inkqubo yokuphuma iya kuvumela abohlukeneyo inkxaso Inyathelo lokuqala le-SeaGrass Grow ye-Ocean Foundation ukukhusela kunye nokutyala amadlelo engca yolwandle, afunxa ikhabhoni ngempumelelo kunamahlathi emvula.

Ukhenketho luvelise ipesenti ezisibhozo zokukhutshwa kwekhabhoni kwihlabathi lonke phakathi kowama-2008 nowama-2013, uphando lwe-2018 lufunyenwe. Kwaye nangona kunyaka ophelileyo wabona ukunyuka kwekota flygskam (IsiSwedish esithi "iintloni zokubhabha") njenge abakhenkethi baqonde ukuba inqwelomoya inegalelo elingakanani kwinani lekhabhoni, iiprojekthi zeZizwe Ezimanyeneyo zoKhenketho lweHlabathi Ikhabhoni yohambo lwamazwe ngamazwe iyakukhula kule minyaka ilishumi izayo. Uhambo lokuntywila luhlala luxhomekeke kuhambo lwekhabhoni; uphando lubonisa i igalelo elikhulu kushicilelo lokhenketho lwelizwe lesiqithi ziinqwelomoya ezithathwayo ukuya apho.

Ngaphandle komdla owongeziweyo kuhambo oluhambelana nokusingqongileyo, abakhenkethi abaqaphela indalo bayasokola ukuchonga indlela yokunciphisa impembelelo yabo-imiboniso yophando. abahambi abanakuqikelela ngokuchanekileyo ukuba ingakanani ikhabhoni iholide yabo eya kuvelisa. Ngelixa i-carbon calculators inokuba luncedo, i ukunqongophala komgangatho kunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwazo.

Yinto i-quagmire PADI Travel iceba ukujongana ngqo.

Ngena kwingca yolwandle. I-Meadows igubungela nje i-0.1 yepesenti yomgangatho wolwandle kodwa ibambe i-11 lepesenti yekhabhoni egcinwe elwandle. I-Ocean Foundation iyayixhasa le ndawo yamandla “yekhabhoni eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka” ngokutyala ngokutsha iindawo ezonakeleyo kunye nokukhusela amadlelo angagungqiyo, utsho uBen Scheelk, owongamela iprojekthi yeSeaGrass Grow. Ukubuyiselwa kweMeadow ePuerto Rico iJobos Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, eyona projekthi yombutho ithatha ingca yolwandle ixesha elide, ingahlutha phakathi kwe-600 kunye ne-1,000 yeetoni zeemetric kwisithuba seminyaka eli-100, iiprojekthi zeScheelk, kwaye inokuba ngumgqatswa wokufumana inkxaso-mali kwintsebenziswano yePADI. xa iqala ngasekupheleni kuka-2020 okanye ekuqaleni kuka-2021.

Kunyaka ophelileyo i-PADI Travel ibhukishe ngaphezu kwe-6,500 yohambo, eya kunika ubambiswano amandla okwenza i-funnel ukuya kwi-130,000 yeedola kwiprojekthi ye-SeaGrass Grow. Kwixabiso lokubhukisha elikwi-3,500 yeedola, intlawulo eyongeziweyo imele ukunyuka kwexabiso elincinane kuphela.

UScheelk uthi: “Ukwenza abo bantywila emanzini yindlela enamandla ngokwenene yokuba abantu babuyisele nokukhusela iindawo abazithandayo.”

I-PADI Travel ifuna ukukhuthaza abantu ukuba "bacinge ngokuhlukileyo malunga nento abanokuyenza kolo hambo," kusho u-Emma Daffurn, ingcali yomxholo kwi-PADI Travel. "Ngamandla e-PADI-baninzi bethu, kukho ithuba lokwenyani lokwenza impembelelo enkulu."
