Iindlela ezi-9 ezisebenzayo zokwenza imitshato ibe luhlaza ngakumbi—ukuqala ngetafile yakho kunye nokupakishwa

WIi-eddings ziphathelele uthando, unxibelelwano, kunye nokudala amaxesha ahlala ubomi bonke. Kodwa rhoqo, olo vuyo luza neendleko ezifihlakeleyo: inkunkuma engeyomfuneko ehlala ixesha elide emva kokuba i-confetti iwe. Ukusuka kwiipleyiti ezisetyenziswa kanye ukuya kwiipakethe zeplastiki zezinto zokunceda kunye nentsalela, imitshato inokushiya unyawo olunzima kwiplanethi yethu—into abantu abaninzi abathandanayo abanomdla wokutshintsha. Awudingi bhajethi enkulu okanye uhlengahlengiso olupheleleyo ukuze ubambe umtshato ozinzileyo. Enyanisweni, ezinye zezona nguqu zichaphazela kakhulu zilula, ziyafikeleleka, kwaye zongeza nefuthe elikhethekileyo nelisuka entliziyweni kwimini yakho enkulu.Apha ngezantsi kukho iindlela ezili-9 ezisebenzayo nezisebenzayo zokwenza umtshato wakho ube luhlaza ngakumbi—ngokugxininisa ngokukodwa kwitafile kunye neepakethe ezihlala zinganakwa. Ezi azizo nje iindlela “ezithandwayo”; ngamanyathelo asebenzayo ahlonipha ixabiso lakho, agcine umbhiyozo wakho umhle, kwaye ashiye umhlaba ungcono kunokuba ubufumene. Kwaye ewe, zonke zigxile kwiindlela ezinokubola ozithembayo: i-bagasse pulp, i-corn starch, kunye ne-bamboo—izinto ezisebenza nzima njengoko wenzayo ukwenza usuku lwakho lube lugqibelele.

1.Iplastiki Elahlwayo Yenkunkuma—Khetha Izitya Zetafile ZeBagasse Pulp Endaweni Yazo

PIipleyiti ze-lastic kunye nezixhobo zokukhaba zezona zinto zibangela inkunkuma yomtshato—zisetyenziswa kwisidlo esinye, emva koko ziphoswe, kwaye kuthatha iinkulungwane ukuba ziqhekeke. Isisombululo? Izitya ze-Bagasse pulp. Zenziwe ngentsalela ye-fiber eseleyo emva kokuba umoba ucutshungulwe (imveliso engasemva ebinokuchithwa), ezi pleyiti, izitya, kunye neekomityi ziqinile ngokwaneleyo ukubamba yonke into ukusuka kwizidlo zomtshato ezishushu ukuya kwiidizethi ezikhrimu. Zibukeka zintle kwaye zintle—akukho moya “wendalo ongabizi kakhulu” apha—kwaye xa itheko liphelile, zivundisa ngokwendalo kwiinyanga ezimbalwa nje. Ngokungafaniyo neplastiki, aziyi kukhupha iikhemikhali eziyingozi ekutyeni okanye ziphele ziselwandle, nto leyo ezenza zibe lukhetho olukhuselekileyo nolunobubele kwiindwendwe zakho nakwiplanethi.

2. Sebenzisa izikhongozeli zesitatshi sombona xa usenza izinto eziseleyo (akusekho zitya zeplastiki zeTupperware)

WUkupheka okuseleyo kuyinto eqhelekileyo—ngubani ongafuniyo ukuya nesilayi sekhekhe okanye inxalenye yesidlo esilungiselelweyo? Kodwa ukunika iindwendwe izikhongozeli zeplastiki kongeza inkunkuma engaphezulu. Endaweni yoko, tshintshela kwizikhongozeli zesitatshi sombona. Ezi zikhongozeli zikhaphukhaphu, ezihlala ixesha elide zenziwe ngesitatshi sombona esivuselelekayo, oko kuthetha ukuba zibola ngokupheleleyo kwaye zinokugqunywa ngumgquba. Zikhuselekile kwi-microwave (zilungele ukuphinda zifudumale ipasta eseleyo) kwaye ziza ngobukhulu obahlukeneyo, ngoko ke ungapakisha yonke into ukusuka kwizilayi ezincinci zekhekhe ukuya kwizidlo ezipheleleyo. Iindwendwe zakho ziya kuxabisa ukucingisisa, kwaye uya kukuphepha ukongeza iplastiki engaphezulu kwiindawo zokulahla inkunkuma.

3.Iimpahla zomtshato ezigoqwe kwi-Plant Fiber Packaging

WIi-edding favours ziyindlela emnandi yokubulela iindwendwe zakho—kodwa iipakethe zazo zihlala zonakalisa iimvakalelo. Iingxowa zeplastiki, ii-foil wrappers, kunye neebhokisi ezingaphinde zisetyenziswe ziphelela emfucumfucwini ngaphambi kokuba iindwendwe zifike ekhaya. Endaweni yoko, songa ii-favors zakho nge-molded fiber packaging. I-bamboo yenye yezityalo ezikhula ngokukhawuleza eMhlabeni (ikhula ukuya kuthi ga kwiimitha ezi-3 ngosuku!) kwaye ayifuni zinambuzane okanye izichumisi ukuze ikhule. Iingxowa ze-bamboo fiber, ii-wraps, okanye iibhokisi ezincinci zithambile, zihlala ixesha elide, kwaye ziyabola ngokupheleleyo. Zongeza ubuhle bendalo, basemaphandleni kwii-favors zakho—nokuba unika izipho ze-jams ezenziwe ekhaya, ii-succulents, okanye izinto ezincinci—kwaye zibonisa iindwendwe zakho ukuba unomdla kuzo zonke iinkcukacha, ukuya kuthi ga kwipakethe.

4. Phaka iziselo kwiikomityi ezinokugqunywa (akusekho plastiki okanye iphepha elisetyenziswa kanye)

DI-rinkware ngomnye umthombo ofihlakeleyo wenkunkuma yomtshato.Iikomityi zephephazihlala zigqunywe ngeplastiki (ezenza zingaphinde zisetyenziswe), kwaye iikomityi zeplastiki zihlala zinjalo. Faka iikomityi ezinomgquba ezenziwe nge-bagasse pulp okanye i-corn starch. Ezi komityi ziqinile njengeplastiki—aziyi kuvuza okanye zidilike—kwaye zibukeka zintle zidibene neenapkin zelinen okanye iziqholo zokuhombisa. Kwiziselo ezibandayo, zigqunywa ngokwaneleyo ukugcina iziselo zibanda ngaphandle kokubila. Eyona nto ingcono kukuba, emva kokuba iindwendwe zakho zigqibile iziselo zazo, iikomityi zinokungena ngqo kwibhini yomgquba, apho ziya kuqhekeka zibe ngumhlaba otyebileyo.

5. Tshintsha izitya zeplastiki ngezitya ezinokubola

PIifolokhwe, iimela, kunye neepuni zezona zinto zibalulekileyo emtshatweni—kodwa zikwayenye yezona zinto zingafunekiyo.Izitya zokutya ezibolayoifanelekile endaweni yayo: iqinile, ingasetyenziswa kwakhona (ukuba uyafuna!) okanye ingasetyenziswa kwakhona (ukuba awufuni ukuyicoca), kwaye iyabola nge-100%. Ngokungafaniyo nezixhobo zokusika zeplastiki nezesinyithi, ezi zinto zokusika zenziwe ngendalo, kwaye aziqhekeki, kwaye zinomphetho ogudileyo, ocwebezelayo ojongeka umhle kuyo nayiphi na indawo yetafile. Ungayidibanisa neeringi ze-napkin ukuze ibonakale ihambelana, yendalo edibanisa imihombiso yetafile yakho kunye.

6. Sebenzisa iiTray zokutya ezibolayo kwiSetingi zeBuffet

BIi-uffets ziyindlela ethandwayo yokutshata, kodwa zihlala zixhomekeke kwiitreyi zeplastiki okanye ze-foam ukugcina ukutya. Ezi treyi aziphinde zisetyenziswe kwaye zithatha amashumi eminyaka ukubola. Endaweni yoko, sebenzisa iitreyi zokutya ezibolayo ezenziwe nge-bagasse pulp okanye i-corn starch. Ezi treyi ziqinile ngokwaneleyo ukugcina ukutya okunzima njengeenyama ezirostiweyo, ii-casseroles, kunye nezitya ezisecaleni, kwaye kulula ukuzibeka ndawonye ukuze ziphakelwe ngokufanelekileyo. Zikwaxutywa ngaphandle komthungo nayo nayiphi na imihombiso ye-buffet—nokuba uya kumtshato we-barn yasemaphandleni okanye umbhiyozo wanamhlanje, omncinci.

7. Yeka iileyibhile zeplastiki—Sebenzisa izitikha ezisekelwe kwizityalo kwizicwangciso zetafile

TAmakhadi endawo afanelekileyo, iilebheli zokutya, kunye neethegi zokukhetha zihlala zisebenzisa izitikha zeplastiki okanye iphepha elingaphinde lisetyenziswe. Endaweni yoko, khetha izitikha ezisekelwe kwizityalo ezenziwe ngestatshi sombona okanye ifayibha ye-bamboo. Ezi zitikha ziyanamathela, kulula ukuzisebenzisa, kwaye ziyabola ngokupheleleyo—ngoko ke xa iindwendwe zakho zithatha amakhadi azo endawo ziwase ekhaya okanye ziwalahla, aziyi konakalisa okusingqongileyo. Ungabhala kuzo nge-inki esekwe kwizityalo ukuze ube nobuhlobo nokusingqongileyo.

8. Izitya zetafile ezisetyenzisiweyo kunye nokupakishwa kwindawo

CUkubeka izitya zetafile ezibolayo kunye nokupakishwa kakuhle kulungile—kodwa kubalulekile kuphela ukuba uzilahla ngokufanelekileyo. Sebenzisana nendawo yakho yomtshato ukuze ubeke iibhini ze-compost kufutshane nendawo yokutyela kwaye ukhethe itafile. Bhala iibhini ngokucacileyo ukuze iindwendwe zazi apho zibeke khona izinto zazo ezisetyenzisiweyo (izitya zetafile ezibolayo, ukupakishwa, ii-napkin, kwaneentsalela zokutya). Emva komtshato, i-compost ingasetyenziselwa ukuchumisa igadi okanye iifama—ukuvala umjikelo kwaye uguqule inkunkuma yakho yomtshato ibe yinto eluncedo.

9. Sebenzisana nabapheki abasebenzisa iipakethe ezibolayo

Yumpheki wethu udlala indima enkulu ekuzinzeni komtshato wakho. Bacele ukuba basebenzise izikhongozeli ze-bagase pulp, i-corn starch, okanye i-bamboo ukulungiselela ukutya nokuphakelwa. Uninzi lwabathengi luyavuya ukwenza utshintsho—ingakumbi xa bebona ukuba olu khetho lulula kwaye lufikeleleka kangakanani. Ungabacela nokuba baphephe iziqholo ezipakishwe kwangaphambili (ezifana ne-ketchup okanye i-mustard) kwaye endaweni yoko basebenzise izitya okanye izitya ezisetyenziswa kwakhona.
