Umuntu ugcina ngokucekela phansi yonke into ayithintayo. Ukukhiqiza namuhla kuhambisana nokungcola kanye nokwenziwa ngokweqile kwemfucuza yazo zonke izinhlobo. Kusukela kwakhiwa i- amathuna enuzi kuze kwakheke iqiniso iziqhingi zepulasitiki Olwandle, sishiya umaki wethu nomaphi lapho siya khona. Iziqhingi zasePlastiki ziyinkinga yangempela kumuntu nakubo bonke ngasikhathi sinye.
Kulesi sihloko sizokwenza ukuhlaziywa ngesimo seziqhingi zepulasitiki olwandle lomhlaba kanye nemiphumela abanayo ngezitshalo nezilwane. Ngabe ufuna ukwazi kabanzi ngayo?
Inkinga yeziqhingi zepulasitiki
Ukukhishwa kwamapulasitiki olwandle kungumphumela wezinkampani kanye nokuphathwa kabi kwemfucuza emhlabeni jikelele. Lapho upulasitiki uphonswa olwandle, kufanele kubhekwe nakho izinga eliphansi kakhulu lokwehlisa isithunzi abanakho. Phakathi namakhulu eminyaka ukuthi ipulasitiki ingantanta olwandle, ayilimazi nje kuphela izinhlobo zezitshalo nezilwane, kepha futhi nabantu ngokusebenzisa uchungechunge lokudla.
Ukwakheka kwalezi ziqhingi zemfucumfucu akumangazi neze lapho sicabanga ngobuningi bemfucuza esiyikhipha emhlabeni wonke nsuku zonke. Inkinga edalwe ukuphathwa kwalezi ziqhingi eziyiqiniso ukuthi ayiyindawo yomuntu. Kusukela kumamayela ayi-12 nautical awukho umthetho, ngoba angamanzi aphesheya. Yilapho kungekho hulumeni ofuna ukutshala izimali zakhe ekuphathweni kwala mapulasitiki antantayo.
Lezi zinqwaba zepulasitiki ezisolwandle zingabonakala njengebhuloho elikhulu ebusweni bamanzi. Uma usondela ebala, lakhiwe ngeziqukathi ezahlukahlukene ezinjengamabhodlela epulasitiki, izikhwama, amathini, amakepisi, amanetha, njll. Izinkulungwane nezinkulungwane zamathani kadoti wepulasitiki owake waba yimikhiqizo nezinsizakusebenza.
Ukuphathwa budedengu kanye nokulahlwa kukadoti ezindaweni zokulahla impahla okungalawulwa, amanzi emifuleni noma eminye imikhakha yamanzi egelezela olwandle, kungamanje okugcina kukuqoqele kulezi zakhiwo ezinkulu.
Kuyinkinga yangempela yezemvelo okumele ibhekwe ngoba iyinto ethatha isikhathi eside ukwehlisa isithunzi.
Zakhiwa kanjani?
Izimbangela eziyinhloko zokwakheka kwalolu hlobo lweziqhingi zepulasitiki zihlobene ukuphatha kabi umuntu kwalolu hlobo lwensiza. Into yokuqala ukungasebenzi kabusha kahle. Uma udoti wepulasitiki ungafakwanga kahle ku- iziqukathi ezivuselelwa kabusha ngeke sazi kahle ukuthi uzoba kuphi.
Kunenqwaba yokulahlwa ngokungemthetho okungcolisa kakhulu. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, zombili izindiza ezindiza olwandle kanye nemikhumbi ehamba ngokulahla amapulasitiki. Ngenxa yokukhishwa ngokungemthetho, imifula igelezela olwandle ngamanzi asevele engcoliswe ukuba khona kwalezi zepulasitiki, ezihanjiswa yimisinga yolwandle. Futhi kufanele sicabangele labo bantu abangcolisa ibhishi.
Ezinye izimbangela zingaphansi kolawulo lwethu futhi singazilungisa. Abanye hhayi kangako, njengamagagasi olwandle aqhutshwa umoya, kepha uma bekungekho kupulasitiki, umoya ubungeke ususe noma yini.
Uma ucabanga ukuthi ziyini izimbangela eziyinhloko zokukhishwa kwepulasitiki, akunzima kakhulu ukwazi ukuthi iziqhingi zepulasitiki zakhiwa kanjani. Akusho lokho, noma kunjalo isiqhingi esiseNingizimu Pacific yisona esikhulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni futhi ezaziwa kakhulu emhlabeni wonke ngamanethiwekhi omphakathi, azikho ezinye iziqhingi ezisabalele emhlabeni wonke.
Isiqhingi esikhulu kunazo zonke satholakala ngo-2011. Namuhla singabonakala njengesisindo esikhulu esintanta kude. Kukhona futhi enye edume kakhulu eyaziwa ngokuthi isiqwenga semfucumfucu saseNorth Atlantic. Lokhu kwatholakala ngo-2009 futhi sekukhule ngokuhamba kweminyaka.
Inani leziqhingi zepulasitiki emhlabeni jikelele
Ngonyaka we-2016, iziqhingi ezinkulu ezinhlanu zabhaliswa kuyo yonke iplanethi. Kodwa-ke, lokho akusho ukuthi babodwa. Kunezinkulungwane zalezi ziqhingi emhlabeni wonke, kepha ngosayizi abancane kakhulu. Vele lezi ziqhingi zepulasitiki ezinhlanu ezinkulu kungenxa yokuhlungwa kobungako obuningi balo doti ngenxa yemisinga yasolwandle nezindawo zokulahla.
Ngaphandle kokuqhubeka, kuneziqhingi ezincane zepulasitiki eMedithera, naseCaribbean ngisho, nasezindaweni ze-Atlantic nase-Indian Ocean. Kuyinto emhlabeni wonke. Eziningi zazo zingezesikhashana, kuze kube yilapho imisinga yolwandle ishintsha izindlela zayo eziqondisayo. Kodwa abanye bagcina beqongelela ngokuhamba kwesikhathi futhi bekhula ngosayizi ngokwengeziwe.
Phakathi kwemiphumela yalezi ziqhingi zikadoti sithola:
- Izigidi zezilwane zifa unyaka nonyaka ngokuminza ngamapulasitiki noma ngokudideka. Lokhu kuholela ekwandeni kwenani lezinhlobo ezisengozini yezilwane nezitshalo.
- Ukungcola kwamanzi olwandle esiwasebenzisela ukugeza nokwenza okuphuzwayo kosawoti.
- Izinguquko esimweni sezulu. Lezi zepulasitiki zihlobene nemiphumela yokuguquka kwesimo sezulu.
- Abantu abangathuthuki ngokomnotho nabadobi abathobekile abakwazi ukuthola ukudla ngenxa yemfucuza enkulu.
Izixazululo ezingaba khona
Ngokuya ngesimo esikhona njengamanje samapulasitiki angaphezulu kwamandla, kunzima ukwazi ukuthi imvelaphi yalowo nalowo ibambelele kumuntu noma ebhizinisini elibakhiqizile. Ngakho-ke, esingakwenza ngakunye ukunciphisa lokhu ukuthi:
- Phinda usebenzise yonke imfucuza kahle lokho kungafakwa ezitsheni noma ezindaweni ezihlanzekile.
- Sekela amabhizinisi azinikele ekukhuthazeni ukusetshenziswa kabusha.
- Sabalalisa inkinga futhi uyiqwashise.
- Bamba iqhaza kumavolontiya okuhlanza amabhishi.
- Futhi bika imisebenzi yokulahla ngokungemthetho oyaziyo noma oyibonayo.
Njengoba ukwazi ukubona, abantu basula konke okusendleleni yabo futhi izilwandle yilokho okulandelayo okuqondiwe.
