Ngaba Ungazihlamba IiWipes Ezigutyungelwayo Okanye Ezilahlwayo?

Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, ukusetyenziswa kweewipes kuye kwanda ngokuthandwa, ngakumbi ngenxa yokwanda kweendlela ezingasetyenziswayo nezingasetyenziswayo. Ezi mveliso zithengiswa njengezisombululo ezilula zococeko lomntu, ukucoca, kwanokunyamekela umntwana. Nangona kunjalo, umbuzo obalulekileyo uphakama: ngaba ungazihlamba iiwipes ezinokusetyenziswa okanye ezisetyenziswayo? Impendulo ayilula njengoko umntu enokucinga.

Okokuqala, kubalulekile ukuqonda umahluko phakathi kwephepha langasese lendabuko kunye neewipes. Iphepha langasese lenzelwe ukubola ngokukhawuleza emanzini, nto leyo eyenza likhuseleke kwiinkqubo zemibhobho. Ngokwahlukileyo koko, iiwipes ezininzi, kwanalezo zibizwa ngokuba “zinokugutyungelwa,” aziqhekeki lula. Oku kunokukhokelela kwiingxaki ezinkulu zemibhobho, kubandakanya ukuvaleka kunye nokugcinwa kwezixhobo zokucoca amanzi amdaka.

Igama elithi “ukugutyungelwa” linokukhohlisa. Nangona abavelisi benokuthi iiwipes zabo zikhuselekile ukuzigutyungelwa, uphando lubonise ukuba uninzi lwezi mveliso aluhlangabezani nemigangatho efanayo yokugutyungelwa njengephepha langasese. I-Water Environment Federation (WEF) yenze uphando olubonisa ukubaizisuli ezihlanjwayo Kungathatha ixesha elide ukuqhekeka, nto leyo edla ngokukhokelela ekuvalekeni kwemibhobho kunye neendawo zonyango. Oku kuyaxhalabisa ngakumbi kwiinkqubo zemibhobho ezindala, ezisenokungaxhotyiswanga ukujongana noxinzelelo olongezelelweyo olubangelwa zizinto ezingaboliyo.

Ngaphezu koko, impembelelo yokusingqongileyo yee-wastewing wipes ibalulekile. Xa ii-wastewing zihlanjwa, zihlala ziphelela kwizityalo zonyango lwamanzi amdaka, apho zinokubangela imingeni yokusebenza. Ezi wipes zinokuqokelelana kwaye zenze "ii-fatbergs," inqwaba yamafutha aqinileyo, igrisi, kunye nezinto ezingaboliyo ezinokuthintela iinkqubo zomjelo wamanzi amdaka. Ukususwa kwezi zivimbelo kubiza kakhulu kwaye kufuna umsebenzi omninzi, ekugqibeleni kukhokelela ekwandeni kweendleko koomasipala kunye nabahlawuli berhafu.

Ngoko ke, yintoni ekufuneka yenziwe ngabathengi? Eyona ndlela ilungileyo kukuphepha ukuhlamba naluphi na uhlobo lwe-wipe, nokuba zezo zibhalwe njengezinokugutyungelwa. Endaweni yoko, zilahle enkunkuma. Olu tshintsho lulula lunokunceda ekuthinteleni iingxaki zemibhobho kunye nokunciphisa impembelelo yokusingqongileyo enxulumene nokulahlwa okungafanelekanga. Izixeko ezininzi kunye needolophu ngoku ziqalisa amaphulo okufundisa uluntu malunga neengozi zokuhlamba ii-wipe kunye nokukhuthaza iindlela zokulahla ezinoxanduva.

Kwabo baxhomekeke kwiizisuliUkuba ufuna ucoceko lomntu okanye ukucoca, cinga ngezinye iindlela. Iiwipes ezibolayo ziyafumaneka kwimarike, eziqhekeka lula kwiindawo zokulahla inkunkuma. Ukongeza, amalaphu angasetyenziswa kwakhona anokuba lukhetho oluzinzileyo lokucoca nokunyamekela umntu, ukunciphisa inkunkuma kunye nesidingo seemveliso ezilahlwayo.

Ukuqukumbela, nangona kulula ukufumana iiwipes, kubalulekile ukuqonda imiphumo yokuzihlamba. Impendulo yombuzo othi, “Ngaba ungazihlamba iiwipes ezigutyungelwayo okanye ezilahlwayo?” ngu-hayi oqinisekileyo. Ukuze ukhusele imibhobho yakho, okusingqongileyo, kunye neziseko zophuhliso zikawonke-wonke, soloko ulahla iiwipes kwinkunkuma. Ngokwenza olu tshintsho luncinci, unokuba negalelo kwiplanethi enempilo kunye nenkqubo yolawulo lwenkunkuma esebenza kakuhle. Khumbula, xa ungaqinisekanga, yilahle!
