Ua hoʻolaha ʻia ka pāpaʻi plastik no nā makahiki he mau makahiki, akā ke hoʻomaka nei nā hopena kūlohelohe o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka plastik ākea e lawe i kā lākou mau mea ma ka honua.

ʻAʻohe mea e hōʻole ʻia ua hoʻohana pono ʻia ka paʻi plastik i nā ʻoihana he nui a me nā mea kūʻai aku, akā hele mai ia me kahi kumukūʻai kaiapuni unignorable, a me nā mea pōʻino ʻē aʻe i ʻoi aku ka nui o kona mau pono.

Hoʻokomo ʻia ka ʻeke palaki me nā drawbacks e pili pono ana i ke kaiapuni a me ko mākou pono pilikino.

He pilikia nui ka hoʻopaʻi ʻana, ʻoiai ua kau ʻia nā hoʻopaʻi ʻoi aku i nā makahiki i hala aku nei e pale i ka pilikia o ka ʻāina.Hoʻopili ʻia ka ʻeke meaʻai wikiwiki ma kahi o ka hapakolu o nā mea i hoʻopalapala ʻia, a no ka mea ʻaʻole biodegradable ka hapa o ia ʻōpala, waiho ʻia ia ma ko mākou wahi ākea no nā makahiki.

ʻOiai ʻaʻole hewa ka poʻe kūʻai meaʻai, loaʻa iā lākou ka manawa kūʻokoʻa e hōʻemi i ka hopena o ka hoʻopalapala ʻana ma o ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka pale biodegradable.Hoʻohaʻahaʻa maoli ʻia kēia ʻano mea hoʻopili pili kaiaola a ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki ma mua o ka plastic a polystyrene packaging, ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā hopena ʻino o ka hoʻopalapala ʻana i ke kaiapuni.

Hiki iā ia ke lawe i mau keneta no ka popopo loa o nā plastic.ʻO ia hoʻi, ʻo ka plastic a mākou e hoʻohana nei i kēia lā no ka pale ʻana i kā mākou meaʻai a hoʻopaʻa ʻia i kā mākou mea lawe lawe ʻia e pili ana i nā hanauna ma hope o ka lawelawe ʻana i kāna kumu palena ʻole.ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻo ka plastics hoʻohana hoʻokahi ka mea ma kahi o 40% o nā ʻōpala plastik a pau i hana ʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki, ʻo ia ka nui o nā ipu plastik, nā kīʻaha a me nā ʻoki ʻoki.

Nā mea ʻē aʻe palekana kaiapuni - e like me ka biodegradablekīʻaha pepas a hoʻomaupahu meaʻai- ua ʻike i ka piʻi ʻana o ka kaulana ma muli o kā lākou mau hiʻohiʻona eco-friendly, e hāʻawi ana i nā mea kūʻai aku a me nā ʻoihana me kahi koho ʻōmaʻomaʻo no kā lākou lawe ʻana.

Ke nīnau nei paha ʻoe iā ʻoe iho, "pehea e hiki ai iā mākou ke hōʻemi i ka hopena o ka hoʻopili ʻana i ka meaʻai nui i ke kaiapuni?".ʻO ka nūhou maikaʻi, hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i kekahi mau mea e pale aku ai i ka pollution plastic hou ma ke ʻano he mea kūʻai aku a ma ke ʻano he ʻoihana.

He hoʻomaka maikaʻi ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i nā plastics a me ka pale ʻana i nā huahana i uhi ʻia i ka plastik, akā no ke aha e koho ʻole ai i nā mea ʻē aʻe e pili ana i ka kaiaola?ʻO nā waiwai kupaianaha o nā mea biodegradable a me nā mea compostable - e like me nā mea i hoʻohana ʻia e hana i kā mākou pahu lawe lawe - hoʻopōmaikaʻi iā lākou no nā huahana meaʻai a me nā mea inu.ʻOiai inā ʻino lākou a ʻaʻole hiki ke hana hou ʻia, ʻaʻole lākou e loaʻa ka hopena pōʻino i ke kaiapuni.Maikīʻaha kope to ʻekeanā mea lawe, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokuʻu i ka plastic a hoʻomaka e mālama i ka honua i hoʻokahi ʻāpana paʻi i ka manawa.
