Moni, bwerani mudzakambirane zinthu zathu!

(Bloomberg) - Akatswiri azachilengedwe azindikira vuto lina padziko lapansi.Amatchedwa nurdle.

Ma nurdles ndi timatabwa ting'onoting'ono ta utomoni wa pulasitiki osakulirapo kuposa chofufutira cha pensulo chomwe opanga amasintha kukhala zokutira, udzu wapulasitiki, mabotolo amadzi ndi zolinga zina za chilengedwe.

Koma ma nurdles nawonso ndi vuto.Mabiliyoni aiwo amatayika pakupanga ndi kugulitsa maunyolo chaka chilichonse, kuthira kapena kutsuka munjira zamadzi.Katswiri wazoyang'anira zachilengedwe ku UK akuti chaka chatha kuti ma pellets apulasitiki opangidwa kale ndiye gwero lachiwiri lalikulu la kuipitsidwa kwa pulasitiki m'madzi, pambuyo pa tizidutswa tating'ono ta matayala agalimoto.

Tsopano, gulu lolimbikitsa olowa nawo gawo la As You Sow lapereka zigamulo ku Chevron Corp., DowDupont Inc., Exxon Mobil Corp. ndi Phillips 66 kuwapempha kuti aulule kuchuluka kwa ma nurdles omwe amathawa ntchito yawo yopanga chaka chilichonse, komanso momwe akuthana ndi vutoli. .

Monga kulungamitsidwa, gululi limatchula kuyerekezera kwa ndalama zambiri zandalama ndi zachilengedwe zomwe zimagwirizanitsidwa ndi kuipitsidwa kwa pulasitiki, ndi zoyesayesa zaposachedwa zapadziko lonse kuthana nazo.Izi zikuphatikizapo msonkhano wa United Nations ku Nairobi ndi lamulo la US loletsa mapulasitiki ang'onoang'ono omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito mu zodzoladzola.

"Takhala tikudziwa zaka zingapo zapitazi kuchokera kumakampani apulasitiki, kuti akutenga zonsezi," atero a Conrad MacKerron, wachiwiri kwa purezidenti wa As You Sow.Makampaniwa akuti ali ndi zolinga zokonzanso mapulasitiki, adatero."Iyi ndi nthawi yosangalatsa kwambiri, ngati ali otsimikiza ... ngati ali okonzeka kutuluka, njerewere ndi zonse, ndikuti 'zimenezi ndi izi.Nazi zotayika zomwe zili kunja uko.Taonani zimene tikuchita ponena za iwo.’”

Makampaniwa atenga nawo gawo kale mu Operation Clean Sweep, ntchito yodzifunira yothandizidwa ndi makampani kuti mapulasitiki asalowe m'nyanja.Monga gawo la njira yotchedwa OCS Blue, mamembala amafunsidwa kuti agawane zambiri mwachinsinsi ndi gulu lamalonda za kuchuluka kwa ma pellets a resin omwe amatumizidwa kapena kulandilidwa, otayidwa, obwezeretsedwanso ndi opangidwanso, komanso kuyesetsa kulikonse kuti athetse kutayikira.

A Jacob Barron, mneneri wa Plastic Industry Association (PIA), omwe ndi othandizira makampani, adati "zachinsinsi zikuphatikizidwa kuti athetse nkhawa zomwe zingalepheretse kampani kuulula izi."Bungwe la American Chemistry Council, gulu lina lokopa anthu, limathandizira OCS pamodzi ndi PIA.M'mwezi wa Meyi, idalengeza zolinga zazitali zamakampani kuti zibwezeretse ndikubwezeretsanso mapaketi apulasitiki, komanso kuti opanga onse aku US agwirizane ndi OCS Blue pofika 2020.

Pali chidziwitso chochepa pakukula kwa kuipitsidwa kwa pulasitiki kotereku ndi makampani aku US, ndipo ofufuza padziko lonse lapansi adayesetsa kuwunika molondola.Kafukufuku wa 2018 akuti ma pellets 3 miliyoni mpaka 36 miliyoni amatha kuthawa chaka chilichonse m'dera limodzi lokha la mafakitale ku Sweden, ndipo ngati tinthu tating'ono tating'ono taganiziridwa, kuchuluka komwe kumatulutsidwa kumaposa zana.

Kafukufuku watsopano akuwulula kuchuluka kwa mapepala apulasitiki

Eunomia, katswiri wazachilengedwe waku Britain yemwe adapeza ma nurdles ndiye gwero lachiwiri lalikulu kwambiri la kuyipitsa kwa pulasitiki, akuyerekeza mu 2016 kuti UK ikhoza kutaya mosazindikira pakati pa 5.3 biliyoni mpaka 53 biliyoni m'chilengedwe pachaka.

Kafukufuku watsopano akuvumbula kupezeka kwa mapepala apulasitiki, kuyambira m'mimba mwa nsomba zomwe zimagwidwa ku South Pacific, mpaka m'matumbo a albatross am'mphepete mwa nyanja kumpoto ndi m'mphepete mwa nyanja ya Mediterranean.

Braden Reddall, wolankhulira Chevron, adati gulu la mafuta oyaka mafuta likuwunikanso zomwe eni ake amagawana ndikupanga malingaliro awo pa Epulo 9. Rachelle Schikorra, wolankhulira Dow, adati kampaniyo nthawi zonse imalankhula ndi omwe akugawana nawo za kukhazikika komanso kukhazikika. imagwira ntchito "kupanga mayankho omwe amalepheretsa pulasitiki kukhala m'malo athu."

A Joe Gannon, omwe amalankhulira a Phillips 66, adati kampani yake "yalandira zomwe akugawana nawo ndipo adzipereka kuti achite nawo."ExxonMobil yakana kuyankhapo.

Makampani asankha m'miyezi ingapo ikubwerayi ngati aphatikiza ziganizozo m'mawu oyimira chaka chino, malinga ndi As You Sow.
