E aʻo pehea e hoʻolālā i kahi huakaʻi kahakai piha i ka leʻaleʻa kaiaola! E hāhai i kā mākou ʻōlelo paipai e mālama i ka ʻōpala, pale i ke kai a hoʻoluʻu i ka lā…e heluhelu ma!
ʻO ka hele ʻana i kahakai aia ma luna o ka papa inoa o nā hana kauwela. E like me nā haʻalele ʻana, he mea nui hoʻi ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana no ka hanana a me ka honua. Ke aʻo hou aku ʻoe, e hana maikaʻi ʻoe, a he mea nui e noʻonoʻo i ka hopena o ke kanaka i ke ʻano. Ua manaʻo ʻia he 8 miliona mau tone plastic i hoʻokomo ʻia i loko o ko kākou moana i kēlā me kēia makahiki. I mea e pale ʻole ai i ka haʻalele ʻana iā mākou me ka hopena maikaʻi ʻole, hiki iā mākou ke hōʻoia i ka hoʻopiha ʻia ʻana o nā huahana pili i ke kaiapuni no ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana no kahi huakaʻi kahakai leʻaleʻa. Ma kēia ʻano, ʻoiai inā haʻalele mākou i hoʻokahi a i ʻole ʻelua mau mea, hiki iā mākou ke hōʻoia ʻaʻole e luku ʻia ke kaiaola o ke kahakai e nā plastik ʻino a i ʻole nā ​​​​kemika paʻakikī. (1)
1. ʻO nā kāwele kahakai ʻaʻohe plastik E ʻimi i kahi kāwele kahakai palupalu ʻoluʻolu e kūpono iā ʻoe, e like me ka mea i hana ʻia e FiveADRIFT, kahi hui i hoʻolaʻa i ka wai maʻemaʻe a hāʻawi i nā hui aloha. E hāʻule maʻamau nā kāwele e like me nā pākeke a i ʻole nā ​​lole, no laila ke kau ʻoe i ke kāwele ma kahakai, e waiho paha ia i nā mea ʻili liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi a me nā ʻāpana fiber i makemake ʻole ʻia, he mea pōʻino hoʻi i ka honua a me ka moana. Manaʻo ʻia aia ma kahi o 4 billion ultrafine fibers i kēlā me kēia kilomika square aia ma lalo o ka ʻili o ka moana. Loaʻa kēia mau fiber mai ka ʻeke plastik, nā ʻōmole, nā lole a me nā kāwele kahakai hiki ʻole ke hoʻomau.
ʻAʻole manaʻo ka hoʻomau ʻana ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e nalowale i ka hōʻoluʻolu. Hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa i nā kāwele kahakai maikaʻi ʻole i ka plastik i hana ʻia me nā mea e like me ka hemp a me ka pulupulu i hana hou ʻia, ʻaʻohe mea i loko o lākou. No laila hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaha i kou ʻano me ka ʻike e kōkua ana ʻoe e mālama i ke kahakai!
2. Nā ʻeke kahakai kūpaʻa Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe he ʻeke kahakai nui i piha i nā mea i kūpono i kou mau pono kahakai, he aha ka huakaʻi kahakai? E like me nā mea ʻē aʻe āu e lawe mai ai, pono ʻoe e wehe i nā ʻeke āpau i hana ʻia me ka plastic. ʻO kēia ka pōʻino nui loa i ka ʻōpala i loaʻa ma kahakai. Ke ulu mau nei ka hana plastik o ka honua, akā ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa kahi mea kūpono. E ʻimi i kahi ʻeke nui i hana ʻia me nā mea hoʻomau, ʻo ia hoʻi ka wai wai i ʻole e hoʻopilikia ʻia kāu mau mea e kekahi kumu.
3. ʻAʻole ʻo ka ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻele koleke ka mea hoʻonāukiuki a mākou i haʻalele wale ai ma ke kahakai a me ka wai. Hiki ke komo i loko o ka wai ka nui o nā kemika i loaʻa i nā pale lā a he mea pōʻino loa i ke kaiaola maoli o ke kai. He ʻokoʻa iki ka pale lā mineral mai ka pale lā kemika. Hoʻohana ia i nā minela kūlohelohe e like me ka zinc e pale i ka lā. Eia kekahi, ʻaʻole e loaʻa i kēia mau mineral ka hopena maikaʻi ʻole i ke kaiapuni e like me nā kemika ʻē aʻe. Eia kekahi, ua hōʻike ka Personal Care Products Council i ka maikaʻi o nā sunscreens mineral e like me nā sunscreens-kemika. No laila, e hoʻopaʻa pono i kēia mau mea i ka wā e hele ai i kahakai no ke kumu o ka pale lā mineral.
4. ʻAʻohe ʻōpala ʻai. I ka hele ʻana i kahakai, ʻoi aku me nā keiki, pono ʻoe e lawe i nā mea ʻai. Makemake paha ʻoe e hoʻohui i nā mea inu ʻoluʻolu ma waena o ka ʻauʻau ʻana e mālama iā ʻoe i ka wai. Ma mua o kou lawe ʻana i kekahi meaʻai a mea inu paha i kahakai, e hoʻomaopopo pono ʻoe i nā lula o ke kahakai. Inā ʻae ʻia ka meaʻai, e hōʻoia ʻaʻole e hoʻohana i ka plastic a waiho i ka meaʻai i loko o nā pahu hoʻomau a hiki ke hoʻohana hou ʻia.
Hiki ke puhi ʻia e ka makani nā mea ʻai meaʻai (e like me nā kīʻaha ʻilika a i ʻole ka pepa ʻōwili) a hiki ke komo i ka moana a wāwahi i loko o nā microplastics. Piha pinepine nā pahu ʻōpala a puni nā wahi ʻai a me nā kahakai i ka ʻōpala, no laila ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka lawe ʻole ʻana i nā mea hoʻopau me ʻoe, no ka mea, ʻo ia ka 40% o ka ʻōpala palaka o ka honua.
Manaʻo Manaʻo ʻOiai ua maopopo ka hele ʻana i kahakai he mea leʻaleʻa a hoʻomaha hoʻi, hiki i kekahi hoʻolālā noʻonoʻo ma mua ke kōkua i ka pale ʻana i ko kākou moana i ka wā lōʻihi. He manaʻo maikaʻi mau ke kūʻai ʻana i nā huahana mai nā hui ʻaʻole i hana i nā waiwai hoʻomau, akā e ʻimi pū i nā ʻoihana e kūkulu i ka wā e hiki mai ana ma o nā ala aloha.
Ma kahi huakaʻi kahakai piha leʻaleʻa, ʻaʻole paʻakikī loa ka loaʻa ʻana o nā mea hoʻomau a pili i ka kaiaola. I ka hopena hope loa, ʻaʻole ʻoe e mihi i ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā kāwele kahiko me nā kāwele hoʻomau, e kōkua iā ʻoe e hoʻomaikaʻi i ka honua a me ke kahakai a lilo i wahi maikaʻi.
