Ipulasitiki nempilo
Ngokusho kweCentre for Biological Diversity, izikhwama zepulasitiki ziyimbangela yokufa kwezilwane zasolwandle eziyi-100 ngonyaka. Kodwa-ke, bambalwa abantu abazi ngemiphumela eyingozi yepulasitiki emzimbeni womuntu.
Ubufakazi obukhulayo besayensi bubonisa ukuthi amakhemikhali anjenge-bisphenol A (BPA) atholakala kumapulasitiki angangena emzimbeni womuntu ngokuthinta isikhumba nje. Ziphinde zingene emzimbeni ngokudla ukudla okusongwe ngepulasitiki noma ukuphuza amanzi emabhodleleni epulasitiki. I-BPA nama-molecule ahlobene afana ne-Bishpenol S (BPS) alingisa ukwakheka kwamahomoni omuntu futhi angathinta uhlelo lwe-endocrine. Ukuphazamiseka kwalesi simiso kungase kube nemiphumela ehlukahlukene ethinta “i-metabolism, ukukhula, ukusebenza kobulili nokulala,” ngokusho kwe-Guardian. I-US Food and Drug Administration ivimbele ukusetshenziswa kwalawa makhemikhali emabhodleleni ezingane nasezitsheni zokudla ngenxa yokukhathazeka ngokuthi i-BPA buildup ingaholela ezinkingeni ze-neurobehavioral ne-immune system.
Ipulasitiki nezitolo ezinkulu
Izitolo ezinkulu eziningi nazo sezingenele ukulwa nopulasitiki. Uxhaxha lwezitolo ezinkulu zase-UK i-Iceland ithembise ukuthi ngo-2023 izobe ingenapulasitiki. Siyayishiya ukuze sizuze ushintsho lwangempela noluhlala njalo.” Emgqeni wayo womkhiqizo kaFebhuwari, isitolo sesivele sisebenzise amathreyi asephepheni emikhiqizweni yaso yomkhiqizo. I-American supermarket chain Trader Joe's izibophezele ekwehliseni udoti wepulasitiki ngamaphawundi angaphezu kwesigidi. Sebevele benze izinguquko ezibalulekile ekufakweni kwabo, besusa i-styrofoam ekukhiqizeni futhi bayeke ukunikeza izikhwama zepulasitiki. Iketango lase-Australia i-Woolworths alinayo ipulasitiki, okuholele ekuncipheni kokusetshenziswa kwepulasitiki ngo-1% ezinyangeni ezi-80. Kubalulekile ukuthi abathengi baqonde ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwezikhwama zokuthenga ezingasetshenziswa kabusha kungathinta kakhulu inani lepulasitiki elisetshenzisiwe.
Okuhlukile kwepulasitiki
Izitsha zengilazi. Izimbiza neziqukathi ezinobukhulu obuhlukahlukene zingasetshenziswa ukugcina ukudla okomile, kanye nokugcina ukudla osekulungiselelwe esiqandisini.
Izikhwama zamaphepha. Ngaphezu kokuvundisa, izikhwama zephepha zilungele ukugcina amajikijolo njengoba emunca umswakama owedlulele.
Izikhwama zikakotini. Izikhwama zikakotini zingasetshenziswa ukugcina igrosa, kanye nokuyothenga esitolo esikhulu. I-weave evulekile yalezi zinto ivumela imikhiqizo ukuthi iphefumule.
I-wax isula. Abaningi bakhetha ukugoqa kwezinyosi njengenye indlela evumelana nemvelo yefilimu yokudla. Ungathola futhi izinguqulo ze-vegan ezisebenzisa i-soy wax, amafutha kakhukhunathi, ne-resin yesihlahla.
Izitsha zensimbi engagqwali. Iziqukathi ezinjalo azithengiswa kuphela, kodwa futhi zishiywe emikhiqizweni esele idliwe. Isibonelo, kusuka kumakhukhi noma itiye. Banike impilo yesibili!
Amaphedi okudla e-Silicone. I-silicone ayiphenduli ngokudla noma isiphuzo futhi ayikhiqizi noma yikuphi ukukhishwa okuyingozi. Ama-coasters anjalo alungele ukusetshenziselwa izithelo nemifino edliwe ingxenye.
Izikhwama zokugcina i-Silicone. Izikhwama ze-silicone zokugcina zilungele ukugcina okusanhlamvu noketshezi.
Ngaphezu kokusika ipulasitiki, ungakwazi futhi ukugcina imikhiqizo yakho ihlakaniphile ukuze unwebe isikhathi sayo seshalofu futhi ngaleyo ndlela unciphise imfucuza. Kuningi ukudla okugcinwa kangcono endaweni efudumele hhayi emaphaketheni epulasitiki. Isiqandisi singadambisa ukunambitheka kokudla okuningi. Isibonelo, utamatisi kufanele agcinwe ekamelweni lokushisa ukuze alondoloze ukunambitheka kwawo kwemvelo.
ubhanana ingabuye igcinwe ekamelweni lokushisa. Kodwa-ke, kufanele zigcinwe kude nokunye ukudla njengoba zikhiqiza i-ethylene eyenza ezinye izithelo zivuthwe futhi zonakale ngokushesha.
Amapentshisi, ama-nectarines namabhilikosi ingagcinwa ekamelweni lokushisa kuze kube yilapho ivuthiwe, kanye namakhabe namapheya. Imifino ingabuye igcinwe ekamelweni lokushisa. Ngokwesibonelo, ithanga, isitshalo seqanda kanye iklabishi.
Amazambane, ubhatata, u-anyanisi nogalikhi zingagcinwa ebhokisini noma ekhabetheni ukuze bandise isikhathi sabo seshelufu. Kungcono ukugcina amazambane kude no-anyanisi, njengoba ekwazi ukumunca iphunga lika-anyanisi.
Okunye ukudla kudinga isiqandisi kodwa akudingekile ukuthi kukhavwe. Ukudla okuningi kugcina kahle kakhulu ngokujikeleza komoya ovulekile futhi kungafakwa esiqandisini ezitsheni ezivulekile. Okunye ukudla kugcinwa kangcono ezikhwameni zikakotini, njengamajikijolo, i-broccoli, nesilimo esidliwayo esinamagatsha anamanzi.
Ama-Parsnips, izaqathe namatheniphu agcinwe kangcono emazingeni okushisa aphansi.
Ezinye izithelo nemifino kuhlala isikhathi eside esitsheni esingangenisi umoya, ngokuvamile nephepha elimanzi ukuvimbela imikhiqizo ukuthi yome. Lena indlela engcono kakhulu yokugcina i-artichokes, i-fennel, i-garlic eluhlaza, ubhontshisi, i-cherry ne-basil.
