I ka makahiki 2018, ua hoʻololi ʻo Sun Basket i kā lākou mea hoʻolale pahu pahu i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i Sealed Air TempGuard, kahi liner i hana ʻia me ka pepa recycled i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma waena o ʻelua ʻāpana pepa kraft. e ho'ēmi i ka carbon footprint o ka hoʻounaʻana,ʻaʻole e haʻi i ka nui o ka plastic i ka heleʻana,ʻoiai i ka wā maloʻo. Hauʻoli nā mea kūʻai.
He ʻanuʻu maikaʻi loa ia i ka hoʻomau ʻana, akā ke mau nei ka ʻoiaʻiʻo: ʻO ka ʻoihana pahu meaʻai kekahi o nā ʻoihana e-commerce e hilinaʻi mau nei i (nā helu haʻahaʻa) i ka paʻi palaki-ʻoi aku ma mua o kou lawe ʻana i ka home. 'O ka mea ma'amau, hiki iā 'oe ke kū'ai i ka ipu aniani kumino e mau ana no kekahi mau makahiki. Akā, i loko o ka pū'eke mea'ai, loa'a i kēlā me kēia teaspoon o ka mea 'ala a me kēlā me kēia'āpana o ka adobo kānana pono'ī pono'ī, a i kēlā me kēia pō ke hana hou nei'oe i ka pu'upu'u plastic. , hoʻomoʻa ʻoe i kā lākou mea ʻai i hoʻopaʻa ʻia. ʻAʻole hiki ke hala.
ʻOiai ʻo ka hoʻāʻo nui ʻana o Sun Basket e hoʻomaikaʻi i kona kapuaʻi kaiapuni, pono e lawe ʻia nā meaʻai palaho i loko o nā ʻeke plastik. Ua haʻi mai ʻo Sean Timberlake, ka luna hoʻokele waiwai ma Sun Basket, iaʻu ma o ka leka uila: ua hoʻopili ʻia mai nā mea hoʻolako waho e hoʻohana ana i ka polystyrene a me ka polypropylene Layer hui."He ʻenehana maʻamau kēia i hoʻolālā ʻia e hōʻoia i ka maikaʻi o ka meaʻai a me ka palekana."
ʻAʻole kūʻokoʻa kēia hilinaʻi i ka plastic i ka lawe ʻana i ka meaʻai. Hiki i nā mea kūʻai kūʻai E-commerce ke hāʻawi maʻalahi i nā pahu pahu pahu me nā mea recyclable, FSC-certified tissue pepa a me nā ʻīnika soy i hiki ke hoʻokomo ʻia i loko o nā pahu hana hou. nā mea maikaʻi a wahī i nā ipu aniani a i ʻole nā ​​pahu metala i loko o ka huʻa puʻupuʻu e pili ana i ka mushroom a me nā pīkī i hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i ka starch i hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i ka wai. ka ʻoihana e like me nā ʻeke plastik.
Ke kamaʻilio nei wau e pili ana i ka laka zip a i ʻole ka ʻeke plastik branded āu e hoʻohana ai no kāu mau kauoha pūnaewele, nā mea āpau mai nā pahu meaʻai a hiki i ke ʻano a me nā mea pāʻani a me nā mea uila. , ʻAʻole i hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā ʻeke i hoʻohana ʻia no ka hoʻouna ʻana i ka lehulehu, ʻaʻole hoʻi i pāpā ʻia a ʻauhau paha. Akā he pilikia maoli nō.
He 165 biliona mau pūʻolo i hoʻouna ʻia i ka US ma 2017, he nui o ia mau ʻeke ʻeke no ka pale ʻana i nā lole a i ʻole nā ​​​​mea uila a i ʻole nā ​​buffalo steaks. Hōʻike ka Agency i ka hoʻohana ʻana o nā kamaʻāina ʻAmelika ma mua o 380 biliona mau ʻeke plastik a me nā wīwī i kēlā me kēia makahiki.
ʻAʻole ia he pilikia inā loaʻa iā mākou kā mākou ʻōpala, akā nui ka nui o kēia plastik - 8 miliona mau tona i ka makahiki - hele i loko o ke kai, a ʻaʻole maopopo ka poʻe noiʻi i ka manawa a inā paha, e biodegrade maoli ia. ʻOi aku paha ka haki ʻana i loko o nā ʻāpana liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi a liʻiliʻi a paʻakikī loa iā mākou e nānā ʻole. a puni ka honua, ka nui o ka paʻakai kai, a - ma kekahi ʻaoʻao o ka hoʻohālikelike - nā feces kanaka.
Hiki ke hoʻohana hou ʻia nā ʻeke plastik (a no laila ʻaʻole ma ka "papa inoa maikaʻi ʻole" o ka hoʻolālā ʻana o Nestlé e hoʻopau i nā mea hoʻopihapiha), a nui nā mokuʻāina e koi nei i nā hale kūʻai a me nā hale kūʻai maʻalahi e hāʻawi i nā mea kūʻai aku i nā pahu no ka hana hou ʻana i nā ʻeke plastik i hoʻohana ʻia.Akā ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ʻaʻohe mea e hiki ke hana hou ʻia ke ʻole ka makemake o kahi ʻoihana e kūʻai i nā mea hiki ke hoʻohana hou ʻia.Kiola ʻia lākou. ʻO ia ma mua o ka pau ʻana o Kina i ka ʻae ʻana i kā mākou mea hana hou i ka makahiki 2018.
ʻO ka neʻe nui ʻana o ka ʻōpala ʻole he pane ia i kēia pilikia. Hoʻoikaika ka poʻe kākoʻo e hoʻouna ʻole i kekahi mea i ka pae ʻāina ma ke kūʻai ʻana i ka liʻiliʻi;hana hou a me ka compost inā hiki;lawe pū me ʻoe i nā ipu a me nā mea hana hou;a kākoʻo i nā ʻoihana e hāʻawi ana i nā tiers manuahi. Hiki ke hoʻonāukiuki loa i ka wā e kauoha ai kekahi o kēia mau mea kūʻai mai kahi mea i kapa ʻia ʻo sustainable brand a loaʻa iā ia i loko o kahi ʻeke plastik.
"Ua loaʻa wale kāu kauoha a ua hoʻopili ʻia i loko o kahi ʻeke plastik," i pane aku ai kekahi mea hoʻopuka i kā Everlane's Instagram post e hoʻolaha ana i kāna mau alakaʻi "no new plastic".
Hiki i nā hoʻololi liʻiliʻi ke hoʻololi nui, a eia mākou e kōkua. Ke hoʻolauna nei i kā mākou alakaʻi hou ʻole i ka plastik. Makemake ʻoe?
Ma kahi noiʻi 2017 e Packaging Digest a me ka Sustainable Packaging Alliance, ua ʻōlelo ka poʻe loea a me nā mea nona nā inoa i nā nīnau i nīnau nui ʻia e nā mea kūʻai aku a) no ke aha ʻaʻole kūpaʻa kā lākou ʻeke, a b) no ke aha i nui loa ai kā lākou ʻeke.
Mai kaʻu mau kamaʻilio ʻana me nā brand nui a me nā mea liʻiliʻi, ua aʻo au i ka hapa nui o nā hale kūʻai mea kūʻai aku ma waho - a me nā hale lole lole āpau - mai nā hale hana humuhumu liʻiliʻi a hiki i nā hale hana nui me 6,000 poʻe, e hoʻopili i kā lākou huahana i hoʻopau ʻia i loko o ka plastic i koho ʻia.i loko o kahi ʻeke plastik. No ka mea inā ʻaʻole lākou, ʻaʻole e loaʻa nā waiwai iā ʻoe ma nā ʻōlelo āu i noi ai.

ʻO ka noʻonoʻo hope loa no ka moana ka mea nui no United by Blue, kahi lole waho a me kahi hōʻailona hoʻomoana e hoʻohiki nei e wehe i hoʻokahi paona ʻōpala mai nā moana a me nā ala wai no kēlā me kēia huahana i kūʻai ʻia. a me ka emi ʻana o ka pollution, akā he mea ʻino ia no ke kaiapuni, "wahi a Ethan Peck, ka mea kōkua pili i ka lehulehu o Blue.
