I ka makahiki 2018, ua hoʻololi ʻo Sun Basket i kā lākou mea hoʻoheheʻe pahu pahu i hoʻopaʻa hou 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 mau meaʻai prepackaged. 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 mea i ʻike ʻole ʻia e nā mea kūʻai aku ʻo ke kahe ʻana o nā lole ma o ke kaulahao lako," wahi a Dana Davis, ka hope pelekikena o ka hoʻomau, ka huahana a me ka hoʻolālā pāʻoihana no ka brand fashion Mara Hoffman. a me Kina.” Ke pau, pono lākou e hele i kahi kaʻa kaʻa, kahi pahu hoʻouka, kahi kaʻa kaʻa ʻē aʻe, kahi pahu, a laila kaʻa kaʻa. ʻAʻohe ala e hoʻohana ai i kahi mea wai. ʻO ka mea hope loa i makemake ʻia e kekahi, ʻo ia ka puʻupuʻu i pohō a hoʻololi i nā lole ʻōpala.
No laila, inā ʻaʻole i loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi ʻeke plastik i kou kūʻai ʻana, ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo ʻaʻole i loaʻa ma mua, ʻoiai ua wehe paha kekahi ma mua o ka hōʻea ʻana o kāu ukana.
ʻOiai ʻo Patagonia, kahi hui i ʻike ʻia no kona hopohopo kaiapuni, ke kūʻai aku nei i nā lole i hana ʻia mai nā ʻōmole plastik i hana hou ʻia mai ka makahiki 1993, a ua hoʻopili ʻia kona mau lole i loko o nā ʻeke ʻeke. mai mua o 2014, i kona wā i paʻi ai i nā hopena o ka hihia hihia ʻo Patagonia ma nā ʻeke plastik.(Spoiler alert: pono lākou.)
"He hui nui mākou, a he ʻōnaehana kāʻei conveyor paʻakikī mākou i kā mākou kikowaena hoʻolaha ma Reno," wahi āna. Piʻi lākou, iho lākou i lalo, hoʻopalapala lākou, hana lākou i ka iho ʻekolu kapuaʻi. Pono mākou e mālama i ka huahana. "
ʻO nā ʻeke plastik ka koho maikaʻi loa no ka hana. He māmā lākou, maikaʻi a maʻalahi hoʻi. Eia kekahi (a ʻike paha ʻoe i kēia mea kupanaha) ʻoi aku ka haʻahaʻa o ka GHG i nā ʻeke pepa ma mua o nā ʻeke pepa i nā loiloi pōʻai ola e ana i ka hopena o ke kaiapuni o kahi huahana. ʻO kona pōʻaiapuni holoʻokoʻa. Akā ke nānā ʻoe i ka mea e hāʻule ai kāu ʻeke i loko o ke kai - kohola make, honu i hoʻopaʻa ʻia - maikaʻi, ʻino ke ʻano o ka plastic.
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. Hoʻoponopono lākou i kēia ʻoiaʻiʻo kūpono ʻole ma ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā kauoha e-commerce mai nā ʻeke plastik maʻamau i nā ʻeke pepa kraft a me nā pahu me 100% recyclable content ma mua o ka hoʻouna ʻana i nā mea kūʻai aku.
I ka wā i loaʻa ai i ka United by Blue ko lākou kikowaena kikowaena ma Philadelphia, ua hoʻouna lākou i nā ʻeke plastik i hoʻohana ʻia i TerraCycle, kahi lawelawe hoʻoili leka uila āpau. t hahai i kā lākou mau ʻōlelo aʻo, a hoʻomaka nā mea kūʻai aku e loaʻa i nā ʻeke plastik i loko o nā pūʻolo.
I kēia manawa, me ka nui o nā ʻeke plastik i hoʻohana ʻia i ka US, ʻo nā lawelawe hoʻokele ʻōpala e mālama i ka hana hou ʻana i nā kikowaena hoʻokō e hoʻopaʻa nei i nā ʻeke plastik a loaʻa iā lākou kahi mea makemake e kūʻai.
Lawe nā hale kūʻai ponoʻī a me nā hoa kūʻai nui o Patagonia i nā huahana mai loko mai o nā ʻeke plastik, hoʻopaʻa iā lākou i loko o nā pahu hoʻouna, a hoʻihoʻi iā lākou i kā lākou kikowaena hoʻolaha Nevada, kahi e kaomi ʻia ai lākou i loko o nā ʻeke pahu pahu ʻehā kapuaʻi a hoʻouna ʻia i The Trex, Nevada wahi. , ka mea i hoʻolilo iā lākou i mea hoʻopololei hou a me nā lako waho.
Akā, pehea ka wā e wehe ai ʻoe i ka ʻeke plastik mai kāu kauoha?” Ke hele pololei nei i ka mea kūʻai aku, ʻo ia ka paʻakikī, "wahi a Foster."
ʻO ka mea kūpono, e lawe mai nā mea kūʻai aku i nā ʻeke e-commerce i hoʻohana ʻia me kā lākou ʻeke berena a me nā ʻeke kūʻai i ko lākou hale kūʻai kūloko, kahi i loaʻa ai kahi wahi hōʻiliʻili. nā mīkini mea kanu.

No nā kumu i luna aʻe nei, i ka manawa i hoʻoholo ai ʻo Hoffman i ʻehā makahiki i hala aku nei e hoʻomau i kāna hōʻiliʻili lole holoʻokoʻa, ua nānā ʻo Davis, ka VP o ka hoʻomau ʻana o Mara Hoffman, i nā ʻeke compostable i hana ʻia mai nā mea kanu.

ʻO nā mea manawaleʻa o ke keʻena ʻo Mara Hoffman ma ke kikowaena compost ma New York City i hiki iā lākou ke ʻike i nā pilikia mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana. ʻōlelo aʻo i ʻekolu mau ʻōlelo - pono ia i nā sticker a i ʻole ka lipine.
