Inhlalakahle yezilwane: Ingena kanjani ipulasitiki olwandle?

Njengemvelo, izilwane nazo zidlala indima ebalulekile emhlabeni wethu. Ukuvikela nokunakekela umhlaba wezilwane nokuvikela amalungelo awo kungumsebenzi wabantu. Abaningi bakholelwa ukuthi abakwazi ukwenza lutho ngenhlalakahle yezilwane. Kepha ikakhulukazi lezi yizinto zansuku zonke nje empilweni, njengokukhawulela ukusetshenziswa kwenyama noma ukugwema ipulasitiki. Ipulasitiki ayiqedi nje kuphela imvelo nolwandle, ibulala nezilwane. Thatha umkhomo. Lezi zinhlobo zezilwane zondla nge-plankton futhi zikwenze izigidi zeminyaka, kusukela ngesikhathi lapho uhlobo lwe-Homo sapiens lwalungakabikho. Ukuba khona kwemikhomo kusengozini namuhla ngoba izilwandle zingcoliswe ngamapulasitiki amaningi.

Ipulasitiki eyenziwe ngabantu futhi elahlwa kude njengodoti ongenamsebenzi ngemuva kokusetshenziswa kanye. Esimweni esihle kakhulu, ipulasitiki isetshenziswa kabusha, esimweni esijwayelekile ipulasitiki ilayishwa elolini bese ihanjiswa ngenqola. Mhlawumbe akekho umthengi oyedwa owaziyo lapho kufakwa khona ipulasitiki engenamsebenzi ngemuva kokusetshenziswa okukodwa. Lo muntu ongasoli uzibiza ngoHomo sapiens, ophiwe ukucabanga, kepha kukho konke okungaphezu kwezidingo zobugovu, benza ngokunganaki. Into esemqoka ishibhile. Lapho ukufakwa kwepulasitiki nebhodlela leplastiki kugcina kungabalulekile. Into esemqoka ukuthi akasekho. Lokhu kubizwa ngokuvakasha kukadoti.

Futhi iloli liyashayela futhi lishayele futhi, esimweni esibi kakhulu, liqonde ethekwini. Umholo wakhe, ongasizi ngalutho, ulayishwa emkhunjini. Kungumkhumbi onesisu esikhulu lapho kulayishwa khona umthwalo weloli lethu kanye namanye amaloli amaningi. Akuthathi isikhathi eside ukulayisha. Bese uvala umnyango, qala injini bese uya kolunye lolwandle lwethu, lapho inqwaba kadoti wepulasitiki namanetha okudoba asevele entanta khona. Ukulayishwa komkhumbi owodwa akusabonakali. Futhi i-flap iyavulwa futhi imfucuza entsha yeplastiki ihlanganiswe nemfucuza yakudala yepulasitiki. Futhi njengoba nje umhlaba uzungeza ilanga, amasondo amaloli ayajika ukuletha umthwalo olandelayo ethekwini ukuze umkhumbi uphume futhi ngesisu esishubile. Into esemqoka ukuthi ibhizinisi elinempahla engenamsebenzi ibhizinisi elihle.

Ngubani osacabanga ngezilwane zasolwandle? Ngubani osacabanga ngomkhomo? Sekuyizigidi zeminyaka izondla ngendlela yokuthi ivule umlomo wayo ngenkathi ibhukuda futhi ihlunge ukudla kwayo emanzini ageleza ngayo. Isebenze iminyaka eyizigidi ezingama-30. Kuze kube yilapho uHomo sapiens ethola izinzuzo zepulasitiki futhi engamvumeli ukuthi ahlakaniphe kakhulu kunokuba abe ngumkhiqizo olahlwayo ngemuva kokusebenzisa kanye. Kusukela lapho, ulwandle selugcwele upulasitiki. Imikhomo ivula imilomo yayo njengoba yenze iminyaka eyizigidi ezingama-30, futhi amanzi, amaplankton noplastiki okusongela impilo yabo manje sekugeleza emzimbeni wabo. Njalo ngonyaka izinkulungwane eziningi zezilwane zasolwandle ziyafa izinsalela zepulasitiki.

Lona ngumsebenzi kaHomo sapiens: i-ruble iyagingqika, kodwa isizathu nomthwalo wemfanelo sekufakiwe ekhefini laphakade. Ukuchuma kwangempela kunikezwa kuphela lapho abantu bekwazi ukunika amandla izilwane zasolwandle ukuthi zizondle ngokufanele futhi. Yingakho ngincenga abantu ukuthi bayeke ukusebenzisa ipulasitiki noma baphinde basebenzise le nto 100%.
