Abantu abaningi bazizwa benesidingo esiphuthumayo sokunciphisa umthelela wabo emhlabeni ngenxa yemiphumela eyinhlekelele yokuguquka kwesimo sezulu kanye nokukhishwa kwemithombo.

Isu elilodwa ukwehlisa i-carbon footprint yakho, okuyisilinganiso sokukhishwa kwakho kwegesi engcolisa izinga lokushisa hhayi nje kuphela ukushayela izimoto noma ukusebenzisa ugesi kepha nokukhetha indlela yokuphila, njengezimpahla ozigqokayo nokudla okudlayo.

Yize kunezindlela eziningi zokunciphisa i-carbon footprint yakho, ukwenza ushintsho ekudleni kuyindawo enhle yokuqala.

Eqinisweni, olunye ucwaningo lukhombisa ukuthi ukuhambisa ukudla kwaseNtshonalanga kuphethini yokudla okusimeme kakhulu kunganciphisa ukukhishwa kwegesi engcolisayo ngo-70% nokusetshenziswa kwamanzi ngo-50% ().

Nazi izindlela ezi-9 ezilula zokunciphisa i-carbon footprint yakho ngokukhetha ukudla nezindlela zokuphila.

1. Yeka ukumosa ukudla

Imfucuza yokudla inegalelo elikhulu ekukhishweni komoya ongcolile. Lokho kungenxa yokuthi ukudla okulahlwayo kuyabola ekugcwalisweni komhlaba futhi kukhipha i-methane, igesi yokushisa okunamandla ikakhulukazi (, 3, 4).

Esikhathini esiyiminyaka eyikhulu, i-methane ilinganiselwa ukuthi inomthelela ophindwe izikhathi ezingama-34 njenge-carbon dioxide ekufudumaleni kwembulunga yonke (5, 6).

Njengamanje kulinganiselwa ukuthi umuntu ngamunye emhlabeni uchitha amakhilogremu angama-428-858 wokudla ngonyaka, ngokwesilinganiso ().

Ukunciphisa imfucuza yokudla kungenye yezindlela ezilula zokwehlisa i-carbon footprint yakho. Ukuhlela ukudla ngaphambi kwesikhathi, ukonga okusele, nokuthenga kuphela okudingayo kuhamba ibanga elide ekongeni ukudla.

2. Bopha upulasitiki

Ukusebenzisa ipulasitiki elincane kuyingxenye ebalulekile yokushintshela kwindlela yokuphila enobungani bemvelo.

Ukugoqwa kwepulasitiki, izikhwama zepulasitiki, kanye neziqukathi zokugcina zepulasitiki kuvame ukusetshenziswa ngabathengi kanye nemboni yokudla ngokufanayo ukupakisha, ukuthumela, ukugcina nokuhambisa ukudla.

Noma kunjalo, ipulasitiki yokusebenzisa kanye eyodwa inegalelo elikhulu ekukhishweni komoya opholile (, 9).

Nawa amanye amathiphu wokusebenzisa ipulasitiki engaphansi:

• Izikhwama zepulasitiki ze-Forego nokugoqwa kwepulasitiki lapho uthenga umkhiqizo omusha.
• Letha izikhwama zakho zokudla esitolo.
• Phuza emabhodleleni amanzi avuselelekayo - futhi ungathengi amanzi asemabhodleleni.
• Gcina ukudla ezitsheni zengilazi.
• Thenga ukudla okukhiphayo okuncane, njengoba kuvame ukupakishwa eStyrofoam noma epulasitiki.
