ʻO nā kīʻaha kope pepa: nā moku hoʻomau no ka pilina

I ko mākou honua kikohoʻe mahuahua, ka haʻahaʻakīʻaha kope pepaua lawe i ka manaʻo hou ma ke ʻano he mea hiki ke hoʻopaʻa kanaka ma luna o ke kofe.E hele i loko o ka hale ʻaina a i ʻole ke keʻena a ʻike ʻoe i ka poʻe e hoʻopili ana ma luna o nā kīʻaha pepa – kamaʻilio nā hoa, nā hoa hana, a me nā hoaaloha e hopu ana.ʻO ka puʻupuʻu kamaʻāina o nā kīʻaha pepa ʻo ia ke kani o nā pilina i kūkulu ʻia a hānai ʻia.

Ke ulu nui nei nā kīʻaha kofe pepa ma muli o ka piʻi ʻana o ka kaulana o ka kofe, ʻoi aku hoʻi ma waena o nā millennials a me nā hanauna ʻōpio.Wahi a ka National Coffee Association (NCA) anamanaʻo makahiki, 64% o ʻAmelika e inu kofe i kēlā me kēia lā - he ʻeono makahiki kiʻekiʻe.Hoʻokahi i loko o ʻelima mau kīʻaha i ka lā.Ua hōʻike ka Paperboard Packaging Council ma kahi o 4 biliona kīʻaha kofe pepa e hoʻohana ʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki ma US a me Kanada, me ka piʻi ʻana o ka koi e 4.5% i kēlā me kēia makahiki.

Ua lilo nā kīʻaha pepa i mea hoʻohui i ka moʻomeheu kofe no ka mea maʻalahi lākou i ka lawe ʻana a me ka launa pū ʻana.ʻAʻole like me nā kīʻaha a i ʻole nā ​​ʻōmole, ʻae nā kīʻaha pepa māmā akā paʻa i ka poʻe e lawe i ke kofe me lākou i ka wā e hele ana, ke kaʻa ʻana, a i ʻole e noho pū ana.Kōkua lākou i ka mālama ʻana i ka mahana me ka pale ʻana i nā kahe a hiki ke mālama ʻia inā hoʻopiha ʻia me ka wai kokoke e hoʻolapalapa.

Ua ʻike ʻia kahi noiʻi a ka Earthwatch Institute he hapakolu o nā kamaʻilio e pili ana i ke kofe.Hāʻawi nā kīʻaha pepa i mea kūpono no kēia mau pilina, e hiki ai i kahi ʻike kaʻana like.ʻO ko lākou ʻike maʻamau a hōʻoluʻolu i ko mākou mau lima i kā mākou kamaʻilio ʻana e lilo nā kīʻaha iā lākou iho he hōʻailona o nā pilina a mākou e hana ai.

ʻOiai ua ʻāhewa ʻia nā kīʻaha pepa ma ke ʻano he pōʻino kaiapuni, ua hoʻokumu nā ʻoihana i ka hana hoʻomau a me nā papahana hana hou.Nui ka poʻe i kēia manawa e hoʻohana i nā mea hou, biodegradable a hana i nā ʻōpala liʻiliʻi.Nui nā wahi e ʻae i nā kīʻaha pepa no ka hana hou ʻana a me ka compost, a ke puka mai nei nā koho hoʻohana hou.

ʻOiai he hapa liʻiliʻi o ko mākou ola i kēlā me kēia lā, ua lilo nā kīʻaha kope pepa i mea koʻikoʻi ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻoikaika i ka pilina kanaka.Ke hoʻomau nei ka kofe i ka huki ʻana iā mākou, ʻo nā kīʻaha pepa paʻa e hoʻolalelale i nā pilina a me nā pilina e hoʻokanaka ai mākou.Ua lilo ko lākou crinkle i leo hōʻoluʻolu o ka pilina ma kahi honua impersonal.No kā lākou hana i ka hui ʻana i nā kānaka ma luna o ke kofe, ua hoʻokumu nā kīʻaha pepa iā lākou iho he mea nui.ʻO ko lākou wā e hiki mai ana, e like me ka wā e hiki mai ana o nā pilina kanaka, ke nānā aku i ka mālamalama.
