Phantsi komthetho omtsha wesixeko oza kuqala ukusebenza nge-15 kaJulayi, iindawo zokutyela zaseLaguna Beach azisenakusebenzisa iplastiki esetyenziswa kanye kuphela xa kupakishwa ukutya.
Ukuvalwa kwale nkqubo kwakuyinxalenye yomthetho obanzi owaziswa njengenxalenye yeSicwangciso soKhuseleko loBumelwane kunye nokusiNgqongileyo kwaye wapasiswa yiBhunga leSixeko ngomhla we-18 kuMeyi ngevoti ye-5-0.
Le mithetho mitsha ayivumeli izinto ezifana neStyrofoam okanye izikhongozeli zeplastiki, iistraw, iiblender, iikomityi kunye nezixhobo zokutya kubathengisi bokutya, kuquka kungekuphela nje iindawo zokutyela kodwa neevenkile kunye neemarike zokutya ezithengisa ukutya okulungisiweyo. Emva kwengxoxo, ibhunga lesixeko litshintshe umthetho ukuze libandakanye iingxowa zokutya kunye nemikhono yeplastiki. Lo mthetho awugubungeli iziqholo zeziselo zeplastiki kuba okwangoku akukho ndlela ifanelekileyo yokusetyenziswa kweplastiki.
Lo mthetho mtsha, owaqalwa ngamalungu eBhunga leSixeko lokuZinzisa iNdalo ngokubambisana neSixeko, uyinxalenye yephulo elikhulayo lokuthintela ukusetyenziswa kweplastiki enye ukunciphisa inkunkuma elunxwemeni, kwiindlela nakwiipaki. Ngokubanzi, eli nyathelo liza kunceda ekunciphiseni utshintsho lwemozulu njengoko lutshintshela kwizikhongozeli ezingezizo ioyile.
Amagosa esixeko aqaphele ukuba oku akuyonto ithintela ukusetyenziswa kweplastiki esetyenziswa kanye kuphela kwisixeko. Abemi abayi kuthintelwa ukusebenzisa iplastiki esetyenziswa kanye kuphela kwipropati yabucala, kwaye lo mthetho ucetywayo awuyi kuthintelwa iivenkile zokutya ekuthengiseni izinto ezisetyenziswa kanye kuphela.
Ngokomthetho, “nabani na ongaphumeleliyo ukuthobela nayiphi na imfuneko unokuba yinxalenye yokwaphulwa komthetho okanye axhomekeke kwi-ajenda yolawulo.” aze afune imfundo. “Ukuvalwa kweglasi elunxwemeni kube yimpumelelo. Kuya kuthatha ixesha ukufundisa nokufundisa uluntu. Ukuba kuyimfuneko, siza kugqiba inkqubo yokunyanzelisa umthetho nesebe lamapolisa.”
Amaqela okusingqongileyo asekuhlaleni, kuquka iSurfers Foundation, ancome ukuvalwa kwezikhongozeli zokutya zeplastiki ezisetyenziswa kanye njengoloyiso.
“ILaguna Beach yindawo entle kwezinye izixeko,” utshilo umphathi weSurfers uChad Nelson kwingqungquthela kaMeyi 18. “Kwabo bathi kunzima kwaye kubulala ishishini, kunemiphumo emibi nakwezinye izixeko.”
Umnini we-sawmill uCary Redfearn uthe uninzi lwabarhwebi beevenkile sele besebenzisa izikhongozeli zokutya ezinobuhlobo nokusingqongileyo. I-Lumberyard isebenzisa izikhongozeli zeplastiki ezisetyenzisiweyo zeBottlebox kwiisaladi kunye nezikhongozeli zephepha kwizidlo ezishushu. Uqaphele ukuba amaxabiso eempahla ezingezizo zeplastiki anyuke kakhulu.
“Akukho mathandabuzo ukuba utshintsho lunokwenzeka,” utshilo uRedfearn. “Sifunde ukuthatha iingxowa zelaphu sizise evenkileni yokutya. Singakwenza oko. Sifanele”.
Izikhongozeli zokutya ezisetyenziselwa izinto ezininzi zezona zilandelayo zinokwenzeka kwaye ziluhlaza ngakumbi. URedfern uthe iZuni, indawo yokutyela edumileyo eSan Francisco, iqhuba inkqubo yovavanyo esebenzisa izikhongozeli zesinyithi eziphinda zisetyenziswe eziziswa ziindwendwe kwindawo yokutyela.
ULindsey Smith-Rosales, umnini weNirvana kunye nompheki, uthe: “Ndiyavuya ukubona oku. Indawo yam yokutyela ibikwiBhunga leShishini eliLuhlaza kangangeminyaka emihlanu. Yile nto kanye ekufuneka yenziwe yiyo yonke indawo yokutyela.”
Umphathi weshishini laseMoulin uBryn Mohr uthe: “Siyayithanda iLaguna Beach kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo siza kwenza konke okusemandleni ethu ukuthobela umthetho omtsha wesixeko. Zonke izinto zethu zesilivere zenziwe ngezinto ezisekwe kwiitapile ezinomgquba. Kwiikhonteyina zethu zokutya, sisebenzisa iibhokisi kunye nezikhonteyina zesuphu.
Esi sigqibo siza kuphumelela ukufundwa kwesibini kwintlanganiso yebhunga ngomhla we-15 kweyeSilimela kwaye kulindeleke ukuba siqale ukusebenza ngomhla we-15 kweyeKhala.
Olu hambo lukhusela kwaye lukhusela unxweme lwethu oluziikhilomitha ezisixhenxe kwinkunkuma yeplastiki kwaye lusenza sikwazi ukuba ngumzekelo. Ihambo entle eLaguna.
