Ndacinga ukuba ndenza kakuhle kakhulu ngemikhwa endinayo ye-eco-ndisebenzisa istraw sentsimbi, ndizisa iibhegi zam kwivenkile yokutya, kwaye kunokwenzeka ukuba ndilibale izihlangu zam zokuzilolonga kunebhotile yam yamanzi enokuphinda isebenze xa ndisiya ejimini-de incoko yamva nje nomntu usebenza naye. Uthe uninzi lwenkunkuma yomthengi luvela ekutyeni nasekupakisheni; Uncedo lweebhegi ezitywiniweyo, ukuncamathelisa, kunye neplastiki esetyenziswa kanye yayiyinkunkuma ephuphumayo kwaye ibeka uxinzelelo kwimithombo yethu. Ndenze uphando ngakumbi kwaye ndothuka xa ndafunda ukuba i-avareji yaseMelika yenza i-4.4 yeepawundi zenkunkuma ngemini (!) Iiponti ezi-1.5 kuphela ezinokuphinda zisetyenziswe kwakhona okanye kwenziwe umgquba. Kutshanje, kwafunyanwa ibhegi yeplastiki eMariana Trench, eyona ndawo inzulu yolwandle abantu abangakwaziyo nokufikelela kuyo. Ukufunda ukuba iintsalela zeplastiki zifunyanwa kwindawo ekude kakhulu, indawo engafikelelekiyo kwihlabathi yayivula amehlo, ngoko ke, ndagqiba ekubeni ndithathe umngeni wokudala inkunkuma encinci kangangoko kunokwenzeka ... ubuncinane ngeveki enye.

Usuku 1

Ndiyazi ukuya kulo mngeni ukuba isitshixo sempumelelo yam kukulungela. Ne Ingonyama King Ingoma inamathele entlokweni yam, ndipakishe ibhegi yam yentsasa ngentsasa yokuqala kunye nesidlo sam sasemini, ilaphu lothwathwa, umququ wentsimbi, ikomityi yekofu yokuhamba, neebhegi ezimbalwa ezinokuphinda zisetyenziswe. Ukutya isidlo sakusasa mva nje, bendiyithanda iyogathi yevegan kunye negranola kodwa isikhongozeli seplastiki senza olo khetho ngaphandle kombuzo, ndiye ndabamba ibhanana xa ndiphuma ngomnyango. Ndithenge ikofu kwityesi yam yokuhamba ndaza ndaya kwidesika yam kungekho nkunkuma. Impumelelo!

Emva komsebenzi, ndamisa ngu-Whole Foods, iingxowa ezinokusetyenziswa kwakhona kwi-tow. Okokuqala misa: ukuvelisa icandelo. Ngokwesiqhelo ndiceba ukutya kwam ngaphambi kokuba ndingene evenkileni kodwa bendingazi ukuba izakuba yeyiphi imigibe, ke ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndiyixhase. Ndathatha iilamuni, iiapile, iibhanana, itswele, igreen pepper, neetumato. Ekuphela kwenkunkuma eyadalwayo yayizincamathelisi—amanqaku. I-tahini ebiza kakhulu-kuba-i-glass-jar ye-tahini yongezwa kwinqwelo kwaye emva koko ndaya kwindlela eya kwimigqomo emininzi.

Bendize neengqayi zeglasi ezimbalwa ezineziciko zale meko. Ndilinganise izikhongozeli zam phambi kokuba ndiqale ukuzalisa i-pearl couscous kunye neembotyi ze-garbanzo. Ndaphinda ndalinganisa ubunzima kodwa andizange ndifumane indlela yokususa ubunzima bengqayi. Ndabamba umqeshwa ukuba ndichaze ukuba ndiyayiphepha iplastiki kwaye iingqayi zam zeglasi zazinobunzima obuphantse baba sisiqingatha seepawundi ngaphezulu kwezi zevenkile kwaye ndifuna uncedo lwakhe lokuprinta ileyibhile yamaxabiso. Wacaphuka kakhulu kukuba ndingasebenzisi nje iibhafu zeplastiki ezincinci ezibonelelwe yivenkile. Ayisiyo yonke inqaku lemigqomo emininzi yokuphepha iplastiki? Ndacinga ngaphakathi. Ekugqibeleni, wathi ukuphuma kunokuthi kukwazi ukunceda njengoko wayebaleka. Isifundo esifundwayo: Ayinguye wonke umntu ongumdlalo wenani lomzamo weqela wenkunkuma efunekayo. (Eyeleleneyo: Indlela yoKutya okuNyuswayo kumiliselwe kwiNkunkuma)

Owona mqobo mkhulu ekudaleni inkunkuma ngelixa ivenkile yokuthenga yayiyinyama kunye nobisi. Ngaphandle kwe-6 yeedola ezisi-6 ngeyogathi yobugcisa enye kwingqayi yeglasi (ndizama inkunkuma eyi-zero, hayi i-zero balance kwi-akhawunti yam yebhanki), bekungekho iyogathi ingekho kwizikhongozeli zeplastiki kwaye akukho yoghurts esekwe kwisityalo nakweyiphi na. ubungakanani obukhulu kunenkonzo nganye. Itshizi nayo ibingenakwenzeka ukuba ingafumaneki isongelwe nge-saran okanye ngengxowa yeplastiki. Esona sisombululo se-eco-friendly endisibonayo kukuthenga iibhloko, endaweni ye-pre-shredded, ngobukhulu obukhulu obukhoyo. Ndithenge i-chunk enkulu yetshizi yendawo yebhokhwe kwaye ndiceba ukubeka isiqwenga sokupakisha kwisitya sam senkunkuma. Misa okokugqibela kolu hambo lokutya olungapheliyo: i-counter counter.Apho ndaqonda ukuba khange ndicinge ukuzisa isikhongozeli senyama (i-OMG ukucwangciswa kwangaphambili kwakudingeka kuhambo olunye lokuzithengela ukuya kuthenga ukutya), ndathenga iponti enye yenkukhu enencasa yesoseji kwaye ndibukele abasebenzi beyisongele ephepheni. ibhokisi ethi yenziwe kwiphepha elisele lisetyenziswe ngokutsha.

Ngaphezulu kweyure kunye nee-60 zeedola kamva, ndiyenzile ngaphandle kwe-Whole Foods ndingakhange ndiphazamiseke kwaye ndaphefumla ukukhululeka. Endaweni yokubetha iiphaseji ndithatha into endiyifunayo, kuye kwafuneka ndiphicothe ngenyameko isigqibo ngasinye kunye nenani lodoti elinokuthi lenze okanye lingazukudala nokuba ukhetho lwam lwaluchanekile okanye alulunganga (ngaphaya kwempilo yabo).

Ngentsasa elandelayo kwakungoMgqibelo ke ndahamba ndaya kwiFama yeMarike ekufuphi nendlu yam. Ndithenge iitapile ezibomvu, i-kale, iradishi, iminqathe kunye namaqanda endawo. Amaqanda afika kwisitya sekhadibhodi esinokukrazulwa sibe ziingceba kunye ne-compost. Ngelixa ndikwiMarike yoMfama, ndaye ndafunda ukuba banemigqomo yomgquba yoluntu (kwaye kufuneka ugcine umgquba efrijini okanye kwisikhenkcezisi ukunqanda amavumba icky).

Ngolo rhatya ndiye ndaya kusela nabahlobo bam. Ndifumene i-tap ye-IPA kwiglasi kwaye ndihlawule ikheshi-aka akukho risiti yokuyityikitya kwaye akukho risithi iprintelwe mna. Sibuphelisile ubusuku ngokumisa i-lavender rosemary ice cream-ii-cones FTW. Usuku oluyimpumelelo kunye nenkunkuma enguziro!

Usuku 3

ICawe ihlala iyimini yam yokupheka nokucoca. Nditya i-muffins yeqanda esele yenziwe kunye neetumato, itswele, ipepile kunye noshizi webhokhwe. Isaladi ye-kale eyenziwe nge-pearl couscous, iitumato, i-radishes, kunye ne-vinaigrette (evela kwisikhongozeli seglasi-natch). Iitapile ezibomvu ezigcadiweyo kunye nesoseji yenkukhu yaba sisidlo sangokuhlwa. Isiqhamo esitsha kunye nebhetshi enkulu eyenziwe ngokwenziwe nge-lemon-garlic hummus kunye neekherothi zokuntywila zinokutya okulula ukuba bendilambile. Isilumkiso seSpoiler: Ndityile ndisempilweni kule veki iphelileyo kunokuba bendinayo kwiiveki ezininzi ezidlulileyo kuba kuye kwafuneka nditye oko ndikutyayo. Kwakungekho silingo, okanye kunoko andizange ndinikezele kwisilingo, ukuvula ingxowa yeetshiphusi okanye ukutya kwaseThai kuhanjiswe emva kosuku olunzima. (Idibeneyo: Ukutya-UkuLungiselela iiLunches kunokuGcina phantse i-30 yeedola ngeveki)

Ukucoca indlu yam kwaba yenye ingxaki. Ngelixa ukupakishwa kwezinto zokucoca ngokwendalo ngokuchasene neekhemikhali kufana ngokufanayo, iimveliso eziluhlaza zihlala zenziwe ngokuzinzileyo kwaye zisebenzisa izinto ezinokuboliswa ziintsholongwane. Iimveliso zokucoca zendalo zikwasebenzisa izixhobo ezinokuhlaziywa ezinokunceda izibonelelo zomhlaba eziwohlokayo ezingavuselelekiyo (njengepetroleum). Kulo mngeni, ibhotile yeplastiki ibhotile yeplastiki, kodwa impembelelo yokutshintshela kwimveliso yokucoca eluhlaza inenzuzo enkulu kwiplanethi yethu kwixesha elide. Ngoku kwabonakala njengexesha elilungileyo njengaye nawuphi na ukwenza utshintsho ndiye ndathenga isitshizi sendalo yonke, isibulala-zintsholongwane esenziwe ngeoyile ye-thyme eyayithembisa ukubulala iipesenti ezingama-99.99 zeentsholongwane, kwaye ngelixa ndilapho-iphepha lendlu yangasese elenziwe kwiphepha elihlaziyiweyo. .

Isicoceko sokutshiza kunye ne-rag bezikulungele ukusula iikhawuntari kunye nokususa ukutya okungafunekiyo. Ibhonasi: ivumba le-mint lenze ikhitshi lam livumba ah-mazing xa kuthelekiswa nevumba elincinanana lokufafaza okusetyenziselwa iblitshi endikuqhelileyo. Ndasebenzisa isibulali-ntsholongwane kwigumbi lokuhlambela kwaye ndothuswa yindlela esebenza ngayo. Ukuba ndinyanisekile, ndiza kubambelela kwiimveliso zemveli kwizinto ezifana nendlu yangasese kuba kufuneka ndithembe ukuba icocekile ngokwenene, kodwa izinto zendalo yonke zabonakala zisebenza ngokunjalo.

Iintsuku ze-4, 5 ne-6

Ekuqhubekeni kweveki ndafunda ukuba ezona zinto zinzima ukuzikhumbula yayiziindlela ezendeleyo. Ndiqhube kakuhle ngokutya ukutya kwam kwangaphambili, isidlo sasemini esingenankunkuma, kodwa kuya kufuneka ndizikhumbuze ukuba ndibambe intsimbi, ngokuchasene neplastiki, izinto zesilivere kwindawo yokutyela yeofisi. Kwigumbi lokuhlambela, kwafuneka ndizame ngamandla ukusebenzisa isomisi sesandla endaweni yokubamba iitawuli zamaphepha. Ezi zigqibo bezingenzima okanye zibiza imali eninzi ukuzenza kodwa kuye kwafuneka ndizikhumbuze ngenyathelo lam ngalinye lokwenza ukhetho lwe-eco-abazi.

Ukungena kulo mngeni, ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndingatshintshi yonke imveliso yobuhle yohlobo oluhle ngakumbi lwe-eco. Ndinezizathu ezimbalwa zoku: eyokuqala ndandingafuni ukuyikhupha ngokupheleleyo i-akhawunti yam yebhanki (ukunyaniseka apha). Okwesibini yayikukuba, ngelixa ndicinga ukuba ukupakishwa kwishishini lobuhle kungumba, ndigqitha ngendlela yezikhongozeli zeyogathi kwiveki kunokuba bendisenza isithambisi okanye isixhobo sokuthambisa.

Ngapha koko, ngeli xesha lomceli mngeni weveki yonke, andikhange ndisebenzise nenye into entle- ye-eco-friendly okanye ngenye indlela. (Ubhengezo olupheleleyo: Ndingumhleli wobuhle kwaye ndingumnikazi / ndivavanya i-LOT yeemveliso). Phantse phakathi evekini, umhlobo ubuze ukuba ndiyayitshintsha na iplastikhi yam, engenakuphinda isetyenziselwe ukuphinda isebenze, engaboliyo, egcwalisayo, egcwalisa inkunkuma, enokubakho ibrashi yamazinyo egcwele ibhaktiriya ukuze ibe noqalo oluzinzileyo ngokupheleleyo. Kwintloko yam ndathi, f * ck, nditsho nebrashi yamazinyo iphumile ukuze indifumane. Xa sele kutshiwo, indlela yam yobuhle yeyona ndawo ilandelayo ebomini bam endifuna ukuyiphatha. Okwangoku ndivavanya iibar zeshampu eqinileyo, indawo yokuhlamba umzimba epakishwe ngephepha, kunye neepads zomqhaphu eziphinda zisetyenziswe ukukhankanya ezimbalwa. Kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo ndatshintsha ndazisula ndasusa ibhalsamu ukuze ndisuse izithambiso kwaye mandikuxelele ioyile enyibilikayo kunye nelaphu elishushu lokutshisa i-mascara kuyanelisa njengokukhupha ibra yakho ekupheleni kosuku.

Usuku 7

Ngomhla wokugqibela, bendijonge kakhulu ikofu ebandayo yeStarbucks kwaye bendibaleka emsebenzini. Ndiza kubeka indlela yam yoku-odola phambili ukuze ndibambe umceli mngeni kuba awukwazi ukusebenzisa eyakho imagi, kodwa namhlanje ndiye ndayeka kwaye ndayalela kwangaphambili ikofu ye-venti iced ukuba ilinde apho. It. Ngaba. Kufanelekile. It. (Ewe, ndinomlutha wekofu kancinci.) Ndiye ndakhumbula ukusebenzisa istraw yam yesinyithi nangona. Inkqubela phambili! (Idibeneyo: Iimpawu eziMnandi eziya kukugcina u-Hydrated kunye neNdalo engqongileyo)

Iyonke inkunkuma yam yeveki: Isisongeli soshizi, sivelise izincamathelisi, iilebhile ezivela kwisaladi yokunxiba kunye ne-tahini, ukusongelwa kwephepha kwinyama, izicwili ezimbalwa (ndizamile kodwa ukusebenzisa i-hankie ayindifanelanga), kunye nekomityi ye-venti Starbucks.

Iingcamango Zokugqibela

Ngelixa ndiqokelela inkunkuma yam esityeni kwaye ndibeka ipiks kwigram ukubonisa iziphumo zomceli mngeni wam weveki enye, andicingi ukuba ngumboniso opheleleyo weveki yenkunkuma. Ayibonisi zixhobo zisetyenzisiweyo (kunye nenkunkuma eyenziweyo) ukwenza izinto endizifunayo ukuze ndidlule kule veki. Ayibonisi iibhokisi kunye nokusonga i-bubble esetyenziselwa ukuhambisa izinto. Kwaye ngelixa ndikuthintele konke ukuthenga kwi-Intanethi kunye nokuthatha iveki kuba bendisazi ukuba kuza kuza iiplastikhi, iibhokisi kunye nenkunkuma engenakuphepheka, andinakuthembisa ndiza zange Ukutya okungenamthungo kwaseTshayina okanye ukubeka iodolo enkulu yeNordstrom ukuba ithunyelwe kum kwakhona (hayi, ewe, andinakusenza eso sithembiso).

Kananjalo andicingi ukuba sinokuba neengxoxo ezinyanisekileyo malunga neplanethi kunye nozinzo ngaphandle kokuthetha ngendlovu esegumbini: Ndinemali yokuthenga izixhobo ezinokuphinda zisetyenziswe, izinto eziphilayo, imveliso yasekhaya, kunye nezithako ezingalungiswanga. Ndikwanalo nexesha lasimahla lokugqibezela iiyure zophando ngaphambi kokuqala, yiya kwiivenkile ezimbini ngeveki enye, kunye nokulungiselela ukutya konke ukutya okutsha endikuthengileyo. Ndinethamsanqa lokuhlala kwisiXeko saseNew York ngobuninzi beevenkile zokutya kunye neemarike zabalimi kumgama wokuhamba. Lonke eli lungelo lithetha ukuba ndinethuba lokuphonononga inkunkuma yokuphila ngaphandle kokubeka esichengeni imali yam okanye iimfuno zam ezisisiseko.

Ngelixa uzinzo sisihloko esibalulekileyo kwihlabathi lethu langoku, ayinako ukuqhawuka kumalungelo kunye nokungalingani kuluntu lwethu. Esi sisiqwenga nje esinye sengxaki enkulu yokufikeleleka kokutya okungacocwanga kweli lizwe. Ubume bakho bezoqoqosho, ubuhlanga, kunye nendawo akufuneki kunyanzelise ukufikelela kwakho kwizidlo ezisempilweni. Eli nyathelo linye: ukufikelela kwizinto ezifikelelekayo, ezasekhaya, ezintsha ziya kunciphisa inkunkuma eyenziwe, yonyuse umquba kunye nokurisayikilisha, kwaye ibengcono imigangatho yethu yezempilo eMelika.

Into endithemba ukuyifumana kulo mceli mngeni kukuba usuku ngalunye kunye nesenzo ngasinye kukhetho. Injongo ayikokuphelelisa; enyanisweni, ukugqibelela kuyinto engenakwenzeka. Olu luhlobo olugqithileyo lokuphila olulungele ukuphilisana kwendalo-kanye njengokuba ubungenakubaleka umdyarho emva kokubaleka enye ijikeleza ibhloko, kuyaphambana ukucinga ukuba ungazimela emva kweveki enye yenkunkuma eyi0. Awudingi ukwenza inkunkuma engaphantsi kune-one-mason-jar ngonyaka ukuze uncede iplanethi yethu, kodwa ukuqwalasela ngakumbi izigqibo zakho kunokuhamba umgama omde. Inyathelo ngalinye losana-ukuzisa ibhotile yamanzi egcwalisekayo endaweni yokuthenga iplastikhi ngalo lonke ixesha lokuzilolonga, ukusebenzisa isomisi sesandla endaweni yamaphetshana ephepha, okanye nokutshintshela kwikomityi yokuya exesheni-kuyaqokelelana kwaye kusondeza umhlaba wethu inyathelo elinye kufutshane nokuphila ngokuzinzileyo.
