Iilwandle ezintle kakhulu zehlabathi ziza kudala zibe zihlazo
Kungekudala, inqaku le-viral liveze ezinye iindaba ezimangalisa malunga nenani leplastiki kwizilwandle zomhlaba. Ngokutsho kwe-Ocean Conservancy, ngaphezu kwe-50 pesenti yeplastiki kwizilwandle zethu zivela kumazwe amahlanu kuphela-kwaye onke ahlala e-Asia.
Ezi ndaba zibuhlungu-ikakhulukazi ekubeni ukusetyenziswa kweplastiki e-Asia kusekwe phantse kabini kwiminyaka embalwa ezayo-kodwa kuyanzima kwakhona: Amazwe amaninzi kuloluhlu, ebonisa ukuba unxweme loluninzi oluninzi lwehlabathi, lusekhaya nakwezinye mabhankane aphakamileyo kakhulu emhlabeni.

KwiChina
Ngezixeko ezigqithiseleyo ezifana neBeijing, ezichazwe apha, akumangalisi ukuba ulwandle lwaseChina luphakathi kweyona ndawo ihlambuluke kakhulu emhlabeni. URobert Schrader Zininzi, kodwa kungekhona zonke. Ngaphandle kweSanya, kwisiqithi esincinci saseHainan, izibini zaseChina asinanto yokubhala ekhaya malunga. Enyanisweni, ndikhumbula ukutyelela elunxwemeni ngaphandle kweShanghai xa ndahlala khona kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, kwaye ndothuswa kungekuphela komlinganiselo wengca emanzini, kodwa ngombala wesihlabathi-phantse emnyama-kunye neqhwa ulwandle olumdaka, oluluhlobo oluphuzi ngokuqhelekileyo lubona kwindlu yangasese. Ngelishwa, iilwandle zaseChina zabonakala zilungele ukuhamba ngakumbi kwaye zingcono, ngoko ke ukuba uthe tyelela uBukumkani boMbindi ngexesha lehlobo, qiniseka ukuba ubhala ihotele eneziko elichithwe.

Indoneshiya
Stuart Dee / Getty Izithombe Ezinye zamabhitshi ase-Indonesia ziphela ngokugqithisa. Ngokomzekelo, iziqithi zikaRaja Ampat ziphakathi kweeparadesi zehlabathi zokugqibela, inyaniso ehlawulwa kakhulu kubuhle bayo bemvelo njengendawo yokuhlala yodwa, ebenza bahlale bekhuselekile kwiindawo zokutyelela. Ngelishwa, ininzi yonxweme yesizwe esi siqithi ihlanganiswe ngokweplastiki, ngokukodwa eBali, ezoqoqosho lwazo zixhomekeke kwizokhenketho, ishishini eliye labhubhisa yonke inkcubeko kunye nemeko. I-Indonesia nayo yayinokungcola komoya okugqithisileyo ngowama-2015, kodwa yile sihloko kwenye inqaku.

Viyethnam
Udoti kuphela ukuqala kweengxaki kwiilwandle zaseVietnam. Le, e-Mui Ne, kwafuneka ibe nepatile ngenxa yokukhukhula. URobert Schrader IVietnam yenye yehlabathi elona lide kakhulu elingenakunqandwa, ngenxa yendawo yayo ende. Ngelishwa, ngokukhawuleza ibe yinto yehlabathi yonxweme kakhulu, ngenxa yokunyuka kwindoda yempahla yeplastiki phakathi koluntu lwayo ngokukhawuleza. Nanku ukucinga ukuba leli lizwe lifumana indlela yokulawula inkunkuma yalo phambi kobuncwane njengesiqithi sasePop Quoc kunye neHa Long Bay Indawo yeLifa leLifa leMveli eliya kwiDodo.

Thayilendi
Iziqithi zaseParadacac Thai ezifana neKoh Kradan, eziboniswe apha, kungekudala kungekudala. URobert Schrader I-Thailand mhlawumbi iyaziwayo ngokubanzi emhlabeni wonke kwiipladesi zeparadesi ezifana nePhuket, ngokukodwa ekupheleni kwe-tsunami ka-2004 eyayiyichitha. Ngelishwa kwiLizwe leNkcenkceshe, nangona i-tsunami ingasayi kuphinda iphinde ibetha kwakhona, amanxweme amaninzi angabhujiswa: iThailand iphakathi kwabaxhasi abakhulu behlabathi kwi-plastiki yolwandle, ingxaki ebonakala ibonakala ngakumbi xa ihamba. Nanku ukuthemba ukuba uBukumkani buya kufumana indlela yokujongana nayo iplastiki engabandakanyi ukuyilahla elwandle.

Iiphilippines
Ukuphuhliswa kwamazwe asePhilippines afana ne-Boracay esongela indawo yelizwe. URobert Schrader AmaPhilippines kutshanje enze iifolda xa esinye seziqithi zayo, iPalawan, sabizwa ngokuba yiyona nto iphakamileyo kunye nolwandle olukulo siqithi, u-El Nido, lwabizwa ngokuba yi-beach top ehlabathini. Ngelishwa, ukulahla iplastiki kwinxweme kusongela ulwandle lwaloo ndawo, ngaphandle kokuba iinkokeli zifumana indlela yokulawula ngokwaneleyo inkunkuma. Enyanisweni, ukuba ukusetyenziswa kweplastiki apha kuqhubeka ukwanda kwimivuzo yalo yangoku, kungekudala kungekudala kubekho iiplastiki ezingaphezu kwamagquma asePhilippines kunama-seashell okanye ama-beachgoers.
