Mackenzie Nichols ndi mlembi wodziyimira pawokha yemwe amagwiritsa ntchito nkhani zamaluwa ndi zosangalatsa. Amakhala ndi chidwi cholemba za zomera zatsopano, za kalimidwe ka dimba, maupangiri ndi zidule za ulimi wamaluwa, njira zosangalatsa, Mafunso ndi Mayankho omwe ali ndi atsogoleri pazasangalalo ndi ulimi wamaluwa, komanso zomwe zikuchitika masiku ano. Ali ndi zaka zopitilira 5 zakulemba zolemba zofalitsa zazikulu.
Mwinamwake mudawonapo mabwalo obiriwira awa, omwe amadziwika kuti flower thovu kapena oases, mu kakonzedwe ka maluwa kale, ndipo mwina munagwiritsapo ntchito nokha kusunga maluwa. Ngakhale kuti thovu lamaluwa lakhalapo kwa zaka zambiri, kafukufuku waposachedwapa wa sayansi wasonyeza kuti mankhwalawa akhoza kuwononga chilengedwe. Makamaka, imasweka kukhala ma microplastics, omwe amatha kuwononga magwero a madzi ndikuwononga zamoyo zam'madzi. Kuphatikiza apo, fumbi la thovu lingayambitse vuto la kupuma kwa anthu. Pazifukwa izi, zochitika zazikulu zamaluwa monga Royal Horticultural Society's Chelsea Flower Show ndi Slow Flower Summit zachoka ku thovu la maluwa. M'malo mwake, ochita maluwa akuyamba kutembenukira ku mitundu ina ya thovu yamaluwa pazopanga zawo. Ichi ndi chifukwa chake muyenera kutero, ndi zomwe mungagwiritse ntchito m'malo mwa maluwa.
Chithovu chamaluwa ndi chinthu chopepuka, choyamwa chomwe chitha kuyikidwa pansi pamiphika ndi ziwiya zina kuti apange maziko opangira maluwa. Rita Feldman, yemwe anayambitsa bungwe lotchedwa Sustainable Flower Network la ku Australia, anati: “Kwa nthawi yaitali, okonza maluwa komanso ogula ankaona kuti thovu lobiriwirali ndi lopangidwa mwachilengedwe. .
Zopangira thovu zobiriwira sizinapangirepo kaikidwe ka maluwa, koma Vernon Smithers waku Smithers-Oasis adazipereka kuti zigwiritsidwe ntchito m'ma 1950. Feldmann akunena kuti Oasis Floral Foam mwamsanga inayamba kutchuka ndi akatswiri a maluwa chifukwa “ndi yotsika mtengo kwambiri ndiponso yosavuta kugwiritsa ntchito. Ungoidula, n’kuiviika m’madzi, ndi kumata tsinde lake.” m'mitsuko, zotengerazi zidzakhala zovuta kusamalira popanda maziko olimba a maluwa. Iye anawonjezera kuti: “Zomwe anatulukirazi zinachititsa kuti kaikidwe ka maluwa azitha kufikika kwa anthu osadziŵa bwino ntchito yokonza maluwa.
Ngakhale thovu lamaluwa limapangidwa kuchokera kuzinthu zodziwika bwino monga formaldehyde, mankhwala oopsawa amangotsala pang'ono kutha. Vuto lalikulu la thovu lamaluwa ndi zomwe zimachitika mukachitaya. Chithovu sichikhoza kubwezeretsedwanso, ndipo ngakhale kuti chikhoza kuwonongeka, chimasweka kukhala tinthu ting'onoting'ono totchedwa ma microplastics omwe amatha kukhala m'chilengedwe kwa zaka mazana ambiri. Asayansi akuda nkhawa kwambiri ndi kuopsa kwa thanzi la anthu ndi zamoyo zina zomwe zimadza chifukwa cha microplastics mumpweya ndi madzi.
Mwachitsanzo, kafukufuku wa RMIT University yemwe adasindikizidwa mu 2019 mu Science of the Total Environment adapeza koyamba kuti ma microplastic mu thovu lamaluwa amakhudza zamoyo zam'madzi. Ofufuzawa adapeza kuti ma microplastics awa ndi owopsa mwakuthupi komanso mwamankhwala kumitundu ingapo yamadzi am'madzi ndi am'madzi omwe amadya tinthu tating'onoting'ono.
Kafukufuku wina waposachedwapa wa asayansi ku Hull York Medical School anapeza microplastics m'mapapo a munthu kwa nthawi yoyamba. Zotsatira zikuwonetsa kuti kupuma kwa microplastics ndikofunikira kwambiri pakuwonetsetsa. Kuphatikiza pa thovu lamaluwa, ma microplastics opangidwa ndi mpweya amapezekanso muzinthu monga mabotolo, ma CD, zovala ndi zodzoladzola. Komabe, sizikudziwika bwino momwe ma microplastic awa amakhudzira anthu ndi nyama zina.
Mpaka kafukufuku wina akulonjeza kuti adzaunikira zambiri za kuopsa kwa thovu lamaluwa ndi magwero ena a microplastics, akatswiri amaluwa monga Tobey Nelson a Tobey Nelson Events + Design, LLC akuda nkhawa ndi kutulutsa fumbi lopangidwa pogwiritsa ntchito mankhwala. Ngakhale Oasis imalimbikitsa ochita maluwa kuvala masks oteteza akamagwira zinthu, ambiri satero. "Ndikungokhulupirira kuti m'zaka 10 kapena 15 sadzachitcha kuti foamy lung syndrome kapena china chake ngati ogwira ntchito kumigodi ali ndi matenda akuda a m'mapapo," adatero Nelson.
Kutaya thovu lamaluwa moyenera kungathandize kwambiri kuteteza kuipitsidwa kwa mpweya ndi madzi ku ma microplastics ochulukirapo. Feldmann ananena kuti pa kafukufuku amene bungwe la Sustainable Floristry Network linachita kwa akatswiri osamalira maluwa, anthu 72 pa 100 alionse amene amagwiritsa ntchito thovu la maluŵa anavomereza kuti anataya m’ngalande maluwawo atafota, ndipo 15 pa 100 alionse ananena kuti anawonjezerapo m’dimba lawo. ndi nthaka. Kuonjezera apo, "chithovu chamaluwa chimalowa m'chilengedwe m'njira zosiyanasiyana: kukwiriridwa ndi mabokosi, kupyolera muzitsulo zamadzi m'mitsuko, ndikusakaniza ndi maluwa muzinthu zonyansa zobiriwira, minda ndi kompositi," adatero Feldman.
Ngati mukufuna kukonzanso thovu la maluwa, akatswiri amavomereza kuti ndi bwino kuliponya pamalo otayirapo kusiyana ndi kuliponya kukhetsa kapena kuwonjezera ku kompositi kapena zinyalala za pabwalo. Feldman akulangiza kuthira madzi okhala ndi zidutswa za thovu za maluŵa, “kuwathirirani pansalu yowundana, monga ngati pillowcase yakale, kuti mugwire zidutswa za thovu zambiri momwe mungathere.”
Ochita maluwa angakonde kugwiritsa ntchito thovu lamaluwa chifukwa cha kuzolowera komanso kusavuta, akutero Nelson. “Inde, n’kovuta kukumbukira chikwama cha golosale chogwiritsidwanso ntchito m’galimoto,” iye akutero. "Koma tonse tikuyenera kuchoka pamalingaliro osavuta ndikukhala ndi tsogolo lokhazikika momwe timagwira ntchito molimbika ndikuchepetsa kukhudzidwa kwathu padziko lapansi." Nelson adawonjezeranso kuti ambiri opanga maluwa sangazindikire kuti pali njira zabwinoko.
Oasis palokha tsopano imapereka mankhwala opangidwa ndi kompositi otchedwa TerraBrick. Zatsopanozi "zinapangidwa kuchokera ku zomera, zongowonjezwdwa, za coconut ulusi wachilengedwe komanso zomangira compostable." Monga Oasis Floral Foam, TerraBricks imatenga madzi kuti maluwa azikhala onyowa ndikusunga tsinde la maluwa. Zinthu za coconut fiber zimatha kupangidwa bwino ndi manyowa ndikugwiritsidwa ntchito m'munda. Kusintha kwina kwatsopano ndi Oshun Pouch, yopangidwa mu 2020 ndi New Age Floral CEO Kirsten VanDyck. Chikwamacho chimadzaza ndi zinthu zomwe zimapangidwira m'madzi ndipo zimatha kupirira ngakhale kupopera kwakukulu kwambiri, adatero VanDyck.
Palinso njira zina zambiri zochirikizira kakonzedwe ka maluwa, kuphatikizapo achule a maluŵa, mipanda ya waya, ndi miyala yokongoletsa kapena mikanda m’miphika. Kapena mutha kupanga luso ndi zomwe muli nazo, monga VanDyck adatsimikizira pomwe adapanga mapangidwe ake okhazikika a Garden Club. “M’malo mochita thovu lamaluwa, ndinadula mavwende pakati ndi kubzalamo mbalame zingapo za paradaiso.” Chivwende mwachiwonekere sichikhalitsa ngati thovu lamaluwa, koma ndiye mfundo yake. VanDyck akuti ndizabwino pamapangidwe omwe amayenera kukhala tsiku limodzi.
Ndi njira zina zowonjezereka zomwe zilipo komanso kuzindikira za zotsatira zoipa za thovu la maluwa, zikuwonekeratu kuti kulumpha pa #nofloralfoam bandwagon sikuli bwino. Mwina n’chifukwa chake, pamene makampani opanga maluwa akuyesetsa kuti zisawonongeke, TJ McGrath wa TJ McGrath Design amakhulupirira kuti “kuthetsa thovu lamaluwa ndi chinthu chofunika kwambiri.”
