UMackenzie Nichols ngumbhali ozimeleyo osebenza egadini kunye neendaba zolonwabo. Ugxile ekubhaleni malunga nezityalo ezitsha, iindlela zokulima, iingcebiso kunye namaqhinga egadi, iindlela zokuzonwabisa, i-Q&A eneenkokeli kushishino lokonwabisa kunye negadi, kunye neendlela kuluntu lwanamhlanje. Uneminyaka engaphezu kwe-5 yamava okubhala amanqaku oshicilelo olukhulu.
Mhlawumbi uye wazibona ezi zikwere eziluhlaza, ezibizwa ngokuba yi-flower foam okanye i-oases, kumalungiselelo eentyatyambo ngaphambili, kwaye usenokuba uzisebenzise ngokwakho ukugcina iintyatyambo endaweni. Nangona igwebu lentyatyambo likho amashumi eminyaka, uphando lwenzululwazi lwakutshanje lubonise ukuba le mveliso inokuba yingozi kwimekobume. Ngokukodwa, ihlahlela ibe yi-microplastics, enokuthi ingcolise imithombo yamanzi kunye nokulimaza ubomi basemanzini. Ukongeza, uthuli olunogwebu lunokubangela iingxaki zokuphefumla ebantwini. Ngezi zizathu, imisitho yeentyatyambo ezinkulu ezifana neRoyal Horticultural Society's Chelsea Flower Show kunye neNgqungquthela yeentyatyambo eziSlow ziye zasuka kugwebu lweentyatyambo. Endaweni yoko, abatyali beentyatyambo baya beguqukela kwezinye iindlela zogwebu lwentyatyambo kwindalo yabo. Nasi isizathu sokuba kufuneka wenze njalo, kwaye yintoni ongayisebenzisa endaweni yokulungiswa kweentyatyambo.
Igwebu leentyatyambo zizinto ezikhaphukhaphu, ezifunxayo ezinokubekwa emazantsi evazi kunye nezinye iinqanawa ukwenza isiseko soyilo lweentyatyambo. URita Feldman, umseki weSustainable Flower Network yaseOstreliya, wathi: “Kangangexesha elide, abavelisi beentyatyambo nabathengi beligqala eli gwebu liluhlaza njengemveliso yendalo.” .
Iimveliso zogwebu oluluhlaza azizange ziqale zisungulwe ukulungiselela ukulungiswa kweentyatyambo, kodwa uVernon Smithers waseSmithers-Oasis wabanika ilungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza kolu setyenziso ngo-1950s. UFeldmann uthi iOasis Floral Foam yakhawuleza yaduma kwiingcali zeentyatyambo kuba “ixabiso eliphantsi kakhulu kwaye kulula kakhulu ukuyisebenzisa. Uyinqumle nje, uyifake emanzini, uze uncamathelise isikhondo kuso.” kwizikhongozeli, ezi zikhongozeli ziya kuba nzima ukuphatha ngaphandle kwesiseko esiluqilima seentyatyambo. “Uyilo lwakhe lwenza ukuba ukucwangciswa kweentyatyambo kufikeleleke kakhulu kubalungiseleli abangenamava abangakwaziyo ukufumana izikhondo zokuhlala apho bafuna khona,” wongezelela.
Nangona igwebu lentyatyambo lenziwe ngee-carcinogens ezaziwayo ezifana ne-formaldehyde, kuphela kulandele izixa zale michiza iyityhefu eseleyo kwimveliso egqityiweyo. Ingxaki enkulu ngegwebu leentyatyambo yinto eyenzekayo xa uyilahla. I-Foam ayinakuphinda isetyenziswe, kwaye ngelixa i-biodegradable ngokobuchwepheshe, ngokwenene ihlahlela ibe ngamancinci amancinci abizwa ngokuba yi-microplastics enokuhlala kwimo engqongileyo amakhulu eminyaka. Izazinzulu zixhalaba ngakumbi malunga neengozi zempilo ebantwini nakwezinye izinto eziphilayo ezibangelwa yi-microplastics emoyeni nasemanzini.
Umzekelo, uphononongo olwenziwe yiYunivesithi yaseRMIT epapashwe ngo-2019 kwiSayensi yeNdawo iyonke yafumanisa okokuqala ukuba i-microplastics kwi-foam yeentyatyambo ichaphazela ubomi basemanzini. Abaphandi bafumanisa ukuba ezi microplastics ziyingozi ngokwasemzimbeni kunye neekhemikhali kuluhlu lwamanzi acocekileyo kunye neentlobo zaselwandle ezithatha amasuntswana.
Olunye uphononongo olwenziwa zizazinzulu kwiSikolo sezoNyango saseHull York ichonge i-microplastics kwimiphunga yomntu okokuqala ngqa. Iziphumo zibonisa ukuba ukuphefumla i-microplastics ngumthombo obalulekileyo wokuvezwa. Ukongeza kwi-foam yeentyatyambo, i-microplastics yomoya nayo ifumaneka kwiimveliso ezifana neebhotile, ukupakisha, iimpahla kunye nezithambiso. Nangona kunjalo, akucaci kakuhle ukuba ezi microplastic zichaphazela njani abantu kunye nezinye izilwanyana.
De uphando olongezelelweyo luthembisa ukukhanyisa ngakumbi kwiingozi ze-foam yeentyatyambo kunye neminye imithombo ye-microplastics, iiflorists ezifana noTobey Nelson weTobey Nelson Events + Design, LLC banenkxalabo malunga nokuphefumla uthuli olwenziwa xa usebenzisa imveliso. Ngelixa i-Oasis ikhuthaza iintyatyambo ukuba zinxibe iimaski ezikhuselayo xa ziphethe iimveliso, uninzi alwenzi. “Ndiyathemba ukuba kwiminyaka eli-10 okanye eli-15 abasayibizi ukuba yi-foamy lung syndrome okanye into efana nabasebenzi basezimayini banesifo semiphunga esimnyama,” utshilo uNelson.
Ukulahlwa ngokufanelekileyo kwegwebu lentyatyambo kunokuhamba indlela ende ekuthinteleni ukungcoliseka komoya kunye namanzi kwii-microplastics ezingaphezulu. UFeldmann uthi kuhlolisiso olwenziwa yiSustainable Floristry Network, ama-72 ekhulwini abo basebenzisa ugwebu lweentyatyambo bavuma ukuba baluphose emseleni emva kokuba iintyatyambo zibunile, yaye i-15 ekhulwini lathi lafak’ isandla kwisitiya sabo. nomhlaba. Ukongezelela, "i-foam yeentyatyambo ingena kwindawo yendalo ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo: ingcwatywe ngeebhokisi, ngokusebenzisa iinkqubo zamanzi kwii-vases, kwaye ixutywe kunye neentyantyambo kwiinkqubo zenkunkuma eluhlaza, igadi kunye ne-composts," kusho uFeldman.
Ukuba ufuna ukurisayikilisha igwebu lentyatyambo, iingcali ziyavuma ukuba kungcono kakhulu ukuliphosa kwindawo yokulahla inkunkuma kunokulilahla kumsele okanye wongeze kwi-compost okanye kwinkunkuma yaseyadini. UFeldman ucebisa ukuba kugalelwe amanzi aneentyatyambo ezinogwebu lwentyatyambo, “wagalele kwilaphu elishinyeneyo, elifana nomqamelo omdala, ukuze ubambe ugwebu oluninzi kangangoko kunokwenzeka.”
Iintyatyambo zinokukhetha ukusebenzisa igwebu leentyatyambo ngenxa yokuqhelana nokulula, utshilo uNelson. “Ewe, akulunganga ukukhumbula ingxowa yegrosari enokuphinda isetyenziswe emotweni,” utshilo. "Kodwa sonke kufuneka simke kwindlela yokucinga kwaye sibe nekamva elizinzileyo apho sisebenza nzima kancinci kwaye sinciphise ifuthe lethu kwiplanethi." UNelson wongeze ukuba uninzi lwabatyali beentyatyambo banokungaqondi ukuba kukho ukhetho olungcono.
I-Oasis ngokwayo ngoku ibonelela ngemveliso evundisiweyo ngokupheleleyo ebizwa ngokuba yiTerraBrick. Imveliso entsha "yenziwe ngesityalo esekwe, ehlaziyekayo, i-coconut fibers yendalo kunye ne-compostable binder." Njenge-Oasis Floral Foam, iTerraBricks ifunxa amanzi ukuze igcine iintyatyambo zifumile ngelixa igcina ukulungelelana kwesiqu seentyatyambo. Iimveliso zekhokhonathi zosinga zinokudityaniswa ngokukhuselekileyo kwaye zisetyenziswe egadini. Olunye uhlobo olutsha yi-Oshun Pouch, eyenziwe ngo-2020 yi-New Age Floral CEO uKirsten VanDyck. Ibhegi izaliswe yinto evundisiweyo edumba emanzini kwaye inokumelana neyona bhokisi inkulu yokutshiza, utshilo uVanDyck.
Zininzi ezinye iindlela zokuxhasa ukucwangciswa kweentyatyambo, kubandakanywa amasele eentyatyambo, ukubiyela ucingo, kunye namatye okuhombisa okanye amaso kwiivazi. Okanye unokwenza uyilo ngento onayo, njengoko uVanDyck wangqinayo xa wayeyila uyilo lwakhe lokuqala oluzinzileyo lweKlabhu yeGadi. Endaweni yogwebu lweentyatyambo, ndasika ivatala phakathi ndaza ndatyala kuyo iintaka ezimbini zeparadesi.” I-Watermelon ngokucacileyo ayizukuhlala ixesha elide njengegwebu leentyatyambo, kodwa yile ngongoma. UVanDyck uthi ilungile kuyilo olumele luhlale usuku kuphela.
Ngobuninzi obunye obunye obukhoyo kunye nokwazisa ngeziphumo ebezingalindelekanga ezingezizo zegwebu lentyatyambo, kucacile ukuba ukutsiba kwi #nofloralfoam bandwagon yinto engenangqondo. Mhlawumbi yiloo nto, njengoko ishishini leentyatyambo lisebenzela ukuphucula uzinzo lwalo ngokubanzi, u-TJ McGrath we-TJ McGrath Design ukholelwa ukuba “ukuphelisa ugwebu lweentyatyambo yeyona nto iphambili.”
