I nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ua ulu nui ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻōmole wai. Manaʻo ka poʻe he ʻoi aku ka maʻemaʻe o ka wai ʻōmole, palekana, a ʻoi aku ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia ma mua o ka wai paipa a i ʻole ka wai i kānana ʻia. Ua hoʻoulu kēia manaʻo i ka poʻe e hilinaʻi i nā ʻōmole wai, ʻoiai ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, aia ma nā ʻōmole wai he 24% ka wai paipa i kānana ʻia.

He mea ʻino loa hoʻi nā ʻōmole wai no ke kaiapuni ma muli o ka ʻōpala palaki. He pilikia nui ka ʻōpala palaki ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa. Hoʻonui ka kūʻai ʻana i nā ʻōmole palaki i ke koi no ka palaki, kahi e hoʻohana ai i ka ikehu a me nā wahie mōʻalihaku. ʻO ka mea maʻalahi, ua hoʻolālā ʻia nā kānana wai e hōʻemi i ka ʻōpala i loko o ke kaiapuni a hōʻemi i nā kumukūʻai. He aloha kaiapuni nā kānana wai a kōkua i ka wehe ʻana i nā mea haumia a me nā mea haumia i loko o ka wai paipa.

He ala maikaʻi loa nā kānana wai e kōkua ai i kāu hana i ka hoʻopakele ʻana i ke kaiapuni!

Hiki i nā kānana wai ke kōkua i ka pale ʻana i ka hana nui ʻana o nā ʻōmole palaki a ʻae i ke komo ʻana i ka wai inu palekana a olakino. Ma Australia wale nō, ʻoi aku ma mua o 400,000 mau barela aila i hoʻohana ʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki e hana i nā ʻōmole palaki. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, he kanakolu wale nō pakeneka o nā ʻōmole i kūʻai ʻia e hana hou ʻia, ʻo ke koena e hoʻopau ʻia i ka landfill a i ʻole e loaʻa i ko lākou ala i ke kai. He ala maikaʻi loa ka kānana wai e ola ai me ka hoʻomau, me ka ʻike ʻana he palekana kāu wai inu.

ʻO ka nui o ka haumia mai ka palakika e hōʻino nui i nā holoholona o ka ʻāina a me ke kai, a me ko lākou mau kaiaolaola. He hopena nō hoʻi ia i ke olakino kanaka. ʻO ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻōmole palakika hiki ke kōkua i ka emi ʻana o nā kemika i lawe ʻia, e like me ka BPA. Loaʻa i nā ʻōmole wai palakika ka bisphenol A (BPA) hiki ke komo a hoʻohaumia i ka wai. ʻO ka ʻike ʻana i ka BPA hiki ke hōʻeha i ka lolo i nā ʻōpū, nā pēpē, a me nā keiki. Ua pāpā nā ʻāina e like me Iapana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka palakika paʻakikī "7" ma muli o nā kemika weliweli.

He ala palekana a makepono hoʻi nā kānana wai e hauʻoli ai i ka wai maʻemaʻe.

Ua kūkulu ʻia nā kānana wai i loko o kou home e mau loa, a hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ka mālama kālā. Hiki iā ʻoe ke mālama i $1 no ka lita mai nā ʻōmole plastik a i 1¢ no ka lita ma ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi kānana wai. Hāʻawi pū nā kānana wai iā ʻoe i ke komo koke ʻana i ka wai i kānana ʻia 24/7, pololei mai ka piula wai! ʻAʻole wale ka maʻalahi o ke komo ʻana i ka kānana wai, akā ʻo ka wehe ʻana i ke ʻala, ka ʻono maikaʻi ʻole, a me ka chlorine he mau pono nō hoʻi o ke kūʻai ʻana i kahi kānana.

Hāʻawi nā kānana wai i ka wai maʻemaʻe a ʻono maikaʻi i nā ʻōnaehana like ʻole e pono ai no ʻoe a me kou ʻohana. He maʻalahi ke kau ʻana, a e pōmaikaʻi ʻoe a me kou ʻohana ma nā ʻano like ʻole no nā makahiki e hiki mai ana.
