I nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ua ulu ka nui o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka hue wai.Manaʻo ka poʻe he ʻoi aku ka maʻemaʻe, palekana, a ʻoi aku ka maʻemaʻe o ka wai ʻōmole ma mua o ka wai paila a i ʻole ka wai kānana.ʻO kēia manaʻo ka mea i hilinaʻi ai ka poʻe i nā ʻōmole wai, ʻoiai, ʻo ka nui o nā hue wai he 24% o ka wai paipu kānana.

He ino loa na omole wai no ke kaiapuni ma muli o ka palaka palaka.He pilikia koʻikoʻi ka ʻōpala plastik ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa.ʻO ke kūʻai ʻana i nā ʻōmole plastik e hoʻonui i ka koi no ka plastic, a laila hoʻohana i ka ikehu a me nā wahie fossil.ʻO ka maʻalahi, ua hoʻolālā ʻia nā kānana wai e hōʻemi i ka ʻōpala i loko o ke kaiapuni a ʻoki i nā kumukūʻai.ʻO nā kānana wai e pili ana i ke kaiapuni a kōkua i ka unuhi ʻana i nā mea haumia a me nā haumia i loko o ka wai paipu.

He ala maikaʻi loa nā kānana wai e hana i kāu ʻāpana i ka mālama ʻana i ke kaiapuni!

Hiki i nā kānana wai ke kōkua i ka pale ʻana i ka hana nui ʻana o nā ʻōmole plastik a hiki ke komo i ka wai inu palekana a olakino.Ma Australia wale nō, ʻoi aku ma mua o 400,000 barela ʻaila i hoʻohana ʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki no ka hana ʻana i nā hue plastik.ʻO ka mea pōʻino, he kanakolu pākēneka wale nō o nā ʻōmole i kūʻai ʻia ke hana hou ʻia, ʻo ke koena e pau i ka ʻāina ʻāina a ʻimi paha i ke ala i ke kai.ʻO kahi kānana wai kahi ala maikaʻi loa e ola mau ai, ʻoiai ʻo ka ʻike ʻana he palekana kāu wai inu.

ʻO ka nui o ka haumia mai ka plastic e hoʻopōʻino nui i ka ʻāina a me nā holoholona moana, a me ko lākou kaiaola.He hopena kekahi i ke olakino kanaka.ʻO ka hoʻemi ʻana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka hue plastik hiki ke kōkua i ka liʻiliʻi o nā kemika i hoʻohana ʻia, e like me BPA.Loaʻa ka bisphenol A (BPA) i loko o nā ʻōmole wai paʻa i hiki ke komo a hoʻohaumia i ka wai.Hiki i ka ʻike ʻana i ka BPA ke hopena i ka pōʻino o ka lolo i nā pēpē, nā pēpē, a me nā keiki.Ua pāpā nā ʻāina e like me Iapana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka plastic paʻakikī "7" ma muli o nā kemika weliweli.

ʻO nā kānana wai kahi ala palekana a maʻalahi hoʻi e hauʻoli i ka wai maʻemaʻe.

Hoʻokumu ʻia nā kānana wai i kou home no ka lōʻihi, a hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ka mālama kālā.Hiki iā ʻoe ke mālama i $1 no ka lita mai nā hue plastik a i ka 1¢ no ka lita ma ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi kānana wai.Hāʻawi nā kānana wai iā ʻoe i ke komo koke ʻana i ka wai kānana 24/7, pololei mai ka pā!ʻAʻole wale ka maʻalahi o ka kānana wai, akā ʻo ka wehe ʻana i ke ʻala, ka ʻono ʻino, a me ka chlorine kekahi mau pōmaikaʻi o ke kūʻai ʻana i kāna kānana.

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