Te Pānga ki te Taiao o ngā Pounamu Karāhe

Kua roa te pounamu karāhe e whakamahia ana, ā, koia tonu tētahi o ngā rauemi tākai e whakamahia whānuitia ana i te ao. Heoi, i te mea kei te haere tonu te raruraru āhuarangi me te tipu haere o te mōhiotanga ki te taiao, kua noho hei mea nui kia mārama ki te pānga o ngā pounamu karāhe ki te taiao.

Tuatahi, ka taea te hangarua 100% te karāhe. Kāore i rite ki ētahi atu rauemi pēnei i te kirihou, ka taea te hangarua anō i te karāhe me te kore e ngaro tōna kounga. Mā te hangarua anō i ngā pounamu karāhe, ka taea e tātou te whakaiti i te nui o ngā para e tukuna ana ki te whenua ururua me te tiaki i ā tātou rauemi taiao. Hei tāpiri, mā te whakamahi i te karāhe hangarua ka penapena pūngao nā te mea he iti ake te pūngao e hiahiatia ana hei whakarewa i te karāhe hangarua i te rauemi mata.

Heoi anō, kāore ngā pounamu karāhe i te paitini, ā, kāore hoki he matū kino pērā i te BPA. Kāore te karāhe e mimiti wai, he rerekē ki te kirihou, nō reira he kōwhiringa hauora ake mō te inu me te penapena kai.

Heoi anō, me whai whakaaro anō hoki ki te pānga ki te taiao. He nui te kaha me ngā rauemi e hiahiatia ana mō te hanga pounamu karāhe, tae atu ki te onepu, te pungarehu houra me te kōhatu kōhatu. Engari, ka tukuna pea e tēnei tukanga ngā matū kino ki te rangi, ka puta ai te parahanga o te rangi me ngā tukunga hau kati kōtuhi.

Hei whakakore i tēnei, kei te whakamahi ētahi kamupene i ngā tikanga whakaputa tauwhiro ake, pērā i te whakamahi i te pūngao hou me te whakatinana i ngā pūnaha hangarua porowhita kati. Ka taea hoki e ngā kaihoko te whai wāhi mā te whakamahi anō i ngā pounamu karāhe hei utu mō te maka atu, ā, ka whakaitihia te hiahia mō ngā pounamu hou, ka roa ake hoki te ora o aua pounamu.

I te katoa, he kōwhiringa mohio te huri ki ngā pounamu karāhe mō te taiao me tō tātou hauora. Ahakoa kei te whai whakaaro tonu ki ngā pānga ki te taiao, he nui ake ngā painga o te karāhe hei rauemi pumau me te hangarua i ngā mea kino. Kia whai kawenga tātou mō te whakaiti i tō tātou tapuwae waro mā te whiriwhiri i te karāhe i runga i ngā rauemi tākai kē atu. Ka taea e ngā panonitanga iti te hanga i tētahi rerekētanga nui.
