USodolophu uBernard C. “UJack” Young utyikitye ibhili ngoMvulo evala ukusetyenziswa kweengxowa zeplastiki kubathengisi ukuqala kulo nyaka uzayo, esithi unebhongo ukuba iBaltimore “ikhokela indlela ekudaleni iindawo ezicocekileyo kunye neendlela zamanzi.”
Umthetho uyakwalela abathengisi begrosari kunye nabanye abathengisi ekukhupheni iingxowa zeplastiki, kwaye ufuna ukuba babize i-nickel ngayo nayiphi na enye ibhegi abayinika abathengi, kubandakanya neengxowa zephepha.Abathengisi bangagcina iisenti ezi-4 kwintlawulo yengxowa nganye engenye abayinikezelayo, kunye nepeni eya kwibhokisi yesixeko.
Abameli bezendalo, abaphumelele lo mthetho oyilwayo, bayibiza ngokuba linyathelo elibalulekileyo ekunciphiseni ungcoliseko lweplastiki.
Omncinci wasayina umthetho oyilwayo ngelixa engqongwe bubomi baselwandle kwi-National Aquarium ecaleni kwe-Inner Harbour.Wadityaniswa namanye amalungu eBhunga leSixeko atyhalela lo mthetho;bekucetywe izihlandlo ezisithoba ukusukela ngo-2006.
"Iiplastiki ezisetyenziselwa enye into ayifanelekanga," utshilo uJohn Racanelli, i-CEO ye-National Aquarium.“Ithemba lam lelokuba ngenye imini singahamba kwizitrato kunye neepaki zaseBaltimore kwaye singaze siphinde sibone ingxowa yeplastiki ikrwitsha amasebe omthi okanye inqola ejikeleza isitrato okanye ingcolisa amanzi e-Inner Harbour.”
Isebe lezempilo kwesi sixeko kunye neofisi yozinzo zinoxanduva lokusasaza iindaba ngemfundo namaphulo okufikelela ebantwini.I-ofisi yozinzo ingathanda ukuba isixeko sisasaze iingxowa ezinokuphinda zisetyenziswe njengenxalenye yaloo nkqubo, kwaye ijolise kubahlali abamivuzo iphantsi, ngakumbi.
"Injongo yethu iya kuba kukuqinisekisa ukuba wonke umntu ulungele utshintsho kwaye uneengxowa ezaneleyo ezinokuphinda zisetyenziswe ukunciphisa inani leengxowa ezisetyenziselwa enye kunye nokuphepha imirhumo," kusho umkhulumeli wesixeko uJames Bentley."Silindele ukuba kubekho amaqabane amaninzi afuna ukuxhasa ngemali iibhegi ezinokuphinda zisetyenziswe ukuze zisasazwe kumakhaya amkela imivuzo ephantsi, ke unxibelelwano luya kulungelelanisa iindlela zokunceda kolusasazo kunye nokulandelela ukuba zingaphi ezinikiweyo."
Iza kusetyenziswa kwiivenkile ezithengisa ukutya, iivenkile ezithengisa ukutya, iikhemesti, iivenkile zokutyela kunye nezikhululo zerhasi, nangona ezinye iintlobo zeemveliso ziya kukhululwa, njengentlanzi entsha, inyama okanye imveliso, amaphephandaba, ukucoca okomileyo kunye namayeza abhalwe ngugqirha.
Abanye abathengisi bakuchasa ukuvalwa kuba besithi kubeka umthwalo onzima wemali kubathengisi.Iingxowa zamaphepha zibiza kakhulu kunezo zeplastiki, abathengisi begrosa banike ubungqina ngexesha leengxoxo.
UJerry Gordon, umnini weMarike ka-Eddie, uthe uya kuqhubeka enikezela ngeengxowa zeplastiki de ukuvalwa komsebenzi kuqale ukusebenza.“Zinoqoqosho ngakumbi kwaye kulula kakhulu ukuba abathengi bam bazithwale,” utshilo.
Uthe uzakuthobela umthetho xa ixesha lifikile.Sele, uqikelela malunga ne-30% yabathengi bakhe beza kwivenkile yakhe yaseCharles Village bephethe iibhegi ezinokuphinda zisetyenziswe.
“Kunzima ukuchaza ukuba iza kuxabisa malini na,” watsho."Abantu baya kuziqhelanisa, njengoko ixesha lihamba, ukuze bafumane iibhegi ezinokuphinda zisetyenziswe, kunzima kakhulu ukuxela."
