Ucwaningo olwenziwe edolobheni lasemakhaya laseGoondiwindi, eQueensland, e-Australia luveze ukuthi imfucuza yendwangu eyenziwe ngokotini egayiwe emasimini kakotini inenzuzo enhlabathini ngaphandle komphumela omubi. Futhi inganikeza inzuzo empilweni yenhlabathi, kanye nesisombululo esingandiswa esimweni esikhulu semfucuza yendwangu yomhlaba wonke.
Isivivinyo sezinyanga ezingu-12 kuphrojekthi yepulazi likakotini, ngaphansi kokuqondisa kochwepheshe bezomnotho ojikelezayo uCoreo, kwakuwukubambisana phakathi kukaHulumeni waseQueensland, iGoondiwindi Cotton, iSheridan, iCotton Australia, iWorn Up, kanye nososayensi wenhlabathi osekelwa yiCotton Research and Development Corporation uDkt Oliver Knox wase-UNE.
Cishe amathani amabili ezindwangu zikakotini eziphela impilo ezivela eSheridan kanye nezinsizakalo ze-State Emergency Service aphathwa eWorn Up eSydney, athuthwa ayiswa epulazini 'le-Alcheringa', futhi asakazwa ensimini kakotini ngumlimi wendawo, uSam Coulton.
Imiphumela yesilingo isekela ukuthi imfucuza enjalo ingafanelekela amasimu kakotini lapho avunwa khona, esikhundleni sokulahlwa kwemfucuza, kodwa abalingani bephrojekthi kufanele baphinde umsebenzi wabo phakathi nesizini kakotini ka-2022-23 ukuqinisekisa lokhu okutholakele kokuqala.
UDkt Oliver Knox, we-UNE (osekelwa yi-Cotton Research and Development Corporation) kanye nososayensi wenhlabathi osekelwa yimboni yekotini uthe, “Okungenani lolu cwaningo lukhombisile ukuthi akukho monakalo owenziwe empilweni yenhlabathi, njengoba umsebenzi wamagciwane ukhuphuke kancane futhi okungenani ama-2,070 kg e-carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) ancishisiwe ngokuwohloka kwalezi zingubo enhlabathini kunokuba kufakwe udoti.”
“Ukuhlolwa kwaphambukisa amathani amabili emfucuza yendwangu evela endaweni yokulahla udoti ngaphandle komthelela omubi ekutshalweni kukakotini, ekukhuleni, ekukhuleni, noma ekuvunweni. Amazinga ekhabhoni yomhlabathi ahlala eqinile, futhi izimbungulu zenhlabathi zasabela kahle ezintweni ezengeziwe zikakotini. Kwabonakala futhi ukuthi akukho mphumela omubi ovela kudayi kanye nokuqedwa yize kudingeka ukuhlolwa okwengeziwe kumakhemikhali amaningi ukuze kuqinisekiswe lokho,” kusho uKnox.
Ngokusho kukaSam Coulton, umlimi wendawo olima ukotini 'wagwinya' kalula izinto eziqoshiwe zikakotini, okwamenza waqiniseka ukuthi le ndlela yokwenza umquba inamandla asebenzayo esikhathi eside.
USam Coulton uthe, “Sasakaza imfucuza yendwangu kakotini ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokutshala ukotini ngoJuni 2021 futhi ngoJanuwari kanye naphakathi nesizini imfucuza kakotini yayisinyamalele, ngisho nangesilinganiso samathani angu-50 ehektheleni.”
“Bengingalindele ukubona ukuthuthuka empilweni yenhlabathi noma isivuno okungenani iminyaka emihlanu njengoba izinzuzo zidinga isikhathi sokuqongelela, kodwa ngikhuthazwe kakhulu ukuthi bekungekho mthelela omubi enhlabathini yethu. Esikhathini esidlule besisakaza udoti we-cotton gin kwezinye izingxenye zepulazi futhi sibone ukuthuthuka okukhulu emandleni okugcina umswakama kula masimu ngakho-ke bengingalindela okufanayo ngokusebenzisa udoti we-cotton oqoshiwe,” kusho uCoulton.
Ithimba lephrojekthi lase-Australia manje lizothuthukisa umsebenzi walo ukuze lithole izindlela ezingcono kakhulu zokubambisana. Futhi i-Cotton Research and Development Corporation izinikele ekuxhaseni iphrojekthi yocwaningo lwe-compost yendwangu yekotini yeminyaka emithathu yi-University of Newcastle ezophinde ihlole umphumela wamadayi nokuqedwa futhi ihlole izindlela zokufaka izindwangu zekotini ebhodweni ukuze zisakazeke emasimini kusetshenziswa imishini yamanje yepulazi.
