HABER SPRINGS, Mich. — I tīmata katoa i te tau 1990, i te wā i rua ngā wāhi hangarua o te kawanatanga i te pito raki mā uru o te Lower Peninsula i utua e ngā takoha iti mō ngā tau e rua.
I ēnei rā, kua tipu te kaupapa hangarua hangarau matatau o Emmett County hei kaihanga moni whiwhi miriona tāra mō ngā kainoho neke atu i te 33,000 o te hapori, e hoko ana i ngā mano tāne o ngā mea hangarua ki ngā kamupene i Michigan me te rohe o Great Lakes hei hanga hua hou. I kitea anō e rātou he huarahi hei hangarua i ngā putea hokohoko kirihou.
E ai ki ngā tohunga, ko te kaupapa 30-tau te pakeke o te Tai Tokerau ka taea te whakamahi hei tauira mō ngā pire e waru e tatarihia ana e te paremata ā-rohe, hei āwhina i te Kāwanatanga o Michigan ki te hanga i ētahi atu tikanga hangarua, te whakaiti i ngā whenua ururua, me te whai hua i roto i te huringa tipu haere. Te whakatairanga i te ōhanga o ngā para hangarua me ngā para wairākau ka taea te whakawairakau.
"Kua whakaaturia e rātou he hua pai te haumi a te iwi whānui ki tēnei momo hanganga — he ratonga tūmatanui whai hua, ā, 90 ōrau o ngā rauemi e kohia ana e rātou mā roto i tā rātou kaupapa hangarua ka hokona atu ki ngā kamupene i Michigan," te kī a Kerrin O'Brien, te kaiwhakahaere matua o te rōpū kore-moni Michigan Recycling Alliance.
I te whare o Harbour Springs, ka tere te neke o te ringa karetao i runga i te whitiki kawe e neke ana, ka tangohia ngā kirihou kounga teitei, te karāhe me te konumohe ki roto i ngā ipu whakarōpū. Ka rere porowhita te awa whakauru o ngā ipu tae noa ki te wa e tangohia ai e te karetao ngā mea hangarua katoa i te 90 kohikohinga ia meneti; ko tētahi atu rārangi rauemi i roto i tētahi atu rūma ko te wāhi e kohikohi ā-ringa ai ngā kaimahi i te pepa, ngā pouaka mai i te whitiki kawe neke me te putea.
Ko te pūnaha tēnei te mutunga o ngā tau maha o te haumitanga ki tētahi kaupapa e mahi ana ki te rohe maha-kāwanatanga, e ai ki ngā āpiha kua hanga he ahurea ā-rohe mō te hangarua hohe i roto i ngā kāinga, ngā pakihi me ngā wāhi tūmatanui.
Kei te whakaroa te reiti hangarua ā-motu o Michigan i te nuinga o te motu, arā, ko te 19 ōrau, ā, mā te pikinga ake o te whai wāhi ka whakaitihia ngā tukunga waro katoa, ā, ka tata atu ki ngā whāinga āhuarangi hou a te kawanatanga. E whakaatu ana te pūtaiao ko ngā hau kati kōtuhi pēnei i te hauhā me te methane ka mau i te wera i roto i te āhuarangi, ā, ka whai wāhi ki te mahana o te ao me te huringa āhuarangi.
I Michigan, ko ngā ture mō ngā mea ka taea te hangarua he mea taupatupatu e whakaatu ana mēnā ka whakatū kaupapa ngā hapori, ngā pakihi tūmataiti rānei, me ngā rauemi e whakaaetia ana e rātou. Ko ētahi wāhi he kirihou anake e whakamahia ana, ko ētahi he kāri parauri noa iho, ā, ko ētahi hapori kāore e tuku hangarua ana.
Ko te rerekētanga i waenga i ngā mahi hangarua i Emmett County me ētahi atu wāhi o Michigan ko te roa o te ora me te haumi ki ngā hanganga hangarua me ngā whanaungatanga roa me ngā pakihi e whakamahi anō ana i ngā rauemi. Kua kitea anō hoki he whakamahinga hou mō te peita rapa, ngā moenga kua whakamahia me ngā pūangi rama kanapa, e ai ki ngā āpiha.
"Ko te hunga i whakahaere i a Emmett County i taua wā he tino matatau ki te whakatenatena i te hangarua," te kī a Andy Torzdorf, te kaiwhakahaere kaupapa. "I whakauruhia e rātou te hangarua ki roto i tā rātou mahere whakahaere para totoka, nō reira mai i te tīmatanga, i whakaarohia e Emmett County te hangarua."
He teihana whakawhiti para te whare o Harbour Springs, e tukuna ai ngā para ki tētahi whenua tāpui kua kirimanahia, ā, he pokapū hangarua rua-awa hoki. E hiahiatia ana e tētahi ture ā-rohe kia haere ngā para o te whare katoa mā roto i te whare, ā, me utu e ngā kaikawe para katoa te utu tāpui kotahi.
"Ka taea e ngā kainoho te hangarua mō te kore utu. Kāore te para, nō reira he hihiri tonu ki te hangarua. Nō reira, he take anō tēnei mā ngā kainoho ki te hangarua – ki te hoko mai i ngā mea hangarua," te kī a Torzdorf.
E whakaatu ana ngā tatauranga i te tau 2020, i tukatukahia e te whare he 13,378 tana o ngā mea hangarua, i tākaihia, i utaina ki roto i ngā taraka iti, kātahi ka tukuna, ka hokona ki ngā momo pakihi hei whakamahi. I riro ēnei rauemi hei kēne hopi horoi, hei paepae tipu, hei pounamu wai, hei pouaka witi, tae noa ki te pepa wharepaku, me ētahi atu hua hou.
Ko te nuinga o ngā kamupene e hoko ana i ngā rauemi hangarua o Emmet County kei Michigan, kei ētahi atu wāhanga rānei o te rohe o Great Lakes.
Ka tukuna te konumohe ki te pokapū ratonga para a Gaylord; ka tukuna ngā kirihou Nama 1 me te 2 ki tētahi kamupene i Dundee hei hanga pirepire kirihou, ka hurihia hei pounamu hopi me te wai i muri mai; ka tukuna te kātene me te papa ipu ki tētahi kamupene i ngā mira Kraft o Upper Peninsula me tētahi kaihanga takai kai i Kalamazoo, me ētahi atu; ka tukuna ngā kātene me ngā kapu ki tētahi kaihanga tauera i Cheboygan; ka whakamahia anō te hinu motuka ki Saginaw; ka tukuna te karāhe ki tētahi kamupene i Chicago hei hanga pounamu, whakamahana me ngā mea whakakoi; ka tukuna ngā hikohiko ki ngā pokapū wetewete i Wisconsin; me ētahi atu wāhi mō ētahi atu rauemi.
I kitea e ngā kaiwhakahaere kaupapa tētahi wāhi i Virginia hei hoko i tētahi taraka kī tonu i ngā putea kirihou me ngā kete kiriata—he rauemi e mōhiotia ana he uaua ki te whakahaere nā te mea ka taea te whiri i roto i ngā mīhini wehewehe. Ka hangaia ngā putea kirihou hei rakau hiato hei whakapaipai.
Ka whakarite rātou ko ngā mea katoa e whakaaetia ana e Emmet County Recycling "he mea hangarua, he mea hangarua anō hoki," te kī a Tolzdorf. Kāore rātou e whakaae ki tētahi mea kāore he mākete kaha, ko te tikanga kāore he Styrofoam.
"Ko ngā mea hangarua katoa e ahu mai ana i te mākete taonga, nō reira i ētahi tau he teitei, i ētahi tau he iti. I te tau 2020 i whiwhi mātou i te $500,000 i te hoko i ngā mea hangarua, ā, i te tau 2021 neke atu i te $100 miriona tāra i whiwhi mātou," te kī a Tolzdorf.
"E whakaatu ana tēnei ka tino rerekē te mākete. I tino heke iho i te tau 2020; i hoki anō ki te taumata teitei i roto i ngā tau e rima i te tau 2021. Nō reira, kāore e taea e tātou te whakatakoto i ā tātou pūtea katoa ki te hoko o ngā mea hangarua. Engari ina pai, he pai, ā, ka tautoko i a tātou, ā, i ētahi wā kāore, me tautoko te teihana kawe waka i a tātou, me tautoko hoki i ā tātou pūtea."
I te tau 2020, tata ki te 125,000 iāri kūpiko o te para o ngā whare i whakahaerehia e te teihana whakawhiti o te kaunihera, ā, tata ki te $2.8 miriona te moni whiwhi i puta mai.
Nā te tāpiritanga o ngā mīhini wehewehe karetao i te tau 2020 i piki ake ai te whai huatanga o te mahi mā te 60 ōrau, ā, i piki ake hoki te hopunga o ngā mea hangarua mā te 11 ōrau, e ai ki tā Tolzdorf. Nā tēnei i maha ngā kirimana wā-katoa mō te kaupapa i utua hei mahi wā-katoa me ngā painga ā-rohe.
Kua roa ngā mahi a ngā kāwanatanga o mua me o nāianei ki te whakahou i ngā ture para totoka o Michigan, ā, kua hua ake ngā kaupapa ture e aro ana ki te whakapai ake i te hangarua, te whakakōmipiuta me te whakamahi anō i ngā rauemi. I paahitia ngā pire e te Whare Kāwanatanga i te puna o te tau 2021, engari kua mutu i roto i te Runanga Nui me te kore he kōrero a te komiti, he whakarongo rānei.
He maha ngā pūrongo i whakaputaina e te kāwanatanga e arotake ana i te take, ā, e whakatau ana ko te nuinga o ngā tāngata o Michigan e utu ana i te neke atu i te $1 piriona i te tau hei whakahaere i ā rātou para. O ēnei para o te whare, e $600 miriona te uara o ngā rauemi hangarua ka mutu ki ngā whenua ururua i ia tau.
Ko tētahi wāhanga o te ture e tatari ana kia whakahoutia e ngā kaunihera ā rātou kaupapa para totoka o nāianei ki ngā kaupapa whakahaere rauemi hou, te whakatakoto i ngā paearu hangarua, me te whakatairanga i te mahi tahi ā-rohe ki te whakatū i ngā pokapū hangarua me te whakakōmipiuta i te papaanga. Ka whakaratohia e te kawanatanga he putea tautoko mō ēnei mahi whakamahere.
He tauira pai ngā kaunihera o Marquette me Emmett mō ngā mahi ā-rohe ki te whakarato ratonga, e ai ki a Liz Browne, te kaiwhakahaere o te Rauemi Whakahaere Rauemi i te Tari Taiao, Ngā Roto Nui me te Pūngao o Michigan. Ka taea hoki e ētahi atu hapori o Michigan te whakawhanake i ngā kaupapa hangarua me te whakawairakau pakari e whai hua ana ki te ōhanga me te taiao, e ai ki a ia.
"He iti ake te pānga o te whakahokinga mai i tētahi mea ki te mahi i tērā i te tīmatanga ki ngā rauemi hou. Mēnā i angitu mātou ki te whakaputa rauemi i Michigan, ā, i whai mākete hoki i Michigan, ka tino whakaitihia e mātou te pānga ki te tuku kaipuke," te kī a Brown.
I kī a Browne rāua ko O'Brien kāore i taea e ētahi kamupene o Michigan te tiki i ngā rauemi hangarua e ranea ana i roto i ngā rohe o te kawanatanga. Me hoko e rātou ēnei rauemi mai i ētahi atu kawanatanga, mai i Kanata rānei.
I kī a Karl Hatopp, te kaiwhakahaere mekameka tuku i TABB Packaging Solutions i Dundee, ko te hopu ake i ngā mea hangarua mai i te awa para o Michigan ka tino whai hua ki ngā pakihi e whakawhirinaki ana ki te hoko rauemi kaihoko-muri mō ā rātou mahi whakaputa. E ai ki a ia, kua tīmata hoki a Emmett County, e hoko ana i ngā kirihou Nama 1 me Nama 2 mō ngā tau 20, ki te hoko rauemi mata mai i ngā pokapū hangarua i Marquette me Ann Arbor.
I kī a Hartop ka pakaruhia ngā kirihou hangarua hei kapia muri-kaihoko, arā, he "pellet," ka hokona atu ki ngā kaihanga i Westland me ētahi atu i Ohio me Illinois, ka hangaia hei kēne hopi horoi me ngā pounamu wai Absopure.
"Ko te nui ake o ngā rauemi ka taea e tātou te hoko (mai i roto) i Michigan, ko te pai ake o tō tātou noho," tana kī. "Mena ka taea e tātou te hoko atu i Michigan, ka taea e tātou te hoko iti iho i ngā wāhi pēnei i California, Texas, Winnipeg rānei."
Kei te mahi tahi te kamupene me ētahi atu pakihi o Dundee kua tipu ake i te umanga hangarua. Ko tētahi he kamupene hangarau ma, e ai ki a Hartop kua roa ia e mahi ana.
"I tīmata a Clean Tech me ngā kaimahi tokowhā, ā, inaianei kua neke atu i te 150 ā mātou kaimahi. Nō reira, he kōrero angitu tēnei," tana kī. "Ko te nui ake o ā mātou mahi hangarua, ko te nui ake o ngā mahi ka hangaia e mātou i Michigan, ā, ka noho tonu aua mahi ki Michigan. Nō reira, ki tā mātou titiro, he mea pai te whakanui ake i te hangarua."
Ko tētahi o ngā whāinga o te Mahere Āhuarangi Hauora o MI kua oti nei ko te whakapiki i ngā reiti hangarua ki te 45 ōrau pea i te tau 2030, me te tapahi i te haurua o ngā para kai. Ko ēnei mahi tētahi o ngā huarahi e karangahia ana e te mahere kia tutuki i Michigan tētahi ōhanga waro-kore i te tau 2050.
He kōrero ki ngā kaipānui: Ki te hoko koe i tētahi mea mā tētahi o ā mātou hononga hononga, ka whiwhi pea mātou i tētahi komihana.
