Siphila kwihlabathi elingenamkhethe kuyo nantoni na “ekhawulezayo”—ukutya okukhawulezayo, imijikelo ekhawulezileyo kumatshini wokuhlamba impahla, ukuthunyelwa kosuku olunye, iiodolo zokutya ezinefestile yokuhanjiswa kwemizuzu engama-30, uludwe luyaqhubeka. Ukwaneliseka kunye nokwangoko (okanye ngokusondeleyo kangangoko kunokwenzeka) kuyakhethwa, ngoko ke kuyinto eqhelekileyo ukuba iindlela zoyilo lwasekhaya kunye nezinto ezikhethwayo zitshintshele kwifanitshala ekhawulezayo.

Kodwa ngexabiso elingakanani?

Ngokutsho kwe-EPA, abantu baseMelika kuphela balahla ngaphezulu kwe-12 yezigidi zeetoni zefenitshala kunye nefenitshala ngonyaka. Yaye ngenxa yokuntsonkotha nokwahlukahlukana kwezinto kwizinto ezininzi—ezinye ziyakwazi ukuphinda zisetyenziswe ezinye azikho—ngaphezu kweetoni ezizizigidi ezisithoba zeglasi, ilaphu, isinyithi, ufele nezinye izinto.
ziphelela kwiindawo zokulahla inkunkuma, nazo.

Iimpawu kwinkunkuma yefenitshala ziye zanda phantse izihlandlo ezihlanu ukususela kwiminyaka yoo-1960 kwaye ngelishwa, ezininzi zezi ngxaki zinokudityaniswa ngokuthe ngqo ekukhuleni kwefenitshala ekhawulezayo.

UJulie Muniz, iBay Area, umcebisi woqikelelo lwamazwe ngamazwe, umlondolozi, kunye nengcali yoyilo lwekhaya oluthe ngqo kumthengi, unobunzima kwingxaki ekhulayo. “Njengefashoni ekhawulezayo, ifenitshala ekhawulezayo iveliswa ngokukhawuleza, ithengiswe ngexabiso eliphantsi, yaye akulindelwanga ukuba ihlale ngaphezu kweminyaka embalwa,” utsho, “ifanitshala ekhawulezayo yaqaliswa yi-IKEA, eyaba yinkampani yehlabathi evelisa iziqwenga ezisicaba.
enokuthi idityaniswe ngumthengi. ”

Ukusuka kude 'kuKhawuleze'

Iinkampani zihamba kancinci kudidi lwefenitshala ekhawulezayo.

I-IKEA

Umzekelo, nangona i-IKEA ibonwa ngokubanzi njengomntwana wepowusta yefenitshala ekhawulezayo, i-Muniz yabelana ngokuba batyale ixesha kunye nophando lokulungisa lo mbono kwiminyaka yakutshanje. Ngoku banikezela ngemiyalelo ye-dis-assembly kunye neenketho zokuqhekeza iziqwenga ukuba ifenitshala ifuna ukuhanjiswa okanye ukugcinwa.

Ngapha koko, i-IKEA-eqhayisa ngaphezulu kwe-400 yeevenkile zelizwe lonke kunye ne-26 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kwingeniso yonyaka-isungule inyathelo lozinzo ngo-2020, iPeople & Planet Positive (uyakwazi ukubona i-asethi epheleleyo apha), kunye nemephu yendlela yeshishini kunye nezicwangciso zokuba yinkampani esetyhula ngokupheleleyo ngonyaka ka-2030. Oku kuthetha ukuba yonke imveliso abayidalayo iyilwe ngenjongo yokuba ilungiswe, isetyenziswe ngokutsha, isetyenziswe kwakhona, iphuculwe ngokuzinzileyo kwisithuba seminyaka elishumi ezayo.

IBhadi yePottery

Ngo-Okthobha ka-2020, ifenitshala kunye nevenkile yokuhombisa iPottery Barn yaphehlelela inkqubo yayo esetyhula, iPottery Barn Renewal, umthengisi wokuqala omkhulu wefenitshala yekhaya ukumisela umgca ohlaziyiweyo ngentsebenziswano neThe Renewal Workshop. Inkampani engumzali wayo, iWilliams-Sonoma, Inc., izibophelele kwi-75% yenguqu yokulahla inkunkuma kuyo yonke imisebenzi ngo-2021.

Ezinye izinto ezixhalabisayo ngeFanitshala eKhawulezayo kunye nezinye iindlela

UCandice Batista, Intatheli yezeNdalo, iNgcali ye-Eco, kunye nomseki we-ecohub.ca, ulinganisa. ngefanitshala ekhawulezayo linani leetyhefu ezifumaneka kwiilaphu zefenitshala kunye nokugqitywa. Iikhemikhali ezifana ne-formaldehyde, neurotoxins, carcinogens, kunye neentsimbi ezinzima. Okufanayo kuya kwi-foam. Yaziwa ngokuba yi “Sick Building Syndrome” kunye nongcoliseko lomoya wangaphakathi, nto leyo i-EPA ithi imbi kakhulu kunongcoliseko lomoya wangaphandle.

UBatista uzisa enye inkxalabo efanelekileyo. Umkhwa wefenitshala ekhawulezayo uhamba ngaphaya kwempembelelo yokusingqongileyo. Ngomnqweno wefashoni, ukulungeleka, kunye noyilo olukhawulezayo nolungenantlungu lwekhaya, abathengi banokujongana nemingcipheko yempilo, nabo.

Ukuze unikeze isisombululo, ezinye iinkampani zokulawula inkunkuma ziphuhlisa iindlela zokukhetha umthengi onoxanduva, ukuqala kwinqanaba lequmrhu. IMigangatho yoHlaza, inkampani yozinzo, yenze iinkqubo zokuphelisa uxanduva lweeofisi zeshishini kunye neekhampasi. Banikezela ngeendlela zokunikela, ukuthengisa ngokutsha, kunye nokuphinda kusetyenziswe izinto ezindala ngethemba lokunciphisa impembelelo yendalo esingqongileyo kwinqanaba lehlabathi. Iinkampani ezifana nokuLungiswa kweFanitshala eKhawulezileyo nazo zilwa ngokukhawuleza ingxaki yefenitshala ngokunika yonke into ukusuka kwi-touch-ups ukuya kwi-upholstery yenkonzo epheleleyo kunye nokulungiswa kwesikhumba.

U-Floyd, isiqalo esekwe eDenver esekwe nguKyle Hoff kunye no-Alex O'Dell, naye wenze ezinye iindlela zefenitshala. I-Floyd Leg yabo-indawo efana ne-clamp enokuguqula nayiphi na indawo ethe tyaba ibe yitafile-inika iinketho kuwo onke amakhaya ngaphandle kwamaqhekeza amakhulu okanye indibano enzima. I-Kickstarter yabo ye-2014 ivelise ngaphezulu kwe-$ 256,000 kwingeniso kwaye ukususela ekusungulweni kwayo, inkampani iye yaqhubela phambili ukudala iinketho ezihlala ixesha elide, ezizinzileyo.

Ezinye iinkampani zefenitshala zeminyaka emitsha, njenge-Los-Angeles yokuqalisa, iFernish, inika abathengi ithuba lokuqesha izinto ezikhethwayo rhoqo ngenyanga okanye ngokwekhontrakthi. Ngokufikeleleka kunye nokulula engqondweni, izivumelwano zabo zibandakanya ukuhanjiswa kwamahhala, ukudibanisa, kunye nokhetho lokwandisa, ukutshintsha, okanye ukugcina izinto ekupheleni kwexesha lokurenta. I-Fernish ikwaqhayisa ngefanitshala ehlala ixesha elide kunye nemodyuli ngokwaneleyo ukuba ube nobomi besibini emva kwexesha lokuqala lokurenta. Ukuhlaziya izinto, inkampani isebenzisa inxenye kunye nokutshintshwa kwelaphu, kunye nenyathelo eli-11 lococeko kunye nenkqubo yokuhlaziya kusetyenziswa imathiriyeli efumaneka ngokuzinzileyo.

“Inxalenye enkulu yomsebenzi wethu kukunciphisa loo nkunkuma, ngento esiyibiza ngokuba luqoqosho olusetyhula,” utshilo uFernish Cofounder uMichael Barlow, “Ngamanye amazwi, sinikezela kuphela ngamaqhekeza avela kubavelisi abathembekileyo abenziwe ukuba bahlale, ngoko ke ekwazi ukuzihlaziya kwaye abanike ubomi besibini, besithathu, nobesine. Ngo-2020 kuphela siye sakwazi ukugcina iitoni ezingama-247 zefanitshala ekungeneni kwindawo yokulahla inkunkuma, ngoncedo lwabo bonke abathengi bethu.

Uhlabela mgama esithi: “Abantu abafanele bazikhathaze ngokuzibophelela ngonaphakade, banokuzitshintsha izinto, bazibuyisele xa iimeko zabo zitshintshile, okanye bagqibe kwelokuba baziqeshise.

Iinkampani ezifana neFernish zibonelela ngokulula, ukuguquguquka kunye nozinzo olujolise ekubetheni ingxaki kanye empumlweni-ukuba awunayo ibhedi okanye isofa, awukwazi ukuyiphosa kwindawo yokulahla inkunkuma.

Ekugqibeleni, intsingiselo ejikeleze ifanitshala ekhawulezayo iyatshintsha njengoko ukhetho lutshintshela ekuthengeni abathengi-umbono wokukhetha, ukulungeleka, kunye nokufikeleleka, ngokuqinisekileyo-ngelixa usazi kakuhle ukuba ukusetyenziswa kwakho komntu ngamnye kuchaphazela njani uluntu.

Njengoko ziya zisanda iinkampani, amashishini, kunye neempawu zenza ezinye iindlela, ithemba kukunciphisa impembelelo yokusingqongileyo ngokuqala, okokuqala, ngokwazisa. Ukusuka apho, utshintsho olusebenzayo lunokwenzeka kwaye luya kwenzeka ukusuka kwiinkampani ezinkulu ukuya kutsho kumthengi ngamnye.
