Ekhulwini lama-21, umhlaba ubhekene nenkinga enkulu yemvelo - ukwehla okusheshayo kokumbozwa kwamahlathi emhlabeni wonke. Idatha eshaqisayo yembula ukuthi eminyakeni engama-30 edlule, amahlathi okuqala omhlaba angama-34% abhujisiwe. Lo mkhuba othusayo uholele ekunyamalaleni kwezihlahla ezicishe zibe yizigidigidi eziyi-1.3 minyaka yonke, okulingana nokulahlekelwa yindawo yehlathi elingangenkundla yebhola njalo ngomzuzu. Umthelela oyinhloko kulo monakalo yimboni yokukhiqiza iphepha yomhlaba wonke, ekhiqiza amathani ephepha ayizigidi ezingama-320 minyaka yonke.
Phakathi nale nkinga yemvelo, i-Oulu ithathe ukuma okuqinile okusekela ukuvikelwa kwemvelo. Yamukela izimiso zokuzinza, i-Oulu isekele imbangela yokushintsha ukhuni ngoqalo, isebenzisa i-pulp kaqalo ukwenza iphepha ngaleyo ndlela inciphisa isidingo semithombo yezihlahla. Ngokusho kwedatha yemboni kanye nokubala okucophelelayo, kutholakale ukuthi umuthi ongu-150kg, ovame ukuthatha iminyaka engu-6 kuya kweyishumi ukukhula, ungakhiqiza cishe ama-20 kuya ku-25kg ephepha eliqediwe. Lokhu kulingana namabhokisi acishe abe ngu-6 ephepha le-Oulu, okusindisa ngempumelelo umuthi ongu-150kg ekugawulweni.
Ngokukhetha iphepha lika-Oulu eliyi-bamboo pulp, abathengi bangafaka isandla ngenkuthalo ekulondolozweni kohlaza emhlabeni. Isinqumo ngasinye sokukhetha imikhiqizo yephepha eqhubekayo ye-Oulu simelela isinyathelo esibonakalayo sokulondolozwa kwemvelo. Kungumzamo ohlanganyelwe wokuvikela izinsiza eziyigugu zomhlaba kanye nokulwa nokugawulwa kwamahlathi okungapheli okusongela imvelo yethu.
Empeleni, ukuzibophezela kuka-Oulu ekushintsheni ukhuni ngoqalo akuyona nje isu lebhizinisi; kuyisicelo esikhulu sokwenza okuthile. Kukhuthaza abantu ngabanye namabhizinisi ngokufanayo ukuba bazivumelanise nesizathu esihle sokuvikelwa kwemvelo. Sisonke, no-Oulu, masisebenzise amandla okukhetha okusimeme futhi senze umthelela obalulekile ekulondolozweni kobuhle bemvelo beplanethi yethu.
