Have you ever think of what to do with your waste? Do you recycle or just dump them at a landfill?
Through our journey of collecting garbage along with our local friends from SMP 3 Abiansemal this morning, I realized how much plastics we consume everyday in our life. Although we could recycle most of those plastics, sadly people are not aware of that and just dump them in random places or burn it which can harm the environment.
An environmentalist that joined our journey today to visits places where some of the waste in Bali ended up mentioned that when you throw your garbage or burn them it’s the same as throwing and burning money. Because if you up-cycle (remaking the waste into another kind of form) them, you could sell it and obtain money from it. WASTE can be MONEY??? yeah… Glass bottles can become beautiful drinking glasses, tires could become awesome looking wallets, sterofoams into beanbags… ^^
So guys, lets create this new trend… RECYCLE and UP-CYCLE, make money out of it! Be smart with your waste, and make our home and environment a better place. ^^
