Tabanan, PorosBali.com - Source-based sorting of waste is the key to the answer to the problem of plastic waste, which has become a scourge until now. Not only for that environment but also the scourge of Balinese tourism. There is Made Janur Yasa, the initiator of the Bali Plastic Exchange. He said that through the exchange of plastic waste, the community that cares about the environment seeks to educate the public about handling plastic waste through "education", namely an educational movement in action carried out jointly.
One example he did with foreign citizens (WNA) who care about the preservation of nature and the environment of Bali and the figure of the castle AA Ngurah Bagus Erawan from Puri (Castle) Anyar Kerambitan, Sunday, 28th of February, 2021 at Puri Anyar Kerambitan, Kerambitan District, Regency of Tabanan.
The man who was born in Tabanan invited the whole community to get used to sorting waste from its source. Waste sorting should start from the kitchen of each household. Mixed trash has no value. "For this reason, the waste must be sorted," explained Janur Yasa accompanied by the Head of the Environment Office of Tabanan Regency, I Made Subagia.
He hopes that housewives while cooking in the kitchen will start to learn to sort waste. Plastic trash bins must be separated from organic waste bins, so that when exchanged, the waste must have been sorted and separated. Plastic waste can be exchanged during the plastic exchange.
Plastic exchange or the exchange of plastic waste with rice in Bali, especially in Tabanan Regency, has been going on for several months. The actions taken because of the Covid-19 pandemic have proven to be able to change people's habits.
"In Bali, during the action, the plastic waste collected reached 800 tons," he said.
Meanwhile, the Founder of Plastic Exchange, Gil Petersil, said that he was very happy and enthusiastic about helping to participate in cleaning Bali's nature from plastic waste. "We are very inspired that in the future Bali can become an example for the world on how to deal with this plastic waste," he said.
The figure of the Puri Anyar Kerambitan, Anak Agung Ngurah Bagus Erawan, really appreciates this plastic exchange activity, especially foreign nationals who really care and love the island of Bali, so we as castle figures are very grateful to them.
"During this pandemic, we plan to hold activities here every month, in addition to making nature clean, the community can also be helped with the help of basic necessities from exchanging plastic waste," he explained. (Pbm5)
