Garbage… garbage everywhere
Garbage
Two days ago, I went to Rumah Perubahan, a place to recycle garbage, to see weather we, Yasashii World can cooperate with them or not. As Yasashii World recycle plastic in a small amount, we can’t deal with this mountain of garbage but we would like to make sure that if people keep on throwing garbage without categorizing, the garbage will be a huge problem, and it is a huge one.. not only because we can’t use the good plastic anymore but because:
- It takes time to categorize the garbage between the organic one, the plastic one, paper one and the one that can not be recycled.
- The organic waste will decay and will cast out a terrible smell….
- Because of the organic waste, we can not recycle the paper garbage anymore
- We have to use water and soap to clean the plastic garbage which mean it will cost a lot …. either money, time and energy
When we see the people categorizing the garbage, there was a pain in my heart that made me think how to solve this garbage problem…. As you can see, we always categorize garbage before throwing it out. Paper, plastic, organic and the miscellaneous one. The results are:
- It was organized already, the garbage man doesn’t have to waste his time categorizing
- The organic waste won’t make other garbage dirty and smelly
- We still can recycle the paper
- We don’t have to spend our time, money and energy to clean the plastic to be recycled…
So there is a huge difference between categorizing and not categorizing…. We’re planning to educate, educate and educate the young generation in Indonesia to start categorizing garbage…. other wise, it will be too late,… it is now to make the change….
