PLASTIK WASTE HAS SPREAD TO POLLUTE WATER SOURCES,

SUCH AS RIVERS AND LAKES. GLOBALLY, NO LESS THAN 1.000
RIVERS SERVE AS PLASTIC WASTE CONTAINERS, AND ARE A
MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO OCEAN POLLUTION. PLASTIC WASTE
HAS A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON WILDLIFE, WILDLIFE HABITATS AND
HUMANS.
CAUSES OF PLASTIC WASTE POLLUTION

• PEOPLES THROW GARBAGE CARELESSLY

• EXCESSIVE USE OF PLASTIC
• LACK OD LANDFILLS
 PEOPLES THROW GARBAGE CARELESSLY

AT PRESENT IT HAS BECOME A HABIT FOR PEOPLE TO LITTER, THEY DON’T

WANT TO CARE ABOUT THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT, IF GARBAGE
CONTINUES TO ACCUMULATE, THE RIVER ENVIRONMENT WILL BECOME DIRTY
AND UNSANITARY, AND WILL CAUSE FLOODING DURING THE RAINY SEASON.
 EXCESSIVE USE OF PLASTIC

SOCIETY’S DEPENDENCE ON PLASTIC USE IS ONE OF THE FACTORS CAUSING

PLASTIC WASTE WHICH CAN CAUSE AS MUCH CONCERN AS CLIMATE CHANGE.
INCREASING POLLUTION FROMM PLASTIC WASTE IS FAST BECOMING AN
URGENT ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS.
 LACK OD LANDFILLS

ALMOST ALL CITIES IN INDONESIA EXPERIENCE SEIROUS PROBLEMS RELATED

TO WASTE. THE CAUSE IS ASSESSED FROM THE MINIMAL LAND FOR FINAL
DISPOSAL, AS WELL AS THE PROCESSING THAT HAS NOT BEEN MAXIMIZED. SO
MANY PEOPLE CHOOSE TO THROW GARBAGE IN THE RIVER.
 PLASTIC WASTE POLLUTION SOLUTION

TO OVERCOME PLASTIC POLLUTION WHICH IS DETRIMENTAL TO PUBLIC

HEALTH, ANIMALS AND THE ENVIRONMENT, WE NEED LEGISLATIVE
GUIDELINES FOR THE REGULATION OF SINGLE USE PLASTIC PRODUCT.
SOCIETY MUST BE WISER IN USING AND MANAGING PLASTIC WASTE AND NOT
LITTERING
