High school students of East Java’s SMAN 9 Surabaya, a member of the Ecosongo environmental group, take part in a discussion in the Toyota Eco Gallery on Wednesday (15/11). Toyota Eco Gallery is PT Toyota-Astra Motor’s CSR program that encourages students to develop their knowledge of the environment.

As other teenagers spend most of their time surfing online, a group of youngsters are fighting for a cleaner environment. Grouped under the Ecosongo community, their mission is a simple one: collecting trash at traditional markets.

Novia Rahmadani, 15, and more than a dozen of her friends sat in a circle on Wednesday (15/11) at SMAN 9 high school’s Ecosongo center in Surabaya, East Java. They were discussing their plans for a gerebek pasar (market visit) to Kapas Krampung market in Surabaya. The activity has been running since its launch in 2014.
