ARSIP PRIBADI

Mahariah The image of Thousand Islands as a new tourist destination has gradually faded because of the growing problem of plastic waste and environmental damage. Mahariah, 49, is well aware of that.

The mother of two children encourages the community to fight rubbish and preserve the environment. Dozens of trash bins made from used plastic bottles were to be seen on every street corner on Pramuka island, one of the biggest islands in Thousand Islands, Jakarta on Saturday (26/6/2019).

The recycled plastic bins are evidence of the struggle of the Thousand Islands community against plastic waste. They are aware that trash is the main enemy of tourism in Thousand Islands. Imagine surfing around the beach and finding plastic bottles, detergent packs and plastic bags floating in every square meter of the sea.
