"Of course it is very worrying if this continues, especially before the rainy season. Therefore, we continue to carry out outreach to residents by involving the sub-district heads," he said.
River Surfing Involves Lebak Scouts
Deputy Regent of Lebak Amir Hamzah said that the Ciujung River tracing activity was not only aimed at cleaning the banks, but also at strengthening community awareness of the preservation of the river.
Amir, who also serves as Chair of the Lebak Regency Scout Movement Branch Quarter, assessed that this activity could be a means of instilling environmental awareness in the younger generation.
"The Ciujung River walk is a momentum to strengthen the spirit of mutual cooperation and concern for the environment. People should not throw rubbish into the river because there are still people who throw rubbish on the riverbank," he said.
According to Amir, the Scout Movement not only plays a role in shaping the character of the younger generation, but also needs to be directly involved in social activities and environmental conservation.
"Through this river crossing activity, we want to instill awareness in the younger generation so that they work together to maintain cleanliness and environmental sustainability. Rivers are an important part of people's lives that we must protect together," he said.
He hopes that these activities will not stop at transporting rubbish. Changes in people's habits are needed so that the banks and flow of the Ciujung River do not become a dumping ground again.
