Sungai Watch and PKK Bali Clean Sidakarya Mangroves, Encourage Waste Reduction from Upstream

Made said this activity was Sungai Watch's first collaboration with TP PKK and TP Posyandu Bali Province and Denpasar City. This collaboration is expected to strengthen residents' awareness of the cleanliness of rivers, coasts and seas.

He also appreciated the involvement of the Chair of the TP PKK and Posyandu Bali Province, Putri Koster, in mobilizing cadres to protect the environment.

"We see the enthusiasm of Mother, Mother and Daughter as a spirit to mobilize PKK women to routinely clean the surrounding environment. However, we must be wise in treating waste," he said.

Build Cleaning Habits from Home

The Kulkul PKK and Posyandu movements are held regularly on the first Sunday of every month. Residents are invited to keep their home environment and surrounding areas clean, then expand activities to public spaces.

This movement also encourages maintenance of the telajakan or area on the edge of the road in front of the yard as part of daily environmental cleanliness.

Monitoring and evaluation is carried out in nine districts/cities to support the sustainability of activities. Through this pattern, cleanliness is expected to become a common habit that grows from the smallest environment.

Apart from protecting coastal areas, this activity is expected to strengthen mutual cooperation and community involvement in waste management.
