So far, the community has only known that greenhouse gas emissions are caused by pollution from motor vehicles. Vinda explains that one of the factors causing global warming or the increase of other greenhouse gases is poorly managed waste.

The following is the translation of the 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "National Waste Management Information System data shows that in 2022, the amount of waste accumulation in Indonesia reached 96.2 million tons, with the largest portion of 41 percent being food waste. Other waste contributors that have a significant impact on global warming are plastic, accounting for 18.6 percent, and paper, accounting for 10.7 percent."

The lack of public awareness in managing waste is causing global warming to increase. This condition raises the risk of Jakarta sinking, as predicted. Preventive efforts must be made by all sectors to maintain the stability of the Earth's temperature.

"Let's make sure that the increase in global temperature does not exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius because Jakarta might sink if the ice melts in the North Pole. Therefore, we must take care of it and all stakeholders must make efforts according to their respective capacities,"

word Vinda.

It doesn't have to be a grand action, small efforts can be made by various groups in an attempt to prevent further global warming. One of them is to start a minimal waste lifestyle. Instead of talking a lot, let's apply these 4 ways to reduce waste in our daily lives:

1. Waste sorting

Waste sorting can be done starting from small sectors such as households. The sorted waste can be sent to a waste bank, recycling industry, or ecopreneur communities to be processed again.

2. Recycling waste

The community can also take small steps by managing waste and turning it into something beneficial such as compost or eco enzyme.

3. Use sustainable products.

The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags is: "The packaging of a product is often difficult to recycle. Therefore, manufacturers must modify the product packaging to make it more durable and recyclable."
