POLLUTED RIVER IN JAKARTA

Waste Disposal Solutions in Ciliwung  Solution to the problem of garbage in the river Ciliwung are: 1. sensitize the public that littering it could be bad for the environment, especially the environment of the river Ciliwung 2. Distinguish organic and non-organic garbage, so that organic waste can be managed back into compost / organic. In this case Ciliwung river communities have applied for fifteen years, this has happened in the home belonging to the Environmental Movement Ciliwung compost Green in East Jakarta. So people look at that garbage as economic value, so that low-income people see this as an opportunity to earn a fortune. 3. Dredge Ciliwung river, dredging the river is perhaps not too difficult because the government of Jakarta has a lot of experience, it's just that these dredging activities should be done regularly and done properly, meaning the river sediment is removed and dumped into landfills that have been provided, not just trash who exist on the surface. These activities also need to be done together with awareness activities to not throw garbage into the river. Currently around 18% of waste in Jakarta dumped into the river, and if the amount of daily waste production is 5000 m3, it means there is 900 m3 of waste dumped into the river each day. The next one is making wastewater pipelines, mainly along the Ciliwung River. This requires considerable cost and would disrupt its implementation will already congested traffic in Jakarta, but there was no other choice. Hanoi city in Vietnam alone has a sewage network system that serves 30% of the population of the city, while the wastewater network in the new Jakarta airport about 2% of the population, and even then limited in Setiabudi. 4. To address the residents are fairly wild in sepanjanng Ciliwung river, patterns of reasonable compensation to the relocation program that carefully planned is an option that needs to be considered. 5. Procurement waste bank as was done by the people of Bantul. Garbage collecting society which has been separated between the organic and non-organic. Furthermore, people who mengmpulkan it will get a card like bank customers. So the more people save their garbage in the garbage bank, the bank account will be growing ..

Trash heap of various kinds often easily found in various corners of the city Metropolitan. Just pile up and unkempt. The rubbish is piling up so much in places that are not supposed to, and the janitor are often overwhelmed handle. Not to mention the garbage like plastic, bottles and cigarette butts strewn familiar places of recreation or entertainment. You will remember the moment the turn of the year at the beginning of January. At that time many people celebrate New Year's Eve, in the streets and many other entertainment venues. Everyone soluble in excitement. The next day what happened ?? Jakarta became a field of garbage. Garbage is not only unpleasant odors and in the eye, but also cause environmental pollution and air pollution.

The issue of garbage in Jakarta is complicated. It is common knowledge that the garbage had a hand in the floods that hit Jakarta almost every year. When the water catchment areas increasingly depleted water discharge plus submissions from other regions, for example Bogor, the river should be a tool to accommodate a maximum of water. The problem, garbage piling up along the river inhibit the rate of water, so do not ask why the river often overflowed when the rainy season arrives. Ciliwung like a classic song that continues to be played and replayed again. Not you bored? Same.

Through this blog I want to just share a solution to overcome the problem of litter, especially in Jakarta. This is just my personal opinion and hopefully can be a useful reference for you or perhaps the government in order to minimize the buildup of solid waste while preserving the environment.

FOR INDIVIDUAL OR INDIVIDUALS:
1. Raise Awareness and Concern About the Environment

As the story of my friend above, awareness of environmental hygiene, especially in our living space should be increased. INITIAL PHASE It is simple yet difficult as upholding the wet yarn. Character "bodo period" and "quasi practically" ingrained in Indonesian society themselves. I think the government has run out of sense of how effective way to open people's hearts. Socialization, counseling programs, appeal to a fine even if it turns out fruitful zero. Now it's time for you to reflect on this a little bit, call your soul, yet it's for your own good, as well as your children later. Stop blaming Jokowi, or local government Bogor. Like it or not the behavior was not clean from the public the fact is the core of this waste problem.

2. Start from Home

Start the habit of throwing garbage in place at home. Provide bins in every room of your home. It is better separated between the plastic and non-plastic, to be more easily grouped in landfills later. Do not throw plastic bags containing garbage into the river. Focus your attention to the trash. Do not forget to teach good habits in your children!

3. Try to Reduce the Use of Plastic

Almost all the drinks and food sold using plastic packaging such as crackle. All shops, mini market or markets generally use a plastic bag to wrap or accommodate groceries. Plastic is usually made of PVC or polysteren with a variety of colors and patterns. Did you know that the use of plastic to wrap food directly eat cake for example, can lead to cancer ?? Because of harmful chemical substances in a plastic can stick to the food, in the long term, as this habit can trigger cancer. Be careful when buying food like that, try the cake first wrapped with paper or banana leaves (I prefer a banana leaf, in addition naturally also healthy).

Plastics also had a big hand in the pollution of the environment, especially the soil. Plastics including types of organic garbage tough non described. Takes up to 500 years in order to decompose completely. Plastic waste will affect the level of soil fertility, and ultimately pohonlah were affected. Just think of a world without trees like humans without lungs, certainly difficult to breathe, right? Trees have an important role in the absorption of carbon dioxide and release oxygen. The more trees, the better the air quality, and certainly far from pollution.

Merely suggest, perhaps you can start reducing the use of plastic by providing its own a special plastic for shopping. So the amount of plastic in your home will not increase every time you shop. I was actually hoping shopping centers such as supermarkets and mini does not use plastic as a consumer purchases a container. I think a better fabric, of course fabrics designed environmentally friendly and not harmful to health. Imagine if all the minimarket implement this, it would be an enormous contribution to reduce the volume of plastic waste.

4. Sharpen Creativity

For personal creative and educated in particular students, university students or entrepreneurs are expected to continue to improvise to assist the processing of recycled waste. There are many examples of inspirational figure both on television and mass media were successful in recycling waste into useful commodity that is worth selling competitive. Jakarta needs more people like them.

FOR THE GOVERNMENT:
1. Simplify Access Disposal

Access disposal play an important role in order to avoid accumulation of garbage. The Government, in this case represented by the janitor could emulate the steps that are applied in developed countries. The garbage collection days janitor will go to residents of the housing complex directly. Residents stay put trash in cans that have been provided, for example, in front of the house, but for the most dense settlements in Jakarta (let's say that instead of elite housing) should be provided where / concentration garbage disposal are numerous and evenly. Residents could be self-sufficient for its manufacture or ask for assistance related parties, then the officer stayed transport all the waste. What is wrong to imitate Japan or the United States, right? What is clear is the ease of access of citizens to dispose of waste will certainly help them to not littering.

2. Manage and Maximize Health Officer Role

Health officers are the main target for the handling of objects called trash. How they can work properly without adequate facilities ?? I think they need to be supplemented fleet, both in the number of personnel, the number of car transporter or the means of supporting others. Not my portion to discuss the cost, I'm just a citizen who express opinions for the environment clean and free of garbage. That is all. City Sanitation Department must also manage their systems work as good as possible for the sake of optimum results. For example, they must routinely make sweeping and transporting every few days. As I alluded to above, the quantity of officers will be very influential. They should have a representative / branch in each village or district, making it more coordinated.

3. Give Officers Appreciation More

I think this is also worth considering. Health officers are generally dressed dirty and unattractive. It had been so junk cars they operate also impressed ugly, dirty and poorly maintained. It's good to give them more appreciation governments so that they feel valued, because basically their work including honorable and noble job. For example they made a special uniform which is nice and neat, the car they wear colored with bright colors, so as not to seem dirty. So that they look like people never deal with dirt. The government also should provide a reasonable wage (high), so that they remain disciplined in their work.

4. Boost Extension

The government should consistently provide counseling to the residents about proper waste management follows the danger to the environment. Suppose the difference of organic waste and non-organic, how to treat the types of hazardous waste such as batteries, medicine bottles, or tools hospitals and others. The Government is also actively cooperating with organizations charged or NGOs concerned with the environment such as WWF, for example to promote this to the citizens, hopes the community's understanding of garbage can lead to awareness and concern to keep the environment clean and healthy.

5. Develop in Shelter End Processing

All waste transported from various areas in Jakarta edges will be accommodated in a landfill (Landfill) Bantargebang in Bekasi. Bantar Gebang is not without problems. Land there is not just how extensive when compared with the amount of waste that must be accommodated. This is compounded by the slow processing. Bantargebang was turned into a mountain of garbage while the government itself did not have any other alternative locations. Tons of garbage from various types accumulate there. Instead of taking out the trash, but instead it made a new problem.

Bantargebang region is not an area without residents. If trash increasingly mounting without coupled to the processing / destruction of intense, then it could have an impact on the incidence of health problems for local residents.

There are many techniques to process waste such as incineration (burning) is a direct combustion process the carbon content in the trash to be utilized as energy, the manufacture of compost derived from organic waste, landfill (accumulation in the soil) and recycling techniques. Limited resources and costs have been the reason for delays in the processing of garbage at the site. It is time the Government is keen in cooperating with the private sector or the self-employed who berkecipung in the field of waste recycling for processing this project. The reason was that tend rambling without decisive action will only make Bantargebang increasingly crowded by garbage.

Ahead of the 2014 elections next April, I hope elected leaders will be more concerned and serious in dealing with garbage in Jakarta. Therefore, keep this going until when? Jakarta is currently already holds the title as the most polluted city in Asia due to the garbage. Here I simply speak out and express opinions. Perhaps many flaws here and there, the rest I'm sorry. Hope it is useful. Thank You.
