When we go
shopping in a supermarket or department store, we’re usually given a plastic
bag at check out, but did you know that the use of plastic bags is pretty
harmful for the environment? It can cause so much damage, such as flood,
excessive use of energy, and even the death of marine ecosystem.
To reduce
the use of plastic bags, the Plastic Bag Diet Movement (Gerakan Diet Kantong
Plastik) is trying to educate the communities to wisely use plastic bag. This
movement was established in early 2013 by a group of institutions, such as
Change.org, Ciliwung Insitute, Earth Hour Indonesia, Plastic Detox, etc that
care about the environment.
Their main
campaign encourages people to use their own fabric bag for shopping. If they
still want to use plastic bag, try to reuse the plastic bag as long as
possible, so it will reduce the consumption of plastic.
Not only
that, the Plastic Bag Diet Movement also has 5 campaign programs. There are
#WisataPlastik, #RampokPlastik, #Pay4Plastic, #HeadBagMob, and #TshirtBag. For
example, #WisataPlastik is an activity where people can explore the Ciliwung
River by boat and picking up the trash on the river.
