Early Education Regarding Waste Management at Saba 3 State Elementary School, Gianyar Regency University General
On Thursday, November 23, 2023, the Environmental Engineering Study Program at the Faculty of Engineering, Udayana University, actively engaged in community service by organizing a Waste Management Socialization event at Elementary School 3 Saba, Gianyar Regency.
The activity was targeted at students in grades 4, 5, and 6, with the primary objective of providing a better understanding of waste management. The socialization was conducted with an engaging approach for children, making them more aware of the importance of waste sorting from an early age. As part of the socialization initiative, the Environmental Engineering Study Program provided Waste Sorting Baskets to each class, designed to separate inorganic waste from hazardous waste B3. This step aimed to stimulate the children's awareness of the importance of environmental preservation.
Furthermore, the installation of biopores was a crucial aspect of this activity. Three points at the location of Elementary School 3 Saba were selected for biopore installation, a tangible effort to support organic waste management systems. The event was attended by the Head of the Environmental Engineering Study Program, the Head of Elementary School 3 Saba, faculty members, and staff from the Environmental Engineering Program, as well as teachers from Elementary School 3 Saba. Additionally, the Environmental Engineering Study Program collaborated with the Environmental Engineering Student Association to have a more significant impact on the execution of the event.
Ida Ayu Rai Widhiawati, ST., MT., Head of the Environmental Engineering Study Program, expressed, "Through this activity, we hope that children can comprehend the significance of their role in maintaining environmental cleanliness. Early waste management education is the key to creating a generation that is more environmentally conscious." The socialization is anticipated not only to impart understanding but also to serve as the initial step in fostering an environmentally conscious culture among children. The Environmental Engineering Study Program is committed to continually contribute to environmental preservation efforts through community-based activities like these.
