Of course it will pollute the environment.


At the request of the community group in Pedawa Village, the Udayana Serving Team, chaired by Mrs. Ir. Kadek Diana Harmayani, ST. MT. PhDs. IPM, with lecturers from the Environmental Engineering Study Program, Faculty of Engineering, Udayana University, held a dedication to Pedawa Village on 16 August 2022 to provide an explanation regarding environmental pollution that occurs as a result of dumping used cooking oil into sewers or onto the land around the house and processing used cooking oil into soap to reduce environmental pollution.
