- People managed waste with recycle (composting, using as
an energy source, make creative product), reuse and move it
to landfills.

this system.

3. I concerned about problem of waste, because this will have a
negative impact on ecosystems and human life.
The solution about this problem are :
- we need to educate, persuade everyone to care, aware and
be responsible for their waste,
- Minimalize consume plastic for shopping and change to use
cloth or reusable bags,
- Separate waste based on type of waste (organic or
inorganic), recycle and reuse waste.
- find the best ways to treat waste (technology).
My small action : bring cloth or reusable bags when shopping,
bring water in reusable bottle.
