"The most important is how to manage waste in the upstream. For instance, changes in mindset and lifestyle because the volume of waste can't be separated from the way of human life," he stated.

He added, when we consume goods also need to think about the goods whether it can be used up or leaving a lot of residue. Therefore, talk of the environment, it is not limited to waste, but much more extensive than waste management.

"Everyone must be invited to participate in the development and environment. Starting from today, the environment should be a mobilization, and starting from personal, home, school, workplace, and environment in general," he closed.
