On that occasion, he invited all residents of Jakarta to adopt a clean and low-emission lifestyle as a concrete step to protect the environment.

He emphasized the importance of switching to public transportation and eco-friendly transportation modes as a collective effort towards a better future for Jakarta.

"Let's adopt a clean and low-emission lifestyle by prioritizing the use of public transportation and low-emission transport modes. I believe that every small effort made will become a legacy for Jakarta to meet its new role in the future," he added.

He asserted that Jakarta's efforts to become a livable and sustainable global city must be carried out consistently and involve all elements of society, including the younger generation.

He appreciated the high enthusiasm of the participants, especially the school children from various levels of education.

"It's amazing here, with almost 700 groups of schoolchildren involved, and many of them are creating tools to reduce emissions in their area," he explained.

He praised the high involvement of elementary, middle, and high school students in this activity. This reflects the younger generation's concern for air quality and their surrounding environment.

"The remarkable involvement of elementary, middle, and high school students is evident. This indicates that they care deeply about the air and their environment," he explained.
