The trash pile in the cafeteria of SMK Negeri 4 Semarang

     


    Waste is defined as items that are no longer suitable for use. In Indonesia, waste management remains a problem that has not been effectively addressed. Indonesia has even been named the third-largest contributor of waste in the world. One significant source of waste in Indonesia comes from schools.

    The majority of schools in Indonesia have yet to embrace environmentally friendly practices, leading to a proliferation of plastic waste on school premises. This waste accumulates, worsening the school environment, especially in areas like the school cafeteria. The cafeteria, intended for food sales, often becomes cluttered with waste.

    Take, for instance, SMK Negeri 4 Semarang's cafeteria. While numerous trash bins are provided around the area, they are not managed effectively. Both plastic and organic waste pile up in the same bins, creating an unpleasant sight. Cafeterias should ideally be clean and hygienic spaces.

    Moreover, the odor emanating from these waste piles can greatly disturb students in the cafeteria area. This unpleasant smell can also attract flies and other insects, contaminating the food being sold. Furthermore, these insects can cause digestive problems and even poisoning.

    Therefore, we must prioritize environmental health. We need to cultivate awareness about proper waste disposal and consistently separate waste by type. This is crucial for collective comfort and environmental well-being.
