TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan has officially launched the waste-bank movement for school students in in a bid to spark awareness towards the environment.
“This movement needs getting used to, which is why the program aims at school students,” said the Jakarta Governor at the City Hall on Monday, October 14.
Anies explained the Jakarta administration would introduce incentives for every piece of trash the students deposit into the city-wide program. Some 160 thousand students from West and North Jakarta have already been involved in this pilot project.
