In Indonesia Used Cooking Oil is usually called as Minyak Jelantah. As time goes by, we found some related problems. there are Amount of Used Cooking Oil and Water and Soil Pollution. As we've known, waste in Indonesia is (still) not yet managed well. Based on questionnaire we made to 107 respondents, each family produces 1 liter of Used Cooking Oil every week and 66,1% dump it into trash can or conduit. In our city, there are 300,063 families, which is totaled with the average of oil consumption become 1.08 tons every month. It needs high cost to restore the polluted environment caused by Used Cooking Oil. Based on The Guardians, to restore the polluted environment, the government needs 600,000 US dollar or equivalent to 7,2 billion rupiahs. If 1,08 tons of Used Cooking oil pollute in our city, then the government needs 720 million rupiahs every month. Therefore, we try to decrease pollution with reuse the Used Cooking Oil and recycle it into soap. By self-making soap, we can make the environment better, reduce government spending for restoring the environment and save money to buy soap. From this project, we try to engage people to start making their own soap, from their Used Cooking Oil. Hopefully, if every family apply it at home, so by the time it will decrease pollution and make a better living for years.

There is still lack of awareness to reusing or recycling single use plastic. Which means most of the plastics are end up in the landfill or the worse, it clogged up rivers and ocean.The biggest impact is come to local communities itself where they lost their source for food and clean water. Our city, Bogor produce 650 tons waste per day, and 1.7 tons of it are plastic bag from modern market. To reduce it, on December 2018, the Mayor of Bogor City issued a regulation that all modern markets are banned for using plastic bag. This regulation force people to use reusable bag. The new problem now is raising awareness about why people should reducing plastic and recycle their plastic waste instead of buying new reusable bag. We have two range of target, the first are kids age 3-9 years old as we aim to change character and mindset. We make and storytell an illustrated story book about the danger of plastic waste as an effective media to deliver our message. At least 130.000 kids in this age are living in Bogor. Hopefully, these kids will share what they learn from the story to their parents, family, friends, and everyone around them. Thus, spreading the message wider. For older people, we share the way to turn used plastic bag into a reusable bag. However it helps to reduce plastic waste that already appeared around us.
