Reported by Frita Fali Afnal Avid and Tiara Setiawati Bili, grantees Wira Wacana Christian University (Sumba)
Tuesday, 6 June 2023, Wira Wacana Christian University (UNWINA) grantees, Sumba conducted a clean-up around the Waingapu Old Pier. This activity is carried out because there is a lot of environmental pollution in the form of plastic waste which can contaminate soil and water. Grantees brought brooms and dustbins to accommodate.
Followed by 16 grantees, the cleaning started from the ditches and also the roadside where there was a lot of trash. Lack of awareness from the community is one of the reasons waste is still there and out of place. In fact, some even throw garbage into the sea and the beach. With this activity, it is hoped that the community around the Waingapu Old Pier can care about the environment and waste.
