Atim Susanto, Raising Awareness on Waste Management

KOMPAS/JUMARTO YULIANUS

Atim Susanto (41)

Atim Susanto, 41, tirelessly raises community awareness on waste management and maintaining a clean environment. Atim has invited local residents to sort waste through a waste bank, starting with household waste, innovating to reduce plastic waste and increase its resale value.

From the corner of Moro Seneng alley in Pekauman village of Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, Atim transmits his spirit of environmental protection. The villagers have been told not to litter, because their garbage can be a blessing. As a result, the small alley is clean and pretty.
