Subsidi Transportasi Publik

Sepuluh tahun yang lalu, saya menikmati subsidi tarif khusus angkutan/transportasi publik untuk mahasiswa, di negeri orang..

Selasa lalu, saya bersyukur boleh menikmati subsidi transportasi publik untuk mahasiswa itu, di negeri sendiri..!

Kota Semarang Hebat, dan ke depannya akan benar-benar #SemakinHebat ketika komitmen Pemkot yg begitu luar biasa ini disambut baik oleh warganya (masyarakat sipil, swasta, dan personil pemerintahnya sendiri): Ayo lanjutkan naik (bagi yg sudah), dan ayo ikutan naik Angkutan Publik (bagi yg belum)..!!!

Tarifnya terjangkau:

a. Tunai Rp 4.000

b. Non-tunai Rp 3.500

c. Tarif khusus Rp 1.000 berlaku untuk kelompok pelajar, MAHASISWA, veteran, lansia, dan orang berkebutuhan khusus

Dan syarat untuk mendapatkan tarif khusus ini, nggak pakai ribet dong: kelompok di atas cukup membayar sambil menunjukkan kartu identitasnya

Memang sih transportasi publik di Kota Semarang ini (@transsemarang, @brttransjateng) masih buanyakk kurangnya. Kita terus suarakan saja yg mjd saran/ masukan kita. Contoh baik salah duanya telah dilakukan oleh teman2 dari #KPTS dan @transportforsmg. Izinkan saya untuk spill ya: Angkutan publik di kabupaten/kota sebelah lebih parah lagi kondisinya, jadi kita Warga Semarang sebenarnya boleh untuk sedikit berbangga (tapi harus ikut mendukung perkembangan angkutan publik kotanya ya.. :D)

Untuk mewujudkan #JalanRayaMilikKitaBersama (jalan raya yg berkurang kemacetan, tingkat kecelakaan, dan emisi CO2nya), kita anak2 muda perlu bergerak dan berjuang bersama, biar Kota Semarang suatu hari nanti juga nggak kalah dari Jakarta dan kota2 besar lainnya di dunia

A Sharing Knowledge from #BeatPlasticPollution (Hari Lingkungan Hidup Sedunia 2023)

 Happy World Environment Day!

Coincidentally, the Closing of CAP-SEA Project (March 2023) and the recent World Environment Day Celebration of UNEP shared the similar tagline #BeatPlasticPollution

It encourages me to share the knowledge from The Design for Recycling (D4R) Study for Plastic Packaging from the CAP-SEA Project. One of the waste management challenges in the downstream is the segregation effort of PET plastic bottles into three components before recycling: the closure, label, and the body, since they are made from diverse plastic materials. Perhaps, they were not designed by the brand owners/ converters for the ease of recycling.

The D4R Study in Indonesia have proposed several criteria for PET mineral water bottles, in which the label should be <25% coverage and easy to remove (for reference: https://lnkd.in/gub_tA6q).

The figure above indicates three bottles' designs for current available products in the market (June 2023). Regarding the D4R label criterion, the design of the third bottle seems to be fully compatible for recycling. A waste collector only needs to remove the cap from the bottle's body, and so does the recycling will be more efficient than before. The third bottle is also made from the recycled PET (rPET), declaring that the closed-loop circular economy of plastic material is really possible.

For the better plastic circularity in Indonesia, the remaining tasks lay to us as consumers:

1) Do we support the implementation of a mandatory D4R criteria for all products distributed in Indonesia? The waste problem in the temporary- and final disposal site in our city really matters. Together we can urge the importance of the recycling of our daily waste.

2) How strong is our commitment and our willingness-to-pay for a better waste management in Indonesia? Even if the mandatory D4R criteria is applied, the segregation from source (Pilah Sampah) and the "reverse logistic" needs to be well-financed (Iuran Sampah/ Retribusi), especially for the plastic packaging located in sub-urban/ rural areas or outside the Java Island (where plastic recycling factories usually do not exist).

As consumers, or as the part of civil society, we always have the right and opportunity to choose, for establishing a better world.
