Introduction
Now a days, there are lots of waste. As citizen we should be a shame. We should be keeping our country as it will give bad without doing so. There are lot of ways to keep our country clean, one of it is voleentering work. Doing this activity is a good thing to do as it could influence others.
Voleentering work are activities that are done by society as it could deepen the relationship with others and give awareness to others. In art, there are similar artwork with volentering work which called ecological art which artist needs the help of society in making using waste as materials.
How do you describe the eco art?
Eco art are created by artists who are concerned with the state of both local and global environmental situations. Eco-artists are concerned about the environment. As such, they often create art that improves an area environmentally and/or that highlights a specific environmental issue. It must also be noted that eco-art addresses aesthetics, ethics, politics, culture, and economics, and the impact these have on the world’s ecosystems. To remediate and reclaim damaged natural environments, often restoring ecosystems in artistic ways. Eco-art can help bring communities together through their shared respect and love for their environment. Neglected and abandoned spaces can be given new life and purpose. Eco-art serves to highlight environmental issues within communities, and while it doesn’t necessarily make a huge immediate change to the earth, it can make a difference in terms of our thinking and our actions.
Why is it important to reduce, reuse, recycle and refuse?
The 4R are action taken in pursued of conserving the environment. All of the 4R has a purpose in preventing waste.
- Reduce
- Waste reduction is the preferred approach to waste management because waste that never gets created doesn't have any associated waste management costs. Waste reduction also helps conserve resources for future generations and contributes to a cleaner environment.
- Reuse
- Reuse is not recycling, because recycling alters the physical form of an object or material. Reuse is generally preferred to recycling because reuse generally consumes less energy and resources than recycling. Waste is defined as material for which no use or reuse is intended. Thus, reuse prevents objects and materials from becoming waste.
- Recycle
- Recycling is not waste prevention because only waste can be recycled. One must generate waste in order to recycle the waste. Therefore, if you are recycling, you have already generated waste. Although recycling is a very good thing, ideally it would be better to not generate any waste.
- Refuse
- Instead of action, refuse is a way of thinking. Refusing to waste is a step on prevention further waste. Instead of action, mental set is also a factor of prevention.
Have you ever experience involve in this kind of activity?
After experiencing multiple activity of this kind, I conclude that this kind of activity has good impact to the society as it effects the way of thinking and it could also improve the morale of others. There are difference between working one self and working with other. The urge to compete with others. Even though it is not a competitive activity, watching others work hard would give a morale boost to do the same. That what makes this activity fun.
Do you feel the project was successful? If yes, why? If no, why not?
Yes, because get to know new people, everyone cooperate with each other and had a good time. Even though the scale of the activity was small, even a small step could affect others.
What do you each find most interesting/ satisfying about working as part of this program?
The most satisfying about working as part of this program is watching everyone enjoying their self. Working while having a smile on their face made me realize the importance of cooperating and connection.
What you do differently in the future?
Would do a bigger scale of this kind of activity in hope others would try it out and enjoy their self as I would. You will never know what you miss. This kind of activity give lots of benefits to not only us and others but the environment too.
