Clean Up Jakarta
Jakarta is a megapolis with a population of more than 9.6 million in 2010. As reported by Clean Up Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital produces 6,700 tonnes of rubbish each day and much of it ends up on the street or in the city’s rivers. This happens due to the lack of awareness towards the dangers of waste in the river which further promotes bad littering habits amongst the Indonesian population. Knowing this, we understand the importance of raising awareness towards this problem and creating an effective solution. Clean Up Jakarta (CUJ) is an annual event held by Indonesian Expat. The event itself is held at sites which communities and volunteers nominate for CUJ Day. Student Council has been collaborating with Indonesian Expat since 2017 by participating in CUJ Day. 3.
