SAFARI

STOP WASTING FOOD FOR LONGER EARTH LIFE

Food waste has become one of the major environmental problems. In Indonesia, food waste contributes the most number of waste compared to any other types of waste. Based on the data from Sistem Pengolahan Sampah Nasional (SIPSN) Ministry of Environment and Forestry of The Republic of Indonesia, in Java alone, 46.75% of waste comes from food.

To commemorate World Environment Day, SCORP CIMSA UI created an event called SAFARI: Stop Wasting Food for Longer Earth Life. The purpose of this event is to raise public awareness and give them understanding about food waste and its effect on climate change in order to solve environmental problems.

SAFARI is a webinar via Zoom and Youtube held by SCORP CIMSA UI targeting the public audience. It brought up the issue about food waste and was held on Saturday, October 17th 2020. The guest speakers at this event were Rahmawati from Dinas Lingkungan Hidup Provinsi DKI Jakarta and Saka Dwi Hanggara from Waste4Change. The event went well despite being held online and the participants were very enthusiastic, proven by the number of questions asked by the participants throughout the webinar.

In this event, we evaluate the impact of this event through a test conducted before and after the webinar. From the satisfaction questionnaire, we know that 69.1% participants become more interested in environmental issues. In this questionnaire, they also stated their plans about how to spread awareness about food waste to the public. Overall, we hope that this event could give much more impact to solve environmental problems.
