Analisis Penerapan 3r (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) Pada Masyarakat Di Sepanjang Aliran Siring Kelurahan Pondok Besi Kota Bengkulu
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers surveyed community waste management practices along drainage channels in Pondok Besi, Bengkulu City, Indonesia, assessing adoption of reduce, reuse, and recycle behaviors. The study found that dumping waste into drainage channels contributes to plastic and microplastic pollution on nearby Tapak Paderi beach.
The society around Pondok Besi sewage was believed to have contributed for mass of waste in Tapak Paderi beach, Bengkulu City. The bad habit of those people that usually dump their waste into the sewage, and disembogue to Tapak Paderi beach, needs to be resolved. Besides interfering the allure of Tapak Paderi beach, the plastic part of this waste will unravel into micro- and nanoplastic in the ocean. This research aims to analyze the application of 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle) on the society around Pondok Besi sewage. Data collection was conducted by interviewing using a designed questionnaire. The research discovered that application of 3R in the people around Pondok Besi sewage is very low. 55% of the respondents didn’t bring their reusable bag for shopping, 88% will still buy their wanted product though it results a massive waste. 75% of them also didn’t reuse their empty bottles/containers and neither recycle their inorganic waste, and none of the respondents recycle their organic waste. Moreover, 85% of the respondents can’t provide an example of activity as application of 3R. Based on these results, a further action to improve the awareness of people around Pondok Besi sewage in applying 3R is required.

Practice of Ecological Citizenship in Community Riverbanks in Waste Management Based on the 3r Principles in Kampung Biru, Banjarmasin City
AI summary Read the abstract
A study of a riverside community in Banjarmasin, Indonesia found that despite residents' good intentions, most household waste still ends up polluting the river because proper recycling systems (like sorted trash bins and collection programs) simply aren't available. This matters for your health because polluted waterways—especially those loaded with plastic waste—can contaminate drinking water sources and food supplies, and plastic that breaks down in rivers can enter the food chain as microplastics. The takeaway: even well-meaning communities need real infrastructure and support (not just awareness) to keep waste out of water systems that people depend on.
