Let's save the earth with us!
I Love My Body I Love My Environment – Fun Education on Hygiene and Environment for Elementary Schools I Love My Body I Love My Environment is a project initiated by young people in Kupang and Dili who are concern about the environment, especially the ocean around Indonesia and Timor Leste. Kupang and Dili produce 200 tons of trash each day, that means 400 tons of trash per day only from these two cities. Whales and other marine creatures died after consuming plastic waste that scattered around ocean in Indonesia and Timor Leste. We choose to start this project because we want to take action against the environmental issues and because our project can involve professionals, youth and children at the same time. We’re also concern about personal hygiene of children in both cities. Our goal is the behavioral change towards the environmental issue and better personal hygiene among people in Kupang and Dili. Where We Are Now We have united many youth communities in Kupang and Dili to address the same issue and did some environmental actions in both cities. Although we need to adjust our project to fit the different language, culture, reading readiness and local policies in both cities, we learn that youth in Kupang and Dili have same interest about caring the environment. Our first success story is that we were able to give direct impact to the environment in two different areas across countries through clean-up action. The second one is that we were able to unite youth communities from two countries to raise awareness towards environmental issue as well as personal hygiene and getting them ready for fun environmental and personal hygiene education in elementary schools.
