Aeshnina Azzahra Aqilani
Did you know that waste in Indonesia has become a serious issue? Of all countries globally, Indonesia is the third-largest producer of plastic waste every day.
Seeing this sad condition, many people care about the environment and are passionate about ighting this problem to get the world’s attention. One of the so-called river warriors is Aeshnina Azzahra Aqilani, or Nina.
This little hero from Gresik is active in dealing with polluting waste in the river. Still, she has also made Germany aware to stop throwing garbage in our country. She was even invited to the Netherlands to see irsthand how Europeans process their waste.
First, Nina was interested in the environmental world when she was little. Nina’s parents are also ecological activists and researchers, so Nina always accompanied them to rivers, beaches, and forests.
The fun thing is that Nina also participated in a demonstration in kindergarten. So Nina’s daily habits are very connected with the environment. Moms and Dads also always teach Nina to reduce singleuse plastic as much as possible and tell her how important the river is.
Developed countries such as Germany and the United States often send garbage to our country. Nina sent a letter to the German Chancellor with the intention that they stop smuggling plastic waste here.
The response was incredible! Nina managed to meet the ambassador in Jakarta, and they promised to tighten supervision at the port. Now plastic waste from Germany has also decreased rapidly.
