Celebrating ‘Clean Up the World’
All Tourist Objects Are Cleansed

Celebrating the ‘Clean up the World’ day, thousands of community and government officers in Karangasem Regency, Friday (15/9) shared the hard work. They amassed the rubbish, particularly plastic rubbish throughout the tourist objects in Karangasem.
Over thousands of Karangasem dwellers consisting of civil servants, customary villagers, employees of tourism sector and students simultaneously did clean up services at the Besakih Temple complex and its surroundings. A corresponding activity was also performed by the dwellers of Sidemen, Manggis in Candidasa, while that of Kubu did it at Tulamben and some of Abang dwellers brought it about at Tirtagangga, Amed and Jemeluk.
Head of the Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (IHRA) of Karangasem Chapter, Ir. Wayang Tama reported that the activity was carried out due to the input from the general public around the hotels. This clean up action was executed to preserve the environment, chiefly the territory of Karangasem that currently is known to remain pristine and peaceful. Similarly, the activity was also associated with training of the processing of organic rubbish into utilizable articles like recycled paper.
Likewise, the Regent of Karangasem Wayan Gredeg and his Vice Gusti Lanang Rai took part in this clean up activity. They expected the community to create healthy life style and disposing of rubbish properly as a habit, not in the water irrigation, gutter or river. (BTN/budana/*)
