Improving Environmental Literacy of Dasawisma Groups through Domestic Waste Management Education
Abstract
The Dasawisma Mawar Group in Balung Lor Village, Balung District, Jember Regency consists of non-productive mothers. The problems faced by partners include (i) activities in Dasawiswa Mawar are only in the form of social gatherings, never filled with activities that increase member empowerment, (ii) Waste processing has not been carried out at the household scale. Domestic waste processing by residents is still carried out by collecting temporary waste to be collected by cleaning staff, but most still have the habit of throwing waste into the river and burning waste. This community service activity aims to improve partners' environmental literacy, including increasing environmental insight, providing training to improve partners' skills, and initiating the habit of independent waste management at the household level as a form of environmental responsibility. The methods used include (i) a preparatory stage consisting of coordination with partners and observation of the partner's environment, (ii) an implementation stage consisting of providing waste materials and domestic waste processing practices, and (iii) monitoring and evaluation to determine the achievement of the activity. The activity was carried out from August to October 2022. Participants were 35 members of Dasawisma Mawar. The domestic waste processing practices carried out include processing onion skin waste into fertilizer, used cooking oil waste into aromatherapy candles and soap, mask waste into succulent flower pots, used plastic into planter bags. The results of descriptive analysis of the collected questionnaires show that all participants felt the benefits of this activity, knew the implementation of 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle) and received training on domestic waste processing. This activity is expected to be an initiation of independent waste management habits at the household scale so that it contributes to reducing waste generation in the environment.
