A Day in TEMESI Village: Bricks from Plastic Bags (part 5)

Hey Greensters!! 

Patricia here :

Today, I’m going to talk to you about making bricks out of old plastic bags. As we all know, plastics are one of the hardest things to decompose. It takes around 20 – 1000 years for it to decompose. It is very hard, but not impossible.

Patricia here. :)

Today, I want to talk to you about Solar Water Disinfection (one of the things us 'The Green Team Indonesia' members learned in Temesi). This method can be used as an emergency when you have no fuel when you need to boil water or when you’re going camping. I find this very interesting because we’re using natural energy from the sun. Our natural environment has provided us with everything we need to survive in this great, big world. It’s up to us to benefit them all for our lives.

A Day in TEMESI VILLAGE: the Interview (part 3)

Dear Greensters,

An interview between Chloe from the Green Team Indonesia and one of the workers there in Temesi Village's waste separation. His name is Cholis from Probolinggo (East Java, Indonesia). He is 25 years old and has been working there since two months ago. Cholis said that he found many things in the trashes, like jewelries (gold or silver), dollars and even cellphones. He finds money almost everyday, usually small money. He saves it in his piggy bank.
