Manage Our School's Waste

     Hi guys ! I'm glad to see you again in my post. 
By the way this's my last post. Because soon this semester will end. 
In this last post i want to talk about "How to Manage Our School's Waste".

    We often read in my places this slogan "Clean is healthy and beautiful". We can find this slogan in many school.The slogan is actually an invitation to everyone to keep the environment clean and healthy.The slogan is very wise. But often a meaningless slogan. The slogan was just a decoration. Because in the fact, the garbage still strewn and disposed carelessly. It's the same at school.
Because of that, we as nation's youth have to make reforms to achieve zero waste country, with initial steps ranging from school. 

Now, let's discuss about waste...
