The Important Social Problems

In my small town, Purworejo has a problem like other district. The most important social problem are waste, poverty, and street vendor. Generally, it caused by standard or quality of human resources are low. And they are less able to take advantage of opportunities. Those problems are interconnected.
Most of rural communities work in rice field. Commonly their education only finish until elementary school or junior high school. As we know, global warming make extreem weather. So, they can’t make prediction when they must start to cultivate their rice field. Because they need rainy season. Because of that, they are involved in detriment and try to look for another activity to care of their family. For example, they try to be a street vendor.
Street vendors were existing also have low awareness in sanitary beside they abuse should function as a place sidewalks for pedestrian. They just throw their waste any place. They didn’t think that waste also can give us profit. If street vendors have awareness to separated organic and anorganic waste then they can recycling it, they will get more profit. Commonly we called it waste recycling.
Waste problem can be solved by waste recycling. Especialy plasctic garbages which have potential as a raw material and it can be changed to other usefull things. Waste recycling can involve many people. It can help unemployment to get job and decrease the poverty. Unfortunately, absence of government policy to involve the public as consumers to participate in the waste recycling. Disposal of mixed waste, such as prevailing in Indonesia at this time may damage and reduce the value of the material that may still be used again. Change is necessary and is good change begins from ourselves because waste recycling cannot be separated from society’s lifestyle. Imagine if we all did this, certainly will cause a big impact. Therefore invite relatives and friends near you to actively participate in environmental protection.
