Hello everyone! We are student from Highscope Bintaro, so we gonna explain you guys some problem that we need to stop, So for your own future we have to protect our own environment, it is so simple, all you have to do is just don't litter, as simple as that.so we gonna explain about it.

About trash pollution is a case where people litter the trash anywhere and it gives the negative effects of the environment being dirty. For example there is a surrounding everywhere or when they’re together it becomes a big piled mountain of trash. So like these examples we’re gonna explain to you the problem and its solution with its cause and the huge effect of trash pollution’s case.

The problem is There’s a lot of trash pollution causing a flood, imbalance in food chain and overpopulation of rats, Many people littering and causing a flood, for example, there many residences, houses, buildings, bridges and many others that get damaged by the flood. also there are almost a hundred thousand victims that died because of the flood, and the people have to take refuge for a long time. According to compas.com, this is the constitution of littering

“Warga yang terbukti membuang sampah sembarang di Jakarta bisa dikenakan sanksi denda paling banyak Rp 20 juta atau pidana maksimal dua bulan penjara.Perda Nomor 3 Tahun 2013 tentang Pengelolaan Sampah. Kedua, Perda Nomor 8 Tahun 2007 tentang Ketertiban Umum (Tibum).”

So if there is a cause, there also an effect, so this is the cause and effect. Cause : People throwing away the trash in the road, the ocean and other places that the trash can wasn’t around,The people are being lazy to throw the trash in the right place,They cannot find trash and just purposely throw it anywhere, the effect is, effect : When a trash is all together in one place instead of the trash can, it will be piled up like around the road or ocean,In the ocean, sea animals might eat the plastics and swallow them. If they were cooked and ate by the person who eats it, the person will swallow the fish with the plastic,If it was in the sewer or the water, it will have a flood to the top of the road because of the surrounded trash in the water,When the trash in is the forest, it will messy with the dirtiness around the the forest.

Here is the data from 2017 until 2020, in 2017 at DKI Jakarta, there a flood and caused 638 people to take refuge, in 2018 at  West Sumatera, there a big flood and around 1,400 houses have been flooded in the districts of Pauh, Lubuk Kilangan, Lubuk Begalung, and Koto Tangah. Three residences have been completely demolished, as have two bridges that have been seriously damaged or destroyed. Two people have died and around 50 families get affected. In 2019 there were 2 flood in DKI Jakarta, the first one cause Two villages in Tegal City were inundated along the north coast of the Java Sea, causing damage to 187 buildings and affecting 1,335 people. Flooding has also been reported in Pekalongan City, affecting at least 100 people. The second flood is at the new year celebration, Over 1870 people have been affected, at least 20 have been displaced, and at least 245 dwellings have been damaged. Luwu and Sidenreng Rappang were among the places affected.In the new year, 2020-01-01, at midnight. There is a big flood in Jakarta, and people can't celebrate new year outside.Water levels in various places of the city reached 30 to 200 cm. Water levels reached four meters in certain areas, including Cipinang Melayu in East Jakarta. [10] Over 397,000 people had been relocated to higher ground. [3] Schools and government buildings had been designated as temporary shelters by the government. Evacuation operations were impeded in numerous regions by rushing waters and electricity. 

Overall its mean that if you kept littering, all human being get damaged, not only the human being, that get damaged, the non human being is also get damaged, even though there someone that will take the trash, but its still causing the flood, so from now on. Stop littering to get a “better future”
