"Humanity needs a global reset because the unjust, pre-pandemic world is not worth going back to. Return to normal would also mean a return to old social structures inspired by self-sufficiency, nationalism, protectionism, isolation, individualism, and excluding our poorest brothers and sisters. Is this a future we can choose?" 1 -  P. Francesco

Sampah menjadi salah satu permasalahan kompleks yang dihadapi oleh suatu daerah yang berada dekat pantai atau pesisir yang memiliki beberapa sungai yang bermuara ke laut. Sampah laut khususnya sampah jenis anorganik (undergradable) merupakan musuh utama yang semakin lama jumlahnya tidak berkurang dan cenderung diabaikan keberadaannya. Dampak yang ditimbulkan oleh sampah jenis ini dapat mengancam kelangsungan dan keberlanjutan hidup biota yang terdapat di perairan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui jumlah, jenis, massa, dan kepadatan sampah laut anorganik yang ada di perairan Pulau Lae-Lae Kota Makassar. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Mei-Juni 2019 di Pulau Lae-Lae. Metode pengambilan sampah dilakukan di tiga stasiun, di mana stasiun I berada pada bagian Utara, stasiun II berada pada bagian Barat dan stasiun III pada bagian Selatan Pulau Lae-Lae. Di dalam sebuah transek yang dibentangkan mengikuti garis pantai lalu dibagi menjadi 3 plot pada setiap stasiun dengan ukuran 50 m x 20 m. Kemudian mengumpulkan setiap jenis sampah yang terdapat pada plot. Berdasarkan penelitian yang dilaksanakan, menunjukkan bahwa sampah plastik lunak jenis sedotan yang paling banyak ditemukan di setiap stasiun penelitian. Massa total sampah yang didapatkan di Pulau Lae-Lae yaitu 65,64 kg/0,003 km 2 dan rata-rata kepadatan sampah di Pulau Lae-Lae menurut jumlah potongan sebesar 1,82 item/m 2 dan untuk rata-rata kepadatan menurut berat sebesar 21,87 g/m 2 .

O presente artigo analisou as circunstancias que levaram a cidade de Antofagasta, capital da Segunda Região no Chile, a uma situação crítica de saúde ambiental e conflito socioambiental. Se analisam as consequências
de como um má gestão dos resíduos sólidos urbanos (RSU) na cidade durante anos, derivou numa crise de saúde pública com presença e aumento de casos de cólera y norovirus. A partir dos fatos surgem movimentos sociais que procuram uma mudança estrutural da gestão do lixo, contrapondo os interesses do poder público. A pesquisa articulou a informação obtida de um levantamento bibliográfico de documentação cientifica, jornalística e a entrevista em profundidade de informante chave, que faz parte dos movimentos sociais aqui mencionados. A discussão pretende ser um aporte com uma visão diferente, a solução de um conflito que ainda esta em curso, dando tanto uma mirada crítica da situação como prática para as propostas, desde uma visão ecológica e social.

This case overview and presentation comes naturally in place to cover some rather rational questions as to what has been happening in a small town in central Greece, which hasn’t exactly been vocal about anything in the past, in such a fervent manner.

This study is divided in two main fields of interest and research, that being, firstly,  the waste combustion practices involved and secondly, the specific case of Volos’ waste management and incineration plants, and the media portrayal of the demonstrations that followed the announcement of waste combustion plan being brought in action.

Resumen Los resultados de este estudio dan a conocer una estimación de la generación de residuos sólidos urbanos en un salón de eventos sociales en la colonia San Bartolo Atepehuacan, Delegación Gustavo A. Madero, Ciudad de México, siguiendo las Normas Mexicanas NMX-AA-15-1985 con el método de Cuarteo, NMX-AA-22-1985 con la Selección y Cuantificación de Subproductos, así como NMX-AA-19-1985 para obtener el Peso volumétrico " in situ ". Los análisis estadísticos aleatorios demostraron la recolección y factible separación de subproductos valorizables como son el cartón (2.19 kg), periódico (2.55 kg), botellas de refresco " PET " (1.93 kg) y vidrio (4.85 kg) por un sólo evento social. Una estrategia dentro del plan de manejo es el diseño integral de un sistema vertical con tres contenedores para facilitar en gran medida la separación de estos residuos que pueden generar un ingreso a la economía con una proyección de casi 27 pesos. Finalmente, para la correcta gestión integral de residuos se proponen dos clínicas para talleres de inducción en este tipo de microempresas, con la prioridad de fortalecer aún más su compromiso normativo para la correcta separación y confinamiento temporal de los residuos orgánicos e inorgánicos con un valor agregado así como los no valorizables con y sin volumen.

The concept of going green has been gaining attention in the media and in marketing campaigns from a growing number of companies. This concept continues to become the conversation that businesses are discussing. However, it is important that we do not focus on politics and exploiting an idea that is honestly needed in our world. Going green means that society will have to consider renewable resources, cleaning up poor environmental practices, and taking a serious look at responsibility. We must consider creative responsibility.

Smart waste management in a city is significantly manifested by the optimal distribution of waste collection points (dustbins). Evidently, inadequate number of dustbins coupled with improper management may trigger pollution to a great extent. Waste collection using insufficient street dustbins is a widely used way of solid waste management in Dhaka city. Yet an uncomforting scenario of air pollution is prevailing in different wards of Dhaka. The reasons can be put forth as inadequate and unequal distribution of municipal dustbins, improper management including waste overflow and the lack of awareness in usage among the people. In this context, an attempt has been made in this paper to obtain a quantitative analysis between existing dustbins and their serving population. This study first analyses the spatial distribution of dustbins in some areas of Dhaka city employing average nearest neighbor functions of GIS. Interestingly, the spatial distribution of the existing dustbins has shown to be predominantly in clustered pattern. Next, an optimal number of additional dustbins were calculated. An additional number of 20 and 8 dustbins are required in areas (wards) # 34 and # 35 in Dhaka city. We also examined the extent of pollution caused by the existing dustbins using spatial analyst functions of GIS. It is found that all the dustbins are burst with wastes and causing pollution to the ground surface and air. The results thus obtained would help to understand the present scenario of the waste management of Dhaka city and to optimally place the required number of dustbins to prevent further pollution to environment.

Health and natural resources  are  blessing given by God to mankind. It is the duty of every man to always be grateful and keep the health and environmental sustainability. The problem, managing garbage or the difficult access of carying health for the poor, is a social problem that requires serious treatments.

The number of samples used a number of 53 respondents from 236 members of that Garbage Insurance. Collecting data is through observations, questionnaires, interviews, and literatures. Interpretation of the data was done by using descriptive analysis. Discussion of the research results was conducted by reviewing the research results critically with relevant theory and accurate information obtained in the field.
The results of this research indicated that the establishment of the background of this program was  to answer the social problems which are still not optimal garbage management efforts and the  lack of health service access for the poor. That program has contained  tabarru’ and ta'awun implementation in accordance with Islamic values, effort to help people who have difficulties to get health service, helping one another  between Indonesia Medika with members of the Garbage  Insurance running this program. Benefits earned by members of Garbage Clinical Insurance include benefits in health, economic, and environmental hygiene, the form of free health services, additional information on health, so  the environment becomes more clear. Garbage Clinical Insurance program  has not given a significant influence on the improvement of environmental health around the residence of its members, due to the lack of public awareness of clean and healthy lifestyle, lack of garbage collection intensity, and the absence of garbage collection services to the members.
