Overcome environmental issues

So far, human activities have caused a lot of environmental damage and pollution. Even ecologists predict that we will cause more and more irreparable environmental damage and pollution. Basically, there are three ways that humans can do to prevent and overcome pollution and to preserve the environment, namely administratively, technologically, and educationally.

Administrative countermeasures

Administrative control of environmental pollution is the government's task, namely by making regulations or laws.

Technologies

Tackling environmental pollution technologically, for example using equipment to process rubbish or waste. In Surabaya there is a final incineration place for waste with a very high temperature so that it does not emit smoke.
