I live in a comfortable and perfect neighborhood. The street is very quiet. Some people like lots of noise and crowds, but I'm little bit different. I like my quiet street. My house is between a big park and an apartment building. On the weekend, I sometimes buy a female magazine from the newsstand and sit in the green park to read it. There is a big supermarket around 2 blocks from my house. Next to the supermarket there is a mini basketball court. Across the street there is a bakery, and next to the bakery is a video store where I can rent videos. 

Where is the location of mini basketball?

What is a ‘waste bank’?  Waste banks – or “bank sampah” as they are called in Indonesian – can be found in neighborhoods across Indonesia – on Sulawesi, Kalimantan, Java.   At waste banks, the waste created by the household is divided into two categories – organic and non-organic. Organic waste gets turned into compost, while non-organic waste is divided further into three categories: plastic, paper, plus bottles and metal.

The vast majority of eco-friendly households in Indonesia keep three bins or three large garbage bags in their homes; over time they began separating their waste into three different sections. Once their three bins and garbage bags are filled up, they bring their haul to a neighborhood waste bank where they then “make a deposit”.

Like a regular commercial bank, you open up an account with your local waste bank. Periodically, you make deposits with your non-organic solid waste, which are weighed and given a monetary value, based on rates set by waste collectors. This value is saved in your account from which, like a regular bank, you can withdraw. The basic principles of waste banks remain the same across provinces: collect, save, earn, change behavior, and enjoy a clean neighborhood.

There are many reasons why people become vegetarians, including personal health, the environment, and the economy.

A vegetarian is a person who does not eat meat, poultry, and fish. Vegetarians mostly eat fruit, vegetables, legumes, grains, seeds, and nuts. Vegetarians also consume eggs and dairy products, but they avoid meat products, such as beef, chicken stocks, and gelatin.
