HumasUPNVJ - Earth Day is an annual activity which is celebrated on April 22 every year. People all over the world celebrate this earth day by doing activities that are environmentally friendly.

Likewise with UPNVJ students who are members of the GIRIGAHANA Student Activity Unit and the University Student Executive Board, who collaborated in carrying out Earth Day activities ( Environmental UPN "Veteran" Jakarta). The peak series of activities on April 22 began with Fun Walking and Garbage Clean Action around the UPNVJ campus to around the Pondok Calabash market. After that, the activity continued with the making of ecobricks from the results of the clean-up action. Apart from fun walking activities and making ecobricks , this Earth Day activity was also enlivened by an eco-friendly bazaar , talk show , environmental action video screening and workshop (Bamboo Nusantara Academy) + door prizes and other entertainment activities.

The UPNVJ Public Relations team had the opportunity to conduct an interview with Nahdyatul Nur Awalia, a BEM member in the social field, in the interview she explained the purpose of one of this year's Earth Day activities, namely Fun Walking . This fun walk is carried out while picking up trash on the roads around the campus, so that the environment is clean and free from plastic waste, and also to make people aware that not only students or ordinary pedestrians are aware of the importance of environmental cleanliness for our Earth. . Especially in Indonesia's current condition which is very densely populated, for example one person uses plastic and throws it carelessly, meaning how much plastic waste has accumulated in our environment.

In addition, Nahdyatul hopes that with the Ecobrick making activity, UPNVJ students will know how to deal with the plastic waste they use. May our Earth be more protected and more awake.

"What happens to Earth in the future depends on what we do today, Happy Earth Day."
