Real talk: Gue mulai peduli carbon footprint setelah baca-baca gimana Jakarta makin panas tiap tahun ๐๐ฐ
Ini bukan post preachy ya, tapi sharing aja simple changes yang gue lakuin (dan surprisingly gak sesusah yang gue kira!)
**SIMPLE SWAPS YANG GUE UDAH LAKUIN:**
โป๏ธ **PLASTIK โ REUSABLE**
- Tumblr stainless (50k) instead of botol plastik
- Tote bag (free dari event/beli 30k) instead of kresek
- Sedotan stainless (20k) or just drink without sedotan
- Food container (Tupperware 100k) instead of takeaway boxes
Saved: ยฑ50 plastic items per week!
๐ **TRANSPORT:**
- Grab/Gojek โ bike sharing (jaklingko bikeshare 5k/hour)
- Car โ TransJakarta when possible (free now!)
- Walkable distance? Ya udah jalan aja (exercise bonus!)
Saved: ยฑ30% fuel cost & emissions
๐ฅ **FOOD:**
- Reduce meat consumption (2-3x seminggu aja)
- Buy local produce (pasar tradisional > supermarket)
- Meal prep (less food waste!)
- Compost sisa sayuran (buat tanaman di balkon)
Impact: Less food waste, healthier eating
๐๏ธ **SHOPPING:**
- Buy only what I need (no more impulse buying!)
- Thrift/second hand first before buying new
- Support local brands (less shipping = less emission)
- Repair instead of replace (sepatu, elektronik, dll)
**APPS YANG BANTU:**
๐ฑ **JakLingko** - Public transport integration
๐ฑ **Too Good To Go** - Rescue food surplus dari resto
๐ฑ **Refill MyBottle** - Find free water refill stations
๐ฑ **Bibit/Ajaib** - Invest di ESG funds
**LOCAL INITIATIVES GUE JOIN:**

โป๏ธ **Zero Waste Indonesia Community**
Tips, events, like-minded people
FB Group: Zero Waste Indonesia
**HONEST RESULTS (After 6 months):**
๐ฐ Cost: Save 500k/month (no joke!)
- Less grab rides
- Less impulse shopping
- Reduced electricity (mindful usage)
๐ Impact:
- Waste reduced by 60%
- Carbon footprint down significantly
- Feel better about myself lol
**TIPS UNTUK YANG MAU MULAI:**
โ
Start dengan 1-2 habits aja dulu
โ
Don't aim for perfection (progress > perfection!)
โ
Find community (support system penting!)
โ
Track your progress (motivating!)
โ
Share ke temen (influence others!)
**DEBUNKING MYTHS:**
โ "Eco-friendly = mahal" โ Banyak yang SAVE money!
โ "Ribet" โ Jadi habit after 21 days
โ "Individual gak ngaruh" โ Collective impact is REAL
โ "Indonesia belum ready" โ Many initiatives exist!
Look, gue bukan perfect. Masih pake AC, masih grab kadang, masih beli barang baru. Tapi small steps matter!
Jakarta udah panas banget, banjir makin sering, polusi parah. We can't wait for government aja - kita bisa mulai dari diri sendiri.
Who's with me? Share tips kalian dong!
