Popular Environmental Campaign in Indonesia

by Dewi Retno S | 21-09-2016 11:45 recommendations 0

Campaign is one tool to disseminate information and raise awareness and change the behavior of the audience. Environmental campaign in Indonesia carried out by many organizations and even students. Generally, environmental campaign conducted during the celebration of the environment day such as ozone day, earth day, etc.


One of popular campaigns is Earth Hour, with WWF as the initiator. Earth Hour took place in March every year, by turning off lights and electronic appliance for 1 hour. This year, Earth Hour 2016 was held on March 19, 2016 at 20:30 until 21:20 (local time). The center of the Earth Hour 2016 is in Borobudur and Prambanan Temple, as a supporter of this campaign.


Earth Hour in Indonesia is focusing on Java and Bali, as 78% of Indonesia's electricity consumption is in this islands. Earth Hour campaign itself has been followed by more than 1 million people in Indonesia. Earth Hour is expected there was energy efficiency and changes in lifestyle in big cities that consume high power from this campaign.

Another popular environmental campaign in Indonesia is plastic bags diet. The campaign is also supported by the government's policy on paid plastic (you can read it in my previous report here).


Diet campaign on plastic bags started in various regions in Indonesia by local institutions. In early 2013 the institutions campaigners' plastic bag issue initiates a national movement, Gerakan Indonesia Diet Kantong Plastik (The Movement of Indonesia Diet Plastic Bags). The purposes of this collaboration are to increase the participation of Indonesian civil society and unite the impact of the campaign.

    Thanks for sharing, Dewi! As Heonjun have said, I learned a lot about earth-hour event from other ambassador's splendid reports. About the diet campaign on plastic bags, I sincerely hope success. There's certainly the need to reduce the use of plastic bags. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!
