I'm a person who always bothered by environmental problem, especially waste management problem. I do think we already have all the ingredients to solve it, but we need more connected, collaborate, and do real actions to make it happen. I also believe we could live a comfortable life without harming the environment. We don't need to go back to the stone age, that's why we have environmental engineers. To implement a responsible waste management service, I'm willing to collaborate with anyone who shared same vision. I co-found a social enterprise on responsible waste management service www.waste4change.com.

zero waste living, education, equality, internet of things, technology, etc.

If all Indonesian finished their meal until no leftovers remained, we already solved 50% of Indonesia's waste problem. If we do that years ago, more than 100 people who lived around Leuwigajah landfill near Bandung (Jawa Barat) should still alive today. Yeah, in Indonesia and many other country who still have irresponsible waste management, waste could kill. Literally.

Environment, Waste Management

I knew TED since 2008. There are so many talks that inspire me. If I have to mention some of my favorite TED speaker then here it is: Sir Ken Robinson, Hans Rosling, Simon Sinek, Tim Ferris. My first TEDx experience was TEDx Bandung and I love every part of it. All TEDx speaker are very passionate and engaging. Surely lots of ideas exchange and projects implemented because of TED and TEDx events.
