Jakarta \u2014 Deputy Mayor of Tangerang Selatan (South Tangerang) Pilar\nSaga Ichsan, together with Environment Minister Hanif Faisol Nurofiq and\nthe Buddhist Youth Generation (Gemabudhi), conducted an ecoenzyme\ndumping operation at the Jaletreng River in South Tangerang City on\nSunday, 8 March 2026.<\/p>\n
The action was carried out as part of a river environmental\nrestoration movement, following previous chemical waste pollution,\nwhilst also marking the 40th anniversary of the founding of Indonesia\u2019s\nBuddhist Youth Generation.<\/p>\n
Ecoenzyme is an organic liquid produced by fermenting fruit and\nvegetable waste mixed with sugar and water. This liquid is known to have\nvarious environmental benefits, including helping to improve river water\nquality.<\/p>\n
During the event, 10,000 litres of ecoenzyme were poured into the\nriver from above the Jaletreng River bridge.<\/p>\n
The volume of ecoenzyme poured in the action also successfully set a\nrecord with the Indonesian World Record Museum (MURI) as the largest\necoenzyme dumping operation.<\/p>\n
Environment Minister Hanif Faisol Nurofiq expressed appreciation for\nGemabudhi\u2019s initiative, which he regarded as not only celebrating the\norganisation\u2019s milestone but also leaving a tangible legacy for the\nenvironment.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must appreciate our Gemabudhi friends on their 40th anniversary.\nIt is not merely about the number of years, but there is a genuine\nenvironmental legacy being presented. Certainly, efforts to restore the\nJaletreng and Cisadane rivers can continue,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He explained that ecoenzyme can help enrich natural microorganisms in\nthe river, thereby increasing the ecosystem\u2019s capacity to improve water\nquality naturally.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe that the microorganisms in the Jaletreng and Cisadane\nrivers can be enriched with additional oxygen and other elements from\nthis ecoenzyme. Hopefully, this will further increase the capacity of\nthe river itself,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
According to him, an approach based on religious values is also\nhighly effective in building public awareness to protect the\nenvironment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis religious approach is extraordinarily effective. Imagine with\nall their other commitments, the women were able to produce 10,000\nlitres of ecoenzyme. So faith becomes important in protecting the\nenvironment,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
He also noted that efforts to protect the environment are\nincreasingly supported by various parties, including through religious\nedicts relating to prohibitions against indiscriminate littering.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Deputy Mayor of Tangerang Selatan, Pilar Saga Ichsan,\nexpressed appreciation for Gemabudhi\u2019s initiative, which contributes to\nenvironmental preservation in the South Tangerang region.<\/p>\n
According to Pilar, collaboration between government, community, and\nreligious organisations is a crucial key to maintaining environmental\nsustainability.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe South Tangerang City Government greatly appreciates Gemabudhi\u2019s\ninitiative alongside the Environment Ministry and Religion Ministry in\ntaking concrete action to protect the environment. This movement\ndemonstrates that concern for rivers can become a shared movement across\ncommunities and religions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He stressed that river restoration efforts cannot be undertaken by\ngovernment alone, but require active participation from the\ncommunity.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an example that protecting rivers is a shared\nresponsibility. We hope that movements like this can continue and\ninspire other communities to help maintain cleanliness and environmental\npreservation in South Tangerang City,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/pilar-accompanies-environment-minister-and-gemabudhi-break-muri-record-pour-10-000-litres-of-ecoenzyme-into-1773068471", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
