Plastic bags, cans fished out Cisadane

BOGOR: Green volunteer group Eagle managed to collect some 40
bags of garbage from Cisadane River, mostly plastic bags and
drink cans.

"We try to carry out such activities as often as we can,"
Eagle chairman Yoseph Supardi said on Saturday.

Later in the day, the volunteers, along with the staff of
Bodogol resort in Cijeruk district, students and employees of
health drink producer PT Yakult planted hundreds of trees along
the riverbank.

Bodogol resort manager San Andre Jatmiko said that sponsorship
was needed to keep the area clean.

"We have asked the Bogor administration to help us, but the
officials just denied our request," he said. --JP
