Visitors make Bandung Zoo dirty

Visitors make Bandung Zoo dirty

From Pikiran Rakyat

I am a Bandung resident and am always concerned with
environmental affairs. On Oct. 18, I took my family to Bandung
Zoo. I saw a lot of kindergarten and elementary school pupils
along with their teachers and parents.

Unfortunately, before leaving the zoo, I saw the whole area
was littered with plastic bottles and food wrappers although
there are garbage cans for refuse.

This is to be pitied because teachers and parents should tell
their pupils/children to dispose of garbage and refuse properly.
This would also help make Bandung and Bandung Zoo clean and
comfortable.

In this context, I would like to call on the management of the
zoo to assign cleanliness officers during days when there are a
lot of visitors. These officers must give stern warnings to
visitors throwing garbage and refuse on the ground.
