Gerakan Tanpa sedotan: Hindari Kerusakan Lingkungan

Abstract

Environmental damage caused by the consumptive style of modern society causes harm not only to the life of the community itself but also to all living things. The social movement is carried out by the community to increase community awareness and empowerment in preserving environmental functions. This study examines the issue of new social movements, namely #NoStrawMovement. The #NoStrawMovement movement invites people to participate in maintaining and caring for their own environment by reducing the reduction of plastic straws. The purpose of this study is to determine the extent of the effectiveness of the #NoStrawMovement movement in influencing community behavior to anticipate environmental damage. This study uses qualitative methods with descriptive studies that aim to describe the overall problem of the research. The results showed that the success of this movement was evidenced by the significant reduction in the use of plastic straws among the public. This success was also influenced by several food restaurants that no longer provided plastic straws for the community. Like a virus that continues to spread, the anti-plastic straw movement continues to expand and create awareness for almost every community.
