"Preserving the Sacredness of Temples Through Waste Management Based on Tradition and Regulations"

This is a Response to the Sampah Upacara wikithon

Reducing waste at temples can begin by implementing *Bali Governor Regulation No. 97 of 2018*, which limits the use of single-use plastics. For example, temples can adopt a *zero waste* approach by encouraging worshippers to bring offerings without plastic wrapping, potentially reducing plastic waste by up to 30% per ceremony.

Additionally, waste bins should be provided according to type—organic and non-organic—as per *Regional Regulation No. 5 of 2011* on Waste Management. Organic waste, such as leaves from offerings, can be composted and used as fertilizer for ornamental plants around the temple area.

This initiative can be strengthened through monthly education and collective cleanup events, so that worshippers not only perform rituals but also actively maintain the sacred natural surroundings of their place of worship
