Alternatives to Disposable Banners in Balinese Traditional Ceremonies
This is a Response to the [[|]] wikithon
In Bali, the use of disposable banners in religious ceremonies has become a common practice. These banners are often used to provide information related to religious events, such as the name, date, and location. Although their function makes it easier, their use has negative impacts for the environment. Banners printed with plastic or vinyl materials are difficult to decompose. After the ceremony, banners are often thrown away – end up as waste. Therefore, awareness is needed by switching to more environmentally friendly materials or by recycling it. Fabric banners can also be used since they can be used repeatedly for similar events. People can also switch to digital media as a substitute for printed banners for disseminating information. The use of social media and chat groups helps reduce dependence on disposable banners. With these alternatives, religious ceremonies in Bali can still take place sacredly without leaving negative impact on the environment.
