Optimizing Biopores for Organic Waste Management in Religious Ceremonies in Bali
This is a Response to the [[|]] wikithon
Hindu religious activities in Bali, such as worship ceremonies, produce a lot of organic waste, including leftover flowers, leaves, incense, and canang. While it is still difficult to reduce the use of these materials, we can manage the waste by separating organic and non-organic types and using biopore holes. Biopores are vertical cylindrical holes with a diameter of 10-30 cm and a depth of 80-100 cm. They help absorb water and produce compost from organic waste like flower and leaf remnants (Baguna et al., 2021, p. 132). Since 2021, Pimpinan Cabang Kesatuan Mahasiswa Hindu Dharma Indonesia (PCKMHDI) has launched the GEMPAR program (Gerakan Pemasangan Biopori untuk Pura di Denpasar). This initiative aims to create biopores at all temples in Denpasar (Satya Widya: Jurnal Studi Agama, 2024, Vol. 7, No. 1). This method can be a model for temples throughout Bali, maintaining cleanliness and providing compost for plants.
