Balinese people's lives are very closely tied to religion, customs, traditions and culture. Of course it cannot be separated from the ceremony or the burden of tenan. According to the Ministry of Religion article, Upakara is all sacred offerings made to Ida Sang Hyang Widhi. It feels like there is no day that is not celebrated, and there is no place that is not celebrated. However, when we offer upakara or offerings, of course there is a remainder called surudan or lunguran. We can consume waste such as fruit, meat and food, but waste in the form of stitches will definitely become residual waste. If this waste is not processed properly it will become a problem. The author, as a young generation, has a program and strategy called "BALE KOMPOS". This program is a program that is run in every traditional village in Bali. Why is that? Because traditional villages are the institutions closest to the religious life of the Balinese people. The Compost Bale is a place to process waste left over from traditional ceremonies into compost which can be processed not in the form of fruit or snacks but which can be processed in the Compost Bale in the form of stitches. Bale Kompos is not only a place to process upakara waste, but there is a place called "Teba Village" which contains all local Balinese upakara plants, vegetables and fruit. Ceremonial waste in each housing and temple was collected. However, only dried and chopped are allowed. Each house will have a membership card and be given points. If you have a lot of points, you can exchange them for crops in Teba Village. Those who manage it are local communities, so that it can increase employment opportunities and community productivity. Therefore, the Bale Kompos program is very good for building villages and reducing religious waste. +

Before I continue to answer about my opinion regarding waste after finishing praying, allow me to introduce myself. My name is I Dewa Putu Kusuma Putra, I am from SMA N 1 Baturiti. For the procedures for dealing with waste after you finish watching, I hope that all people do not bring plastic waste because it will pollute the temple area. If it is organic waste, it should be taken back to each other's homes so that the temple area remains orderly and beautiful as a form of our devotion. to Almighty God. If not us, who else will respond to this, and the public should know about the condition of our earth which is full of plastic waste.
That's what I said a little, if there are any mistakes in my words, I apologize profusely, I close with parama santhi,
Om Santhi Santhi Santhi Om . +
Judging from the current condition of the Earth, the issue of waste is a very serious problem, both organic waste and non-organic waste produced after holding religious ceremonies. Therefore, we as Balinese people must keep Bali so that it is always beautiful. One way is to reduce the use of plastic when we carry out religious ceremonies, for example replacing the plastic used to wrap ceremonial facilities with leaves. Likewise, when you want to carry canang, avoid using plastic and use a bokor or cloth bag which is more environmentally friendly. Organic waste such as canang, sampian, cemper segehan and other means that have been used for prayer can be used as organic fertilizer by utilizing modern biopori or teba infiltration hole innovation. Then, lunguran fruit can also be used to make an eco-enzyme mixture, namely a fermentation solution made from a mixture of fruit and vegetables which has many benefits. +

Plastic waste is waste that society cannot forget. especially if there is a religious event, especially Hindus flocking to bring plastic as a place for prayer facilities at religious activities.
But there are several solutions used to reduce plastic waste at religious events:
The first: using banana leaves as a flower holder for prayer
Second: use environmentally friendly ingredients when making Banten, such as wrapping snacks in banana leaves.
The third uses cloth bags for Banten's infrastructure which are used repeatedly to keep the environment stable.
The fourth is to use decorations at the temple using environmentally friendly materials such as making penjor using coconut busung bamboo and other materials so as not to create more plastic waste.
Fifth, after carrying out religious activities or carrying out religious activities, think about the many waste banks in place at each event venue, at least prepare organic or inorganic waste bins.
Sixth: take plastic waste to each other's homes after using it in religious activities.
That's my brief opinion regarding how to reduce plastic waste at religious events
Come on, take care of the earth
Far from plastic waste.
Because plastic waste makes us nauseous.
Om santih Santih Santih Om +
Efforts to reduce plastic waste can also be implemented in the implementation of religious ceremonies, such as no longer using plastic bags as a place to ask for holy water for pemedek and replacing them with sangku which can be used continuously. Telling pilgrims to take home prayer facilities that are no longer in use. When buying food in the temple area, make sure you don't leave traces of the food there. Remind pilgrims not to use plastic for prayer facilities. Canang sari waste that is no longer used can be processed to make organic fertilizer and use flower waste to make a mixture for making incense. +
According to research on waste management from dipura ceremonies into rdf (refuse derived fuel) conducted by Fransiskus Vebrian Kenedey, Dewa Ngakan Ari Yudiaskara, Made Vina Maharani from Mahasaraswati University, the waste from religious ceremonies is dominated by biodegradable waste with a composition of around 80%, such as banana leaves, flowers, coconut leaves, coconut fibre, food offerings and so on.
Overcoming the problem of religious waste can no longer rely solely on the addition of landfills. What is needed now is an independent and local wisdom-based waste management innovation.
Teba, which in the Balinese tradition is an area behind the house for gardening and processing organic waste, can be adapted to be a solution in waste management in the temple area. Modern Teba is a waste management centre that focuses on religious ceremony waste. With a composting system, the organic waste generated can be reprocessed to support organic farming in Bali. +
The island of Bali, known as "Pulau Dewata" (Island of the Gods), signifies the dwelling place of deities in Hinduism. Bali is recognized globally as a tourist destination, renowned for its natural beauty. However, Bali's charm has begun to fade due to a serious problem: plastic waste. In 2024, around 3,597 tons of plastic waste had accumulated in Bali.
This problem arises from a lack of public awareness about waste management. Many people still dispose of trash carelessly, threatening the island's beauty. Therefore, as the people of Bali and the younger generation of Indonesia, we must work together to address this issue. Plastic waste can be transformed into valuable products. With the spirit of the younger generation, we must preserve the sustainability of the Island of the Gods, ensuring it remains an exotic tourist destination. +
Hinduism in Bali applies the Tri Hita Karana teachings, which in these teachings apply how to be devoted and loving between humans and Ida Sang Hyang Widhi, humans with each other, and humans with the entire universe or environment. It cannot be denied that the implementation of Hindu religious ceremonies in Bali does produce a lot of waste, both organic and inorganic, in its implementation, but this can be overcome by utilizing organic waste into fertilizer by planting it in the yard/garden. Simply put, we return things that come from nature to nature. Meanwhile, inorganic waste requires pure awareness from individuals in Bali, by reducing the use of plastic waste for themselves, others and the universe. Come on, my brother, let's build Bali into a New Era Advanced Bali, preserve the land of Bali. +
By reducing the use of plastic bags. +
To reduce waste in religious ceremonies, we can take the following steps:
1. Reduce Plastic Use:
Replace single-use plastics with reusable materials, such as cloth bags or refillable drinking bottles.
2. Provide a separate trash can:
Make sure there are separate bins for organic, inorganic and recyclable waste, so that the waste management process is more efficient.
That is a way to reduce waste at religious events that we can do. +
As we know, Bali is home to countless temples, earning it the nickname 'Island of a Thousand Temples'. In addition to its rich culture, Bali's natural beauty is renowned worldwide. However, in this modern era, Bali faces various challenges, one of which is the waste generated from religious ceremonies. Plastic waste, styrofoam, and other remnants from these rituals pose significant environmental threats. This pollution can mar Bali's natural beauty, contaminate water sources, and even lead to health issues.
Therefore, the people of Bali need to be more mindful of environmental cleanliness by adopting the 3R principle (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) during religious ceremonies. We must reduce the use of single-use plastics and shift towards natural materials. Moreover, organic waste from offerings can be composted. For this initiative to succeed, cooperation from the government, temples, communities, and tourism stakeholders is essential to ensure Bali's sustainability. +
In my view, an effective and efficient way to reduce waste in every religious activity is to use the principle of "recycling plastic into cloth". This principle can be applied with several activities such as prohibiting the use of plastic in every religious activity and replacing it with cloth and indeed if this It is not possible to replace plastic with cloth, it is fine if you want to bring plastic but it is best if the plastic brought by visitors must be brought back. This will minimize plastic waste in religious activities. For organic waste such as flowers, canang and others, it can be sorted and a special place can be made to be processed into useful things such as fertilizer. My advice is don't throw it away. Because organic waste has many benefits. Apart from that, so that waste is not scattered around, it is better to provide waste bins that are separated into organic and inorganic waste so that it is easier to process the waste. +
Efforts to reduce plastic waste can also be implemented in the implementation of religious ceremonies, such as no longer using plastic bags as a place to ask for holy water for pemedek and replacing them with sangku which can be used continuously. Telling pilgrims to take home prayer facilities that are no longer in use. When buying food in the temple area, make sure you don't leave traces of the food there. Remind pilgrims not to use plastic for prayer facilities. Canang sari waste that is no longer used can be processed to make organic fertilizer and use flower waste to make a mixture for making incense. +
In my opinion, how to overcome waste in religious ceremonies, Bali is known as an area with a thousand temples, therefore in Bali there must be a religious ceremony or what is often called odalan. When odalan, the worshipers who want to pray must arrange banten and bring prayer equipment such as flowers, canang, and incense. There are still many people who use plastic for their flower holders, many people are also not aware of the environment so they carelessly leave their prayer waste just left like that which makes the temple polluted and dirty. How to overcome waste in the temple can be by taking the remaining flowers that have been used into the organic trash bin, putting 2 organic and inorganic trash bins, normalizing the temple without plastic and other disposable items, directing the community to work together after the odalan is finished. +
In this world there are many problems that can pollute the environment, one of which is the problem of waste. Garbage, especially in Bali, Bangli is a problem that is quite complicated to solve, waste in Bali for example is waste from religious ceremonies, where in Bangli, especially in Batur, there are always religious ceremonies every month or year where the event will produce a lot of rubbish such as coconut palm rubbish. plastic waste, flower waste and so on. Thus, in my opinion, the way to reduce waste resulting from religious ceremonies is first with awareness from the community itself. From the awareness of the community itself, those who can be invited to contribute to not throwing rubbish carelessly will be able to reduce the amount of rubbish. Then secondly, we might be able to process coconut leaf waste to make compost because leaf leaves are a plant so they can definitely be used as compost. If the plastic waste can be recycled and sold to plastic waste suppliers so that the waste can be handled properly +
In Bali, there is a lot of waste from religious activities that can make our environment dirty if not managed properly. But, there are actually many ways to solve this problem. For example, we can start by separating dry and wet waste. If there is organic waste, we can use a shredder to speed up the decomposition process, then turn it into compost that is useful for the soil.
Used flowers from religious ceremonies can also be dried and processed into incense or fragrances that smell good. In addition, waste from banten, such as leaves and flowers, can be turned into environmentally friendly biofuel. With these methods, we are not only keeping our environment clean, but also making better use of waste. +
We have to reduce inorganic waste and organic waste in the Batur Temple area, by sorting the waste, with this we can reduce waste in the Batur Temple area. +
In the following way:
1. Use eco-friendly materials: Replace single-use items (such as plastic cups, bags, or styrofoam plates) with reusable materials like bamboo, leaves, or biodegradable alternatives.
2. Provide separate trash bins: Set up separate bins for organic and inorganic waste to make recycling more efficient.
3. Reduce plastic packaging: For food distribution, avoid using plastic packaging. Use biodegradable or reusable containers instead.
4. Education and socialization: Involve the community in education programs about the importance of reducing waste and demonstrate real examples during religious activities.
5. Use local flowers: In ceremonies requiring flower offerings, try to use local flowers that are more environmentally friendly instead of imported ones often wrapped in plastic.
6. Minimize paper use: If printed materials like invitations or prayers are necessary, use digital alternatives or print minimally on recycled paper.
7. Use natural containers for holy water: During ceremonies, holy water (tirta) can be offered in natural containers like coconut shells or earthenware vessels, reducing the use of plastic. +
Garbage is a problem that has entered Indonesia, especially in our area of Bali, in Bali it certainly cannot be separated from the customs that are followed, especially in the Batur area, in Batur it is definitely popular in Bali because Batur has a temple called Pura Ulun Danur Batur which is the largest temple. 2nd in Bali and there is no eton in religious ceremonies in Batur resulting in a lot of waste on both Purnama Kapat and Purnama Kedasa. Some of the waste in this temple is 70% organic waste such as flower waste, or other basang tools, 30% is inorganic waste such as We can reduce the amount of used plastic waste from cans, we can reduce the amount of waste, this is patient religious activities can be carried out by using good waste disposal methods by packing the cans/tins that will also be handed over or by throwing flowers into the trash cans that have been prepared so that the remaining waste remains in a beautiful place. +
Ulun Danu Batur Temple is often considered the second largest temple in Bali because Most of the population is Hindu because of its large number. The large number of temples is one of the reasons why there are still many Hindu places of worship. They are easy to find. Bali cannot be separated from traditional ceremonies and ceremonies religion. Things like containers that create attraction. Therefore Ulun Danu temple has become popular as a tourist destination because their culture and customs. Hindus in Bali have a variety traditional ceremonies whose philosophy is conscious of nature and meaning protect the environment when performing rituals. 1 One a form of effort to protect and preserve nature by carrying out rituals specifically those used in nature in a way that originates from nature.
