These young Indonesians feel 'eco-anxiety' over climate change. Here's what they are doing to change that

We initiated a platform to gather citizen science mapping tools with LIPI (now BRIN) named marinedebris.id since 2017 with the aim to create appropriate programs based on primary data. This is because we believe anybody can contribute in helping policy-makers and other stakeholders decide what is the best solution in preventing and combating marine debris for a cleaner ocean.

Our clean-up results will be converted to data. We also collaborate with research organizations to develop more date regarding marine debris in Indonesia. Check out those data on www.marinedebris.id.

Research

DCA is committed to raising awareness and providing training on marine debris and its solutions. We actively participate as speakers and trainers in seminars, workshops, and conferences, as well as organize and instruct cleanup activities.

To spread awareness and train how to combat marine debris, we held workshops and trainings to ocean enthusiasts. In 2017 we held the first-ever Indonesian Youth Marine Debris Summit, and in 2018 we co-host YSEALI Regional Workshop: Marine Debris Expedition.

Campaign & Workshop

We cannot combat marine debris alone, and in order to succeed we need communities, especially the ones living by bodies of water, to take action. This can be achieved by empowering them through raising their awareness and provide impactful action against marine debris for them to do in their daily lives.

Eco Trip

<h1>Ocean diving began as a hobby for Swietenia Puspa Lestari.</h1>&nbsp;But after a decade, she saw more rubbish than colourful fish underwater so started to feel anxious."I found so much plastic waste, mainly from single-use plastics such as packaging and straws," she said. Ms Lestari, an environmental engineer, decided to tackle the pollution problem so founded Divers Clean Action six years ago. Now, the organisation has more than 1,000 volunteers across Indonesia.&nbsp;Before the pandemic, the group dived to pick up waste from the ocean, but with more people shopping online because of COVID-19, Ms Lestari now also runs a campaign to eliminate plastic bags and packaging. Ms Lestari, who was on Forbes' 30 Under 30 Social Entrepreneur list last year, said she was one of a growing number of young Indonesians&nbsp;who have felt "eco-anxiety".&nbsp;Read the full article <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-17/young-people-experienced-eco-anxiety-while-trying-to-save-future/100539788" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>

"Eco-anxiety" is very real and becoming more widespread, according to psychologist Carol Ride, founder of Psychology for a Safe Climate. "[Eco-anxiety] is a source of stress caused by watching the slow and seemingly irrevocable impacts of climate change unfold, and worrying about the future for oneself, children and later generations," she said.
