activit ies; from the cheapest most expensive simplest most sophisticated. Our world seems to be wrapped in

plastics This paper concerns on the plastic

common man-made l i tters reported by sailors at sea.

Plastics contributed >80 % of total marit ime pollutions.

They result in marine l ife: through entanglement, ingestion, and suffocation.

I. Landfil l Public concern related to plastic bags is

‘bad.’ Landfi l l becomes a ‘place’ that some

people search for re-useable, re-cycleable, or resalable materials.

Landfi l l is NOT healthy for humans. Stil l , we f ind people and/or animals

search for things.

Plastic garbage can get caught in the propeller shafts or block water intakes in the boats.

The caught and blockage wil l cause expensive repairs and loss of income, while vessels are being repaired.

B. Social Issues III. Attitudes

Plastic bags are widely and conveniently used.

Majority of consumers use at least one new plastic bag per day.

ROLES AND INNOVATIVE TEACHING Environmental education

…a interdisciplinary approach emphasizes on nature-human inter-

relationship involving cit izens at all ages a participant-centered that allows

involvement in the choice of issues and problem-solving solutions


UKM-UNRI 28

Goals (UNESCO)

Level 1: Knowledge/Ecological Foundation Goal 2: Awareness of Issues & Values Goal 3: Issue Investigation & Evaluation Goal 4: Action skil ls & Participation


UKM-UNRI 29

Goals of envt’ l education (UNESCO)

Level 1: Knowledge/Ecological Foundation Provides sufficient knowledge on ecology Allows him/her to make ecological

decisions with respect to environment

Goal 2: Awareness of Issues & Values Develop high degree of awareness Action and influence between l ife and the

quality of environment


UKM-UNRI 30

Level 3: Issue Investigation & Evaluation

Develop skil ls to investigate environmental issues

Evaluate alternative solutions for remediating the environmental issues

Goal 4: Action skil ls & Participation Develop skil ls to take positive

environmental actions Achieves and maintains equil ibrium

between li fe and quality of environment


UKM-UNRI 31

INNOVATIVE OF TEACHING

Application of problem-based learning Interdisciplinary of relevant areas

(sciences, social sciences, etc.) Applies science processes and scientif ic

skil ls (hands-on investigation) Decisions and actions based on values

(e.g.: law, environmental, polit ical, rel igion, cultural, +ve participations, economical, etc.

III. Conclusions ..

Despite popularity, plastic bags appears to be ‘bad.’

Certain issues of concerned by public are a. environment, b. health, and c. social Alternative ways to minimize problems

associated with plastic wastes, known as “5R-approach” i .e.: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, React, and Reject.


UKM-UNRI 34

III. Conclusions …Reduce: minimize the use of plastic bags.Reuse: plastic bags are used over and

over, over t ime (make sure the hygienity).Recycle: collect, process, remanufacture,

and market plastic bags in their original or new forms.

Recommend+Participate positive actions (…littering and consumer behavior).

IV. Recommendations ..


UKM-UNRI 37

IV. Recommendations … LDPE

Enforce legislative options and scopes. Conduct extensive research on all

aspects, recommend goods and bad of plastic bags.

UKM-UNRI 39

IV. Recommendations ..

Encourage consumers and retai lers to shift to multi-use and longlife bags (thru education, awareness programs, alternatives use of plastic bags, and making collection information available to the public).

Increase campaigns on reusable plastic bags (governments, non-government organizations, retailers, and consumers).

Promote marine and land-based awareness, skil ls, and participation on l i ttering, and pollution.


UKM-UNRI 40

Develop+Implement current and future national best practice of waste management.

Alternative using other type of plastic bags: degradable.

Degradable: … is incorporated with certain chemical that is

photo-degradable or bio-degradable or chemically treatable.
