Ramon Tungka Unloads Simple Ways To Make Children Care For The Environment

AKARTA - Loving and protecting the environment is an important thing to do for the welfare of life. This is not only done by adults but also from childhood.

In instilling a sense of environmental love in children, parents must guide. The first step that can be done and the most effective is to start from home and simple daily habits, as Ramon Tungka, an actor and environmental activist, said.

"Sesimple sorting waste at home. Because the environmental problems start from where we live. The problem of garbage piling up at the TPA is a downstream problem, the problem upstream is at home," said Ramon Tungka when met in the Blok M area, Jakarta, on Thursday, December 4, 2025.

Not only that, parents must also introduce types of waste to their children since now. Starting from organic to non-organic waste.

It is also necessary to teach wise habits in consuming or using goods. Especially to buy goods according to your needs, so as not to become garbage that can damage the environment.

"How do children know that this is called organic waste, this is non-organic. But what is even upstream is consumption behavior. If you don't need to buy something, you don't have to buy it," he said.

After teaching good habits to protect the environment at home, then teaching children to take care of the environment directly in nature. Show the natural beauty that can be enjoyed, so that feelings of love and care for them can appear well in children.

Then children must also be introduced to natural realities that may have been polluted by human behavior so as not to imitate them. Like Ramon, who admitted that he did not hesitate to invite his son to the landfill in order to provide a concrete picture of the impact of human behavior.

So before you face this, I will prepare this. Later when you grow up, your problem is bigger than what your father felt. Because this environmental issue is an important investment for the future of the earth and its next generation," concluded Ramon Tungka.
