Present at the agenda were the ranks of the Purwakarta Forkopimda, the Purwakarta Regent represented by the Regional Secretary Norman Nugraha, the Purwakarta Ulama and the Head of the Al-Muhajirin Islamic Boarding School.

In his speech, the Minister of Environment (LH) and Head of the Environmental Control Agency (BPLH), Dr. Hanif Faisol Nurofiq said, in addition to Purwakarta Regency, precisely at the Al Muhajirin Islamic Boarding School, the same activity was also carried out at the Nur El Falah Islamic Boarding School, Serang, the Eco Daarut Tauhid Islamic Boarding School, West Bandung, the Assalam Islamic Boarding School, Sukoharjo, the Al Munawwir Islamic Boarding School Krapyak, Bantul, the Nurul Hidayah Islamic Boarding School, Probolinggo, the Al Hidayah Islamic Center Islamic Boarding School, Kampar and at the Darunnajah Islamic Boarding School, East Lampung.

Meanwhile, waste management carried out in accordance with environmental regulations only reached 39 percent, so that around 61 percent of the 56.6 million tons of waste were not managed properly.

"Some were dumped at the final waste processing site, others were dumped in other places along the road, river, maybe in some of the Islamic boarding schools and also along the coastlines. Of course, this has caused extraordinary environmental damage," said Hanif.
