Orlaey, with his enthusiastic smile, hugged the clean trash he has been with for 3 months. Today is the first time he will send his recyclables to the trash bank ordered through the application. 

"I hope you will be of good use to the earth."


 the feeling of happiness is interspersed with fear. With his lazy nature, Orlaey is afraid that he can't consistently carry out this new habit How could I not? He must be able to diet without plastic by carrying a tote bag when shopping and not using plastic straws. Still, he has a reusable deposit, takes a lunch box when he wants to buy food, and purchases snacks as necessary. He has been doing this for 3 months on the plastic waste diet. Right now, the earth is not well. Garbage is one of the causes of the climate crisis in the world. 

"good morning, with mas orlaey?". 


"Thank you for your participation, sir,"

 said the old man who brought his 3-month trash to the trash heaven. 

With a friendly smile, 

"have a safe drive, sir."


-------

"Are you sure the palm sugar coffee is laey?" 

"yasshh, as always without a plastic straw" 

"my mistake, hehe." 

Orlaey gave her empty lunch box to the waitress to fill in the Matcha Slice Cake. Pathi smiles, seeing orlaey. 


"tuusshhh" 

Pathi plastic straw plug got a grin at orlaey. 

"It's just crazy, isn't it crazy outside? 

Where is this place far from the bus stop? 

The roads are really jammed.

 The smoke makes it really hot and crazy..." 


he paused while sipping his matcha latte. 


"Even now, it's suddenly raining very hard" 

"The weather hurts"

 Orlaey chuckled at that and took out the travel-friendly cutlery he brought from home to eat his matcha cake. 

Yeah, he can't stop thinking about people who can feel how crazy the weather changes but don't know the cause of those changes. Are they not worried about seeing that the landfill in Bantar Gebang is equivalent to the 15th floor of buildings? 

THE 15TH FLOOR OF THE BUILDING IS TRASH.

The pile of 15 floors is one of the impacts of the climate crisis on earth. 

Imagine the 8 billion people in the world who consume waste every second and are not wise with their own waste. But less than 8 billion people in the world are environmentally friendly activists like Orlaey. 

He is very happy and proud to have a few of the 8 billion people like him. But seeing that all the customers in a reasonably large cafe use 100% plastic waste and lately, he has also heard a lot of ridicule from his friends who say that all the efforts he is making are not suitable for the earth. After all, the evidence is that the earth is getting worse daily. 

And also, when shopping at the market, he is constantly forced by the seller who gives him a plastic bag. Moreover, his family members could not adapt to this new habit. Other factors make Orlaey shake with his new tradition, which looks trivial. Still, if he gets used to it, it will become heavy, coupled with various opposite temptations that make him want to give up. 

Suddenly Orlaey and Pathi eyes met, and 

"Are you tired of Gas Laey?" 

like understanding where Pathi question was going 

"to be honest, yes. 

Do you think I should give up? 

Stop doing this useless thing. 

After all, this also doesn't change at all. 

Just like you said earlier, the weather is getting crazier and crazier.

 I'm exhausted." 

...

"It's okay... it's okay if you want to stop. 

But now I have a surprise for you" 


"now let's just go to Tito's house, okay."

-----------------

The pile of large sacks became Orlaey main focus when he arrived at Tito's house. 


"But my advice is that you continue to be a fighter for go green. 

I am Tito, Ranzy, and Ilka, who will be Go Green Opportunities with you." 


Orlaey is still focused on the pile of garbage which,

 if counted for 4 people...

is already 2 months old. 

"from the start, you decided to make my plastic diet habit, and others unconsciously were also motivated to fight to reduce the impact of this climate crisis" 


"When I was at the cafe I realized why the weather was changing so drastically and what was the cause" 

"and garbage I will send my drink and straw from the cafe earlier to the garbage bank hehe"

 "So don't stop, okay? It's normal if starting a new habit involves many tests and challenges" 

"We have cleaned and sorted all of this. Now all you have to do is order on the go green application so that the trash points will go to your account"

Orlaey just kept quiet,

 listening to Phati long explanation. Three seconds later, he immediately hugged his four friends and said his deepest thanks while taking out his cell phone to order trash pickup. 

"It's okay to order someone to pick you up, but.." 

Ranzy words made Orlaey lose her enthusiasm. 

"Let's just let go of your hug... we're this hot..." 

Orlaey innocent smirks and formed a love sign with her body.
