DAAI TV, a national media made a 5 minutes coverage on a local campaign called “Let’s go bike”.
This local campaign was conducted by students of SMA Taruna Bhakti Bandung. The students believe that they can make a difference through this act and this was a way to save our earth from global warming.
“We want to invite many people whether they are our school friends or ordinary people to make less polution through biking,” said Chyndar Naya Putri, the committee of Taruna Bhakti Let’s Go Bike. Chyndar admitted that the idea to do an environmental campaign got stronger after she and friend attended a workshop “Be the Change” which held by Oxfam and Greeners in October 2008 in Bandung.
This campaign involved more than 200 students of SMA Taruna Bakti. They went by bike to attend a Talk Show event at Taman Pramuka, Bandung. Many resource persons from Bikers Communities attended this activity as well as the local leader and government.
SMA Taruna Bakti Bandung will continue this campaign and they’ve made a commitment to go bike to school one time every month. This commitment also supported by Local Government of Bandung City, West Java.
So everyone, Let’s go bike and Be the change!
