BANTUL. Rumah Zakat mengadakan aksi bersih pantai di Pantai Cemara Sewu. Kegiatan itu mengangkat tema “Sampah bukan Warisan” menggandeng Cita Sehat Foundation dan relawan-relawan.
Pantai Cemara Sewu sendiri berada di Desa Parangtritis, Kecamatan Kretek, Kabupaten Bantul, DIY. Kegiatan sekaligus untuk memperingati Hari Peduli Sampah Nasional 2019.
Sebanyak 40 orang ikut serta bergotong-royong membersihkan sampah yang ada di sekitaran Pantai Cemara Sewu. Mereka terdiri dari Relawan Rumah Zakat, pengelola pantai dan masyarakat.
Kepala Bidang Pengelolaan Sampah, Limbah B3 dan Peningkatan Kapasitas Dinas Lingkungan Hidup Kabupaten Bantul, Wahid mengatakan, Kabupaten Bantul memang sangat serius dalam menangani permasalahan sampah.
Terlebih, Kabupaten Bantul memiliki target 2019 Bantul Bebas Sampah. Maka itu, Wahid menekankan, semua elemen yang ada memang didorong terus meningkatkan kualitas pengelolaan sampah.
“Baik sampah di permukiman dan terlebih lagi sampah di area wisata, agar area wisata bisa bersih tanpa ada sampah,” kata Wahid, Selasa (12/2).
Pembersihan pantai sendiri dilakukan di seluruh area Pantai Cemara Sewu. Mulai area pohon cemara yang banyak digunakan wisatawan untuk bersantai, hingga ke area bibir pantai.
Koordinator aksi bersih pantai, Langgeng mengatakan, banyak sampah yang kecil-kecil ditemukan para peserta aksi. Seperti sedotan, bungkus sedotan, bungkus permen dan sebagainya.
Ia melihat, sampah-sampah yang ditemukan itu selama ini memang dianggap remeh. Padahal, sampah inilah yang sangat mengganggu habitat laut yang ada, walaupun ukurannya kerap membuatnya terlihat sepele.
“Mari kita peduli sampah sampai ke sampah yang paling kecil sekalipun harus kita buang pada tempatnya,” ujar Langgeng.
Kegiatan itu diakhiri dengan penancapan papan bertuliskan Sampah bukan Warisan. Selain itu, diselenggarakan diskusi bersama masyarakat pengurus Pantai Cemara Sewu tentang pengelolaan sampah di pantai.
Ketua Pengurus Pantai Cemara Sewu, Sugiran, memberikan apresiasi tinggi kepada relawan-relawan yang sudah menginisiasi kegiatan tersebut. Ia berpendapat, kegiatan itu seperti menjadi dorongan positif bagi mereka.
“Dorongan secara moril dan materil dalam pengelolaan sampah di Pantai Cemara Sewu,” kata Sugiran.

Cemara Sewu Beach itself is located in Parangtritis Village, Kretek District, Bantul Regency, DIY. The event is also to commemorate 2019 National Waste Care Day.
A total of 40 people took part in the collaboration to clean up the garbage around Cemara Sewu Beach. They consist of Rumah Zakat Volunteers, beach managers and the community.
Head of the Waste Management, B3 Waste and Capacity Building for Bantul Regency Environmental Agency, Wahid said, Bantul Regency was indeed very serious in dealing with garbage problems.
Moreover, Bantul Regency has a target of 2019 Bantul Free of Trash. Therefore, Wahid stressed that all existing elements were encouraged to continue to improve the quality of waste management.
“Both the garbage in the settlements and especially the garbage in the tourist area, so that the tourist area can be clean without any garbage,” Wahid said, Tuesday (12/2).
Cleaning the beach itself is done in the entire area of Cemara Sewu Beach. Start the pine tree area which is widely used by tourists to relax, to the beach area.
The coordinator of the clean beach action, Langgeng said, many small pieces of garbage were found by the participants of the action. Like straws, wrap straws, candy wrappers and so on.
He saw, the garbage that had been found so far was indeed underestimated. In fact, this garbage is very disturbing to the existing marine habitat, even though its size often makes it look trivial.
“Let us care about garbage to the smallest garbage even if we must dispose of it in its place,” Langgeng said.
The activity was ended with the sticking of a sign that read Garbage is not Inheritance. In addition, discussions were held with the management community of Cemara Sewu Beach about waste management on the beach.
The Chairperson of the Cemara Sewu Beach, Sugiran, gave high appreciation to the volunteers who had initiated the activity. He argued, the activity was like being a positive encouragement for them.
“The encouragement is morally and materially in the management of waste at Cemara Sewu Beach,” Sugiran said.
