Erry Suharyadi: Green and Clean Surabaya
by Tony, Jeffry, Riki, Karno, and Dwi
In 2005, Jawa Pos Group initially conducted Surabaya Green and Clean Program aimed to promote Jawa Pos newspaper with targeting poor people who living in kampongs. Jawa Pos is the biggest business on new papers. I would rather to mention those who living in kampong as poor people because most of them are living under poverty line of $2 a day. Just like any other metropolitan cities, Surabaya comprised into many malls, sky-scrappers, real estate area, but, on the other side, slump area also spreading everywhere. Most of the kampongs were identified as slump area.
While the city government of Surabaya was in local political transition in 2004, the city was suffering unmanaged waste system. People who living in kampong was the most suffering dweller rather than those who living in modern real estate. To get access into kampongs, Jawa Pos Group was building partnership with PKK (women organization) and Karang Taruna (youth organization) to overcome the environment issue.
Through newspaper coupon on Jawa Pos newspaper, the program provided assistance grant for environment improvement. The first activity of Green and Clean Program was “bersih-bersih berhadiah” (grant for clean) which amount Rp12.5 million (around $1000). Those kampongs submitted their proposal through the newspaper coupon on Jawa Pos newspaper. The activities allowed the communities in Surabaya increased “kerja bakti” which used to be acknowledged as annual activities to clean up the neighborhood area, such as sweeping the drain, cutting back the weeds, burning the debris, repainting the public facilities. In the third month, the activities targeted Wonokromo slump area. Along with support of city government, the program attempted to develop plantation in the slump area in which more than 100.000 volunteers involved “kerja bakti” with planted one million trees.
In the second year, the activities stepped on setting up solid waste management system. It adopted zero waste at grass root level through introducing the concept of circular systems in which as much waste as possible was reused, similar to the way that resources are reused in nature.
According to Erry Suharyadi, the key success of this activity is the huge market share of Jawa Pos which comprised more than 80%. In 2008, participants of SGC was noted more than 1800 communities (rukun tetangga).

Sriatun Djupri: from the bottom of the heart
Sriatun leaved her home town of Trenggalek and moved to Surabaya in 1973, in Kampong Jambangan. Living in Kampong Jambangan which near Surabaya River in 1970s was far away from good environment. Instead of a dumping ground, slump area, water pollution, or breeding place of disease, Jambangan was well known as the longest lavatory in Surabaya at that time. Most of the migrant families in Jambangan exploited the river for bathing, washing, and as lavatory. The young Sriatun called it as “helicopter”. That was the time that she promised to attack “the helicopters”.
Involving with some organizations, formally called Karang Taruna (youth organization) and PKK (women organization), she started to promote clean environment through avoiding to use the river for dumping. It started from her own home. In 1986, the city government of Surabaya enacted local regulation which mandated each community to manage their waste inventory effectively, from a simple ship-in, to merge of containers into a tank, or a split of waste.
Believing that the regulation would be an effective weapon to fight for “the helicopters”, Ms Sriatun came to her neighborhood to take a look at whom who already pursuit it. Conversely, her neighbors presumed her activities for fund raising. No wonder that nobody would like to met her. The servant or even dog was the one who preferred to welcome her.
In 1996, the Provincial Government granted public sanitation with 9 lavatories for Kampong Jambangan. However, it needed more and more fighting against the community’s bad habit of disposing of excreta anywhere within the river. Jambangan was still under attack by "the helicopters". In 2000, Unilever promoted Clean Brantas River through greening the river. Starting at the house of Ms Djupri, the program distributed the plant to her neighbor for free. Unilever also renovated the public sanitation which provided by the government. She also got supports from various organizations to compost organic materials, such as Mr Yadi, and Mr Takakura. Many volunteers were involving the program with support from foreign and domestic funding. Nowadays, we cannot find any “helicopters” in Jambangan.
She got many awards for environment movement, i.e. Environment Survivor 2006 from Surabaya Mayor Bambang Dwihartono, Global Award from Austria 2006, Kalpataru 2008 from President Yudhoyono, Green and Clean Award 2007 from Jawa Post, Heroes 2009 in Kick Any Metro TV.
