CRAFT OF MANGO LEAVES(Making Crafts objects from organic waste material)

Waste or waste materials being dumped into trash that seemed useless, even if left unchecked will continue to grow in line with the number of people who throw garbage. As a result, settlement becomes less comfortable, many diseases arise, and the mounting trash can clog water channels, causing flooding pembuanyan. Each year the problem of waste continues to grow. Various attempts were made to reduce landfill waste that more and more difficult to destroy waste by bacteria in the soil. The role of the human hand to reduce landfill waste, speeding up waste decomposition becomes very urgent.Scavengers have a role to reduce landfill waste. More humane when people have an awareness of how to dispose of garbage properly. Thus allowing pemngelolaan waste / waste more easily. Waste processing machinery is necessary to reduce the pile of garbage. Habits of the community dispose of waste without waste classifications for easier processing is still very low. In response to this government to promote the movement 3 R (Using that still can be used again / Re Use, Recycle that can be recycled / Re Cycle, And to save energy and destroy the source of waste that can not be used and recycled for rapid bacteria can be described decomposers in the soil / Re Duce). Of course the government declared the need to be added again that utilize the waste for other uses that are more useful and bring in economic value than a Reuse or Re Cycle, for example using waste materials to produce a creative and unique.Using waste as a raw material of creative and unique objects is not easy, but more is needed is perseverance and patience.

Basic execution
Stages in the manufacture of handicrafts, from mango leaves as follows.Leaf Collection
