Abstract
Solid waste generation continues to rise and poses problems of disposal and management. There is
therefore an urgent need to educate the public about waste reduction as a viable means of solid waste
management. Exposing students to vermicomposting as a viable waste reduction activity become concrete
experiences from which they learn about the benefits of waste reduction to the environment and promote
this practice among themselves.
Penghasilan sisa pepejal semakin meningkat dan menyebabkan pelbagai masalah pelupusan dan
pengurusan. Dengan ini amatlah penting bagi masyarakat dididik tentang pengurangan sisa sebagai satu
kaedah yang sesuai bagi mengurus sisa pepejal. Pendedahan pelajar kepada aktiviti vermikompos sebagai
satu kaedah pengurangan sisa menjadi pengalaman konkrit. Melalui aktiviti ini mereka mempelajari tentang
faedah pengurangan sisa kepada alam sekitar dan menggalakkan amalan ini dalam kalangan mereka.
