Students of the Department of Indonesian Literature at the State University of Malang have shown great dedication to promoting sustainable lifestyles through their thrift business. M. Isnaini Wijaya, a UM Indonesian Literature Department student, chairs the group. With a passion for creating an environment free from waste, this student has become a pioneer in applying the principle of zero waste in the campus environment and the wider community.
Because he was aware of the negative impact of waste on the environment, he initiated a thrift business that offered a variety of high-quality used goods, from clothing to furniture, taken from community donations. Her efforts aim not only to minimize textile waste but also to raise awareness of the importance of reuse and recycling among students and the general public.
The success of this venture is not only reflected in its popularity among students but also in its impressive achievements. The student’s thrift business has qualified for funding in the CAGARA Entrepreneur Fest 2024 program at the Faculty of Letters, State University of Malang, a testament to her dedication and hard work. With the funding she received, the student plans to expand the reach of her business, improve recycling infrastructure, and organize educational campaigns on the importance of waste reduction. This success is something we can all be proud of and support.
M. Isnaini Wijaya’s achievement is a shining example of a strong commitment to sustainable learning and social responsibility. Her practical solutions to environmental problems and her ability to inspire fellow students to contribute to protecting the planet are truly commendable. With her entrepreneurial spirit and clear vision, this student has not only achieved academic success but has also influenced positive change in society through her concrete efforts to create a more sustainable and empowering environment. Her story is a source of inspiration and motivation for us all.
