In many areas of Jakarta, the air pollution is choking, what little green spaces there are are
wilting and garbage festers on street corners. And then there's Banjarsari, a green oasis on
the outskirts of city.
The neighbourhood was once yet another dirty, polluted suburb of Indonesia's congested
capital.
But thanks to decades of work by environmental activist Harini Bambang Wahono, who
promised herself to make Banjarsari clean and green when she moved there in 1983,
recycling and tree-planting are now second-nature to most residents.
