THE ONE MILLION TUMBLER MOVEMENT: STATE CIVIL SERVANTS’ PERCEPTION ON TUMBLER USE AND PLASTIC WASTE REDUCTION

One of the Indonesian government's steps to overcome the plastic waste problem is by initiating The One Million Tumbler Movement campaign. Civil Servants as government agents must have good knowledge and apply this policy in their lives and their environment. This is a case study approach through in-depth interviews, field observation, and literature study. The informant of this study was The Center for Standardization of Disaster and Climate Change Instruments (PUSAT-SIKBPI) civil servants with structural and functional career backgrounds. The result showed that the civil servants have knowledge about plastic waste reduction and have a supportive perception of tumbler use. The Center for Standardization of Disaster and Climate Change Instruments’ management supports the tumbler's use as a new habit related to The One Million Tumbler Movement campaign. The family values on environment characterize the tumbler and plastic bag uses in general. However, although civil servants’ environmental awareness has formed, the Covid-19 pandemic has made plastic consumption unavoidable. Support from the environment (The management and the family environment) is essential to help civil servants continue habitual implementation of tumbler use and the plastic awareness movement in general.
