“Waste Whispers tells the story of a huge garbage disaster in Yogyakarta. When the Piyungan landfill closed for two months due to excess garbage, the city faced a messy situation. As garbage collection services were interrupted, garbage started piling up everywhere. People didn’t know what to do, so they started dumping garbage in the streets, rivers, forests and even the ocean. In the midst of this crisis, air pollution skyrocketed to high levels due to the practice of burning garbage.
