Abstract

The article illustrates the research on environmental literacy of women in Jakarta, Indonesia, related to managing household waste through the application of the ‘5R’ principle: reduce, reuse, recycle, replant, and recovery. The results show that women exceeded the operational level literacy by taking proactive actions to empower their communities to protect the environment.
