Vol 2 No 3 (2023): An Nizam : Jurnal Bakti Bagi Bangsa

Health is something that is the main focus for every country. When a country has a healthy society, its people will also become more productive. It is important for the community to always implement healthy living behavior, of course, before implementing healthy living behavior, first increase public awareness of the importance of implementing healthy living behavior in everyday life. Apart from that, what is still a problem is that many people do not realize that creating a healthy society requires efforts to create a healthy environment as well. Such as protecting the environment from waste that can damage the environment if it is continuously thrown away carelessly. One of them is used cooking oil waste which is still the center of attention, especially in Indonesia. The methods used in this service program are observation and interviews, outreach, environmental advocacy.
