Headline:3km of Trash Covers Jakarta Mangrove Forest
Date: July 13, 2023
Newsworthy Events
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Jakarta Regional Government deployed 200 combined personnel of North Jakarta and Thousand Islands Regional Environment Office to clean the trash in Muara Angke Mangroves Forest on Wednesday, July 12, 2023. The personnel cleaned around 50 cubic meters of trash manually with baskets or with amphibious excavators. Currently, the process is still ongoing.
Background Events
“It will take three days to clean all of it,” said M.Chusaeri, the Head of Implementing Officer at the North Jakarta Environment Office as quoted by Antara, on Thursday, July 13, 2023. Meaning, the cleaning activity is projected to be done tomorrow, Friday, July 14, 2023.
According to Chusaeri, the three-day estimation is necessitated by the length of the trash pile reaching 2km to 3km, stretched from Kaliadem to Ecomarine Tourism Mangrove Muara Angke. The trash pile came from 12 different river flows in Jakarta which disembogue in the sea. “It all came from the sea. The residents do not throw their trash in the sea since there are garbage disposal sites already,” said Chusaeri.
Sources
Chusaeri hoped that Jakartans could reduce their plastic usage since the trash pile was dominated by plastic waste at around 60% to 80%. After being lifted, the trash pile is carried to Bantar Gebang Landfill, Bekasi, West Java. “We have prepared six small tipper trucks, one big tipper truck, and two pickups. But we used three big tipper trucks today,” said Chusaeri.

Headline: Bitcoin breaks $40,000 as momentum builds
Date: December 4, 2023
Newsworthy Events
EAST SHORE, Calif. — Earthquakes have rattled a large area of Northern California this SINGAPORE, Dec 4 (Reuters) – Bitcoin has broken above $40,000 for the first time this year as it rides a wave of momentum on broad enthusiasm about U.S. interest rate cuts and as traders anticipate the imminent approval of U.S.-stockmarket traded bitcoin funds.
Background Events
The world’s biggest cryptocurrency hit $41,522 on Monday, its highest since April 2022 and has seemed to cast off the funk that had settled over crypto markets since the collapse of FTX and other crypto-business failures in 2022.
A 50% rally since mid-October has “seemed to mark a decisive shift away from the bearishness of 2022 and early 2023,” said Justin d’Anethan – head of business development for Asia-Pacific at Keyrock, a digital assets market making firm.
He said evidence of institutional buying through November showed a new leg of interest and that although reversals ahead are not inconceivable, lows hit around $16,000 a year ago “probably marked the bottom”.
Bitcoin-investor Microstrategy (MSTR.O) last week disclosed it bought an additional $593 million in bitcoin during November.
Meanwhile, riskier investments and other interest-rate sensitive assets, such as gold, have also rallied hard over the last few weeks as markets wager that the U.S. Federal Reserve has finished hiking rates and will start cutting early in 2023.
Sources
Reports in October that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission won’t appeal a court ruling that found the agency had been wrong to reject an exchange-traded fund application have also driven bets that an eventual approval is nigh.
A spot bitcoin ETF could allow previously wary investors access to crypto via the stock market, ushering a new wave of capital into the sector.
Ether , the coin linked to the Ethereum blockchain network, also made a 1-1/2 year high on Monday, hitting $2,253.
Both bitcoin and ether remain well below their 2021 record highs that were above $60,000 and $4,000 respectively.
