This 12-year-old Girl Became Famous After Writing a Letter to Scold the Australian Prime Minister, Foreign Media Splashy

News24xx.com - This 12-year-old girl from Gresik, East Java, is in international media upheaval after she wrote a letter to the Prime Minister of Australia.

Aeshnina Azzahra wrote an open letter submitted to the Australian Embassy to Indonesia in Jakarta on Tuesday (21 January 2020) night.

In the letter, the 12-year-old girl highlighted the ecological and health effects of waste from other countries to Indonesia.

Reported by ABC, Aeshnina Azzahra also explained the direct impact of the plastic waste in her village in Gresik.

"I was very sad when I found out that my city is a landfill of plastic waste from developed countries," said the girl who is familiarly called Nina.

Nina said the rubbish he collected had brands originating from Canada, Australia, the US, Britain, and other developed countries.

To Morrison, Nina requested that he be able to stop sending waste that could not be recycled to Indonesia.

"Stop sending a mixture of plastic and paper waste to East Java and Indonesia. Please withdraw from Indonesia," she wrote.

Most developed countries are reported to export waste, whether recycled or not, to developing countries which then carry out the dangerous task of destroying it.

China had previously received these emissions from rich countries.

However, since July 2017, Beijing has issued an export ban.

Therefore, the land of "Kangaroo" or other developed countries divert their waste to Southeast Asian countries, such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

In 2018, Australia sent 52,000 exports to East Java, an increase of up to 250 percent compared to exports four years earlier.

Nina said, when she was in a landfill, she saw the most common rubbish from Australia after the US.

"Why do you always send rubbish to my country? Why don't you manage it yourself?" Nina complained in her letter.

In response, the Australian PM Office stated that it would ban the export of plastic, glass and glass waste in July.
