| 1. daur ulang "to recycle" |
| Okay, the first phrase - daur ulang "to recycle". |
| Botol dan kaleng dari minuman bisa didaur ulang. "Bottles and cans from drinks can be recycled." |
| Funny thing is in Jakarta, we don’t do recycle as good as other countries in the world. It’s sad, but some people makes money from this so you can gather your own cups, bottle cups, plastic bottles or your cans and you can sell it and you can make small amount of money. But the one who buy it, they will also sell it to the bigger, bigger agent and they’re also making money from it. So yeah it’s not like… everyone is doing it because they want to, but sometimes just to get some extra money. |

| 4. pemakaian ulang "to reuse" |
| Okay next one - pemakaian ulang "to reuse". |

| 9. buang sampah "to throw garbage" |
| Buanglah sampah pada tempat yang sudah disediakan. "Please throw away the garbage at the provided place." |
