After their visiting, they had also a meeting by giving the feedback what they could see and got from the landfill. In the meeting, they raised up the problems related with the rubbishes that polluted the environment rapidly. Not only destroyed the environment but also demage the beauty of the city. Noticeable, why lots of exclusive contructions, buildings, houses were constructed around the landfill where people can smell badly. Moreover, they also found a key term to settle with this problems by encourage the media to broadcast people to understand what was being polluted. These could be a sign to alert the government to take more steps to controll this landfill by: write a note to let people know about the important of the environment, cause and effect of it in this area as the other places.
