In this activity, Dian became the head executive. He explained that in this activity, students could not completely prohibit the community from doing MCK activities in river, but by applying the use of Super Maling product, the river contamination could be reduced slightly because it was made from natural materials and also environmentally friendly.
“In addition, Supir Maling as an alternative for hand washing soap is expected to increase the productivity and economic income of PKK Alas Malang,” explained Dian.
