There are 275 million tonnes of plastic waste produced worldwide based on data compiled by Jenna R. Jambeck of the University of Georgia in 2010, and about 4.8-12.7 million tonnes of them were wasted and polluted the sea. As a coastal population of 187.2 million, each year Indonesia is producing an astonishing amount of plastic waste. It is an irony when Indonesia becomes one of the fourth largest waste-producing countries in the world. This problem motivated us to provide community service about a minimal waste lifestyle and invite young people in Yogyakarta to change their mindset towards plastic waste. The method of community service is carried out by holding a mini workshop with the theme of minimal Waste Lifestyle, to provide a change in mindset for the people involved, so that they can adopt a lifestyle of minimal waste. The results of this community service shows that to implement a minimal waste lifestyle, continuous education is needed so that people can adopt this lifestyle starting from themselves and reusing existing waste.
