The calorie sticker installation program aligns with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) by promoting healthy lifestyles and preventing non-communicable diseases through increased physical activity, SDG 4 (Quality Education) by creating a healthy campus environment that enhances learning capacity and academic productivity, SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) by encouraging sustainable mobility and reducing energy consumption from elevator use, and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) by promoting efficient use of campus facilities. Through this strategic intervention, the YARSI University SDGs Center demonstrates its commitment to creating a healthy and sustainable campus environment while contributing to the achievement of sustainable development goals.

The implementation of this program is a collaboration between the Faculty of Economics and Business and the Faculty of Information Technology at YARSI University, which not only introduces technology but also empowers the community through training in organizational development, financial management, marketing strategies, and strengthening farmer groups to become more independent and competitive. The Team Leader, Hilma Suyana, emphasized that this digital transformation simultaneously helps protect the environment and supports Asta Cita 3rd in creating employment and promoting entrepreneurship at the village level.

The celebration began on April 22 with a variety of interactive campaigns:

• Green Action: a campus-wide visual campaign featuring a large Earth Day banner and a photo challenge on Instagram to spread awareness and engagement.
• EcoFrame: a social media initiative where participants used a themed twibbon and shared eco-friendly actions such as reducing plastic use, planting trees, or sorting waste.
• EarthStory: creative competitions in digital content and poster design, encouraging participants to voice environmental concerns through short videos and visual design.

The highlight of the series was the EcoBalance Webinar, held on Saturday, May 3, 2025, via Zoom. With the theme “Taking Care of Yourself, Taking Care of the Earth,” this webinar featured Dr. Muhammad Faisal, S.E., M.S.Ak, who delivered an insightful talk on how self-care aligns with environmental responsibility. He emphasized that sustainable living begins with daily actions that benefit both individual health and the planet—such as responsible consumption, managing waste, and maintaining physical and mental well-being.

This entire series of activities directly supported several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including:

1. SDG 3 – G
   ood Health and Well-being: Promoting self-care and mental health awareness as part of sustainable living practices.
2. SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production: Encouraging participants to adopt eco-conscious habits like reducing waste and consuming mindfully.
3. SDG 13 – Climate Action: Inspiring behavior changes that support environmental protection and climate change mitigation.
4. SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals: Showcasing collaboration between the SDGs Center, Peer SDGs, and the university community to spread sustainability education.

Participants gained practical knowledge, e-certificates, and the chance to win door prizes. Their enthusiasm was reflected through active involvement in discussions, creative submissions, and social media participation.

Through this initiative, the SDGs Center aims to cultivate a generation of changemakers who care for themselves and the Earth, working together to create a healthier and more sustainable future.

This activity is also in line with the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), focusing on several important points that contribute to the creation of positive social change.

1. Poverty Reduction (SDG 1):
   The event aims to improve the economic welfare of the surrounding community, especially those with low incomes, such as janitors and security guards in Cluster Nusantara. Through the development of herbal gardens and catfish farming, the local community can earn additional income by utilizing cultivated products that can be sold.
2. Creation of Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8):
   By utilizing unused fasum land for herbal gardens and catfish farming, the program not only creates new income opportunities, but also opens up opportunities for communities to acquire new skills in plant cultivation and nutritious product processing. It also encourages the creation of a more sustainable and inclusive local economy.
3. Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12):
   The utilization of environmentally friendly technologies, such as eco-enzymes and biopores, in the management of the herb garden, is part of the effort to support sustainable consumption and production. Communities are encouraged to produce and consume healthy and nutritious products that are not only beneficial for health, but also environmentally friendly.

In addition, this activity was also complemented by counseling on traditional herbal ingredients to improve health and immunity. YARSI University Master of Biomedical Science student, Neni Komariyah, provided knowledge to the community about the benefits of herbal medicine which has minimal side effects and serves to improve the function of body organs naturally.

Creating a Positive Impact for a Better Future
This activity not only provides economic benefits to the surrounding community, but also supports sustainable development through a science and technology-based approach. By involving students in this program, YARSI University plays an active role in educating the community while preparing the younger generation to be more concerned about sustainability issues.

Through this program, YARSI University hopes to make a real contribution to the achievement of SDGs, especially in poverty reduction, decent work creation, and responsible consumption and production. This activity is proof of the university’s commitment to creating a better, greener and more sustainable future for society.

The Jumantik program aimed to control mosquito populations and reduce the risk of dengue transmission, while the hydroponic farming initiative provided residents with the knowledge and tools to grow their own food sustainably. The reproductive health sessions were designed to educate participants on important health issues, contributing to long-term community well-being. The program successfully engaged the local community, with participants showing a strong interest in applying the knowledge gained to improve their daily lives.

Through this KKN project, YARSI University students effectively applied their academic skills to address real-world challenges, making a significant impact on the health and sustainability of the Sukapura community. This initiative underscores the university’s commitment to sustainable development and social responsibility, by fostering healthier environments, promoting sustainable practices, and empowering communities through education.
