Education has an important role in shaping the character of the young generation of Indonesia to care about environmental sustainability. Therefore, the holding of this event is quite possible for students to increase awareness and concern for the school environment. This is a manifestation of the attitude of practicing the second principle of Pancasila. As students of Pancasila as well as the successors of the future of the Indonesian nation, concern for the environment is very important to improve the culture of sustainable living.
"This fashion show event is certainly very interesting and exciting to follow, because this event is appearing for the first time and is held specially," said Vera Sintyawati Siregar, a student of class XI MIA 3, as the organizing committee and treasurer of OSIS SMA Negeri 1 Paranginan.
"This fashion show competition has an important message about recycling culture. In addition to helping restore environmental cleanliness, the waste can also be processed into unique fashion creations," she added.
According to Vera, this 3R fashion exhibition event is very helpful in reducing land pollution due to waste and can improve environmental cleanliness. In addition, students can hone their skills and creativity, and can develop students' mindsets.
As a Pancasila student, we must emphasize the importance of mutual cooperation, social justice, and environmental protection. To implement these practical values, creative and innovative strategies are needed. Therefore, this activity has actually become a real example of the implementation of these practical values of Pancasila.
Catwalk 3R is a fashion exhibition concept that uses the 3R principle, reduce, reuse, and recycle. By holding this event, students are also invited to improve their skills and creativity by designing and producing clothing and accessories using recycled materials such as used goods or plastic waste.
The process of making this clothing not only teaches students about the culture of sustainable living, but also provides an understanding of the importance of collaborating, exchanging ideas, and working together in a team. This is an implementation of the third principle of Pancasila which is in line with the spirit of mutual cooperation of Pancasila students.
"In my opinion, making the clothes is quite complicated and the sketches of the clothes are a bit difficult. "Because it has to really fit the model's body," said Septian Siburian, a student of class XI IIS 2, who participated in making the clothes representing his class.
Septian admitted that the process of making costumes or clothes can improve teamwork. In addition, making clothes and accessories can train students' accuracy and independence.
Students usually use used sacks to make the inner layer of dresses and vests. While for the outer part of the dress and vest, used plastic or used newspapers with similar and matching colors are used. A little bit of iron wire in the form of a circle is added which is tied with a plastic rope to form the frame of the dress. Meanwhile, students also use leftover snack wrappers such as bread or chips and plastic cups for packaged drinks to be used as accessories to complete the clothes.
