Aceh. Isniar, 42 tahun, adalah warga Dusun Jabi, Desa Lhok Timon, Aceh Jaya, yang turut menjadi korban bencana tsunami 2004. Salah satu cara pemilik kedai kopi ini untuk bangkit dari keterpurukan adalah memanfaatkan sampah plastik menjadi produk-produk yang berguna seperti hiasan rumah dan tas dari bungkus kopi.
Pengetahuan ibu empat anak ini tentang pemanfaatan sampah semakin bertambah setelah mengikuti pelatiahn yang diadakan ESP dan Oxfam awal Desember 2007 dan studi banding ke wilayah kerja ESP Jawa Barat di Bandung.
Melihat minat dan ketekunan yang luar biasa dari diri Ibu Isniar, dia terpilih menjadi fasilitator desa yang akan memfasilitasi desa-desa lain di Aceh Jaya untuk kegiatan persampahan. Di Dusun Jabi sendiri kegiatan membuat kerajinan dari sampah plastic rutin dilakukan setiap hari Minggu selama 4 jam.
Jadwal Isniar lumayan padat, Dia baru saja selesai membantu ibu-ibu PKK, peserta Sekolah Lapangan dan guru- guru di Kecamatan Lhoong Aceh Besar belajar mengolah sampah selama 2 hari. Selanjutnya, dia akan melatih ibu-ibu lain di Kecamatan Meurubo Aceh.
Sesibuk apa pun dia, Isniar tak pernah lelah dan bosan menyemanagti peserta pelatihan lainnya. “Ayo kita jadikan sampah penghasilan tambahan kita,” katanya.
