Voicing Environmental Issues, Puteri Indonesia 2025 Firsta Yufi Says Young People Are Not Heirs but Movers

Firsta feels honored to sit down with experts to voice the aspirations of her generation. According to her, the theme raised is very relevant to the current conditions, where young people are the most affected by climate change.

"If we look at today's theme, it is very relevant. We, young Indonesians, some say that young people today are not heirs, we are the movers," said Firsta Yufi.

She added, "Because it is the young people who are affected by climate change, and we young people are capable of addressing it. I believe we can start from simple things, learning, sharing."

As part of the Puteri Indonesia Foundation, Firsta expressed their commitment to continue upholding global issues. 

One concrete example is the outfit worn by her colleague at the international event in Japan, made from recycled materials to showcase the beauty of Indonesia's nature. "We from Puteri Indonesia are already accustomed to using recycled materials," she asserted.

For Firsta, the spirit of the Green Generation is not about waiting for instructions. On the contrary, she invites all young people to proactively become agents of change themselves. "The essence is actually that when we talk about the green generation, we do not wait for change to happen. Instead, we become part of that change," she concluded.

The spirit voiced by Firsta aligns with the grand vision promoted by the TBS Foundation. According to the Chairwoman, Juli Oktarina, empowering the younger generation must start from the grassroots level, namely through the education system.

"Education is the main foundation in building sustainable leadership. Through initiatives such as teacher training, vocational schools, and skill enhancement for vocational high schools, the TBS Foundation emphasizes that education is the first step in creating a Green Generation," said Juli Oktarina.
