"We implement it before we teach the community, we practice it first, okay," she said. She emphasized the importance of trying it out first before educating the public.

The way to create a Modern Teba is quite simple and can be done in the yard of your home. The process begins by digging the ground to create a hole for organic waste disposal.

Once the hole is completed, the top is sealed tightly to keep it safe and tidy. The cover is also equipped with a handle so it can be easily opened and closed when in use.

4. Adding Organic Waste and Allowing It to Decompose

After the Teba is prepared, Elly tries to directly add organic waste into the hole. The waste that has been added is then left to decompose naturally in the ground.

"Once it is added here, God willing, it can decompose from nature back to nature," she explained. This natural decomposition process is the essence of the concept promoted in Modern Teba.
