Environment, inevitably, always overshadow the human life.

We as human have a life from the

materials supplied by the surrounding environment. The environment is the first and primary source
of our life. Its presence in the earth cannot be ignored and should be maintained well.

The Functions of Environment

We take advantage of all the environment for the purpose of their life. When building a house, we
cut the trees to get wood as a foundation.

When hungry, we pluck the vegetables from the plant to be cooked. We take the water from well
and river for drinking, bathing, washing, and other needs. Thats just a bit of an example because
there are many other things that humans do to take the advantage of the environment. Other living
beings also use the environment for survival, such as animals that eat plants and other animals to
survive.

In addition to meet the life needs of primary, secondary, and tertiary, the environment has many
other roles. It directly stimulates people to think more critical in order for developing the functions
much more than before. Buildings, houses, temples, reservoirs, parks, and other objects are the
result of human creations when they decided to utilize the surrounding environment.

From the description, it is clear that living beings cannot be separated from its environment. Living
things and the environment affect and need each other. The loss of one of these elements will affect
the survival of inequality each other.

Managing the Environment

Well-managed environment will result in the prevention of environmental damage. Environment

with good management could potentially protect the ecosystem and prevent the exploitation. The
main principle of an environmental management is using something properly.

Environmental management can be done by managing natural resources. There are some efforts to
manage natural resources. Concerted effort was divided into several activities, namely:

utilization

control

supervision

recovery

development

These five things should be done properly so that the environment can be maintained continuity.
Environmental sustainability is a main point of human welfare that from day to day has increased
the demand. Furthermore, the management must also be accompanied by a human consciousness
to preserve the natural resources available in the vicinity.
