Plants, individuals, creatures and nature are association.

Plants require a decent domain for

developing, creatures need plants to eat, and human need everything to survive. Everything went
as regular until the human who devastating it. Nobody of living things on the earth who can
crushing it with the exception of the human.

Globalization might as of now be well known to you . Globalization can quicken the rate of
economy anyplace. Innovation created throughout the years turn into an apparatus that can without
much of a stretch human works. Indeed, even to bolster it numerous new advances are conceived
for instance a PC. Lamentably, the velocity of current mechanical change not took after by
ensuring consciousness of encompassing environment. Monstrous oil penetrating brought on by
the human vehicle is expanding alongside expanding human populaces from year to year. At long
last, the waste delivered from the vehicles, get to be one of the fundamental variables dirtied air
around us. A ton of natural harm that we regularly listen, for instance, a worldwide temperature
alteration ,corrosive downpour, nursery impact, ecological contamination et cetera.

Reusing is an approach to individuals for the rubbish issues. Consistently Indonesia produces no
less than million ton trash. The trash is sent to landfills, where a large portion of them dirty the
area and air. As an aftereffect of reusing, rubbish that would have been discarded are reused
rather in new items.

There are numerous things that can be reused including natural and inorganic trash. A few
specialties can be produced using inorganic refuse, for example, glass, containers, paper,
magazines, and plastics. Inorganic rubbish likewise can be useful for individuals. Fertilizing the
soil is a decent case in reusing. It includes sparing certain nourishment squanders and blending
them with leaves and grass. This procedure will make a supplement rich blend that can be
helpful for planting. Indeed, even water additionally can be reused. It must be decontaminated
and cleaned at a waste-water treatment plant before it is reused.

There two sorts of reusing. They are inner and outside. A case of inward reusing is the reusing of
waste items from assembling inside of the same processing plant. For instance, when copper
tubing is being made, the finishes of tubes are trimmed. These copper closures will be dissolved
down and used to make new tubing.

In outside reusing, individuals can gather recyclable materials. Recyclables will be conveyed to
reusing offices, where it will be cleaned, sorted, and arranged to be sold. At that point the
businesses purchase the material and use it to make new items.

The legislatures and gathering of individuals that attempt to ensure the earth must urge
individuals to reuse. They need to give a recognition that reusing is critical for their life. It can
decreases contamination of air, land, and water. In this way, individuals will acknowledge and
attempt to reuse the discarded materials.the thrown away materials.

9.5 Meter Whale Carcasses Stranded in

Wakatobi

The process of removing waste from the stomach of a sperm whale.

TRIBUNNEWS.COM, KENDARI - A 9.5 meter long whale was found decomposing after
being stranded in the waters of Kapota Village, South Wangiwangi District (Wangsel), Wakatobi
Regency, Southeast Sulawesi (Southeast Sulawesi), Monday (11/19/2018).

The Sperm Wale type of whale had shocked residents because of the pungent smell. Saleh
Hanan, from the Wakatobi Foundation said, the possibility of the pope died a few days ago.
"Weighing is not measurable, seeing the condition that was destroyed for about two weeks the
whale died," Saleh Hanan said contacted on Monday.

Continue Saleh, a number of students from the Academy of Fisheries and Marine Community of
Wakatobi had taken plastic samples from the stomachs of the giant mammals to study.

Because, there is a lot of garbage that the whale has eaten.

"In the whale's stomach, bottles, gallon covers, sandals, bottles of perfume, instant noodles, drink
cups, raffia straps, tarpaulin sacks, plastic bags, etc.," he explained.

Because the whale is dead, what is done now is to take coordinates, measure the length.

Because the intestines began to break down, the team took the garbage from the whale's stomach
as a study material for the cause of death.

Saleh said, with the case of dead whales stranded and the discovery of garbage in his stomach, it
could be scientifically explained that there was disorientation of whale navigation.

As a result, whales are not able to distinguish food and non-food, or their habitat has been
polluted by garbage.

Meanwhile, Kartika Sumalong from WWF, MPA and Biodiversity Officer said, the whale will
be buried on Tuesday (11/20/2018) morning.

The bones were used as specimens at the Wakatobi Marine and Fisheries Community Academy.

"Now the process of sorting out the type of garbage obtained in the stomach. The wet weight of
5.9 kilograms of plastic waste, what causes the death can not be ascertained, because it was
found that the community was also dead and the stomach had been broken down, "he said.

Ciliwung River Overflows, Kampung Melayu

Is Soaked in 1 Meter Flood
 Floods soak Kampung
Melayu, East Jakarta. (Ibnu / detikcom)
Jakarta - Floods as high as 90-120 cm soaked residents' settlements in Kampung Melayu, East
Jakarta. The flood occurred due to overflowing water from Ciliwung River.

AFP monitoring , at around 09.30 WIB, the flood was still submerging RW 04 and 05 Kebon
Pala II, Kampung Melayu, Monday (5/21/2018). You can see brown water mixed with rubbish
soaking every house.

Seen from the numbers found on the electricity pole, the water level reaches 90 cm high.
Whereas on another electricity pole, the surface of the water is higher in the position of 120 cm.

Some houses have also receded. Residents began cleaning up the rest of the flood.

One resident of RW 04, Unus (50), said the flood began to rise to the residents' neighborhood at
around 03.00 WIB. Residents claimed that they had difficulty doing activities due to the flood.

"Yes, it is disturbed, there are many people here who trade because the problem is sure," said
Unus at the location of the flood.

He added that the water level had reached 1.75 meters. But now the water has gradually receded.
"If it is near the bank, it is 1.75 meters, now it has 90 cm left," he explained.

Another resident, Feri, said that this was the second time RW 04 and RW 05 had been
submerged in floods after it happened on Sunday (20/5) yesterday. However, no residents were
displaced by the flood.

"No one has evacuated (residents), it's already normal, this is already the second time, yesterday
was flooded, but not like this, at most a meter yesterday," he explained.

illegal logging can harm the surrounding

To find the maximum income, people often cut trees in large numbers without permission. Even
though they already knew the importance of trees in the forest. Forest is the lungs of the world,
why is it said the lungs of the world?
Because in the forest there are many trees that produce oxygen gas besides the forest also
functions to absorb water which is then processed into springs and water reserves for the survival
of the life of the flora and fauna that live in the forest.
But many people are greedy and selfish, they don't care how important forests are for human and
animal life. Because of the greed and selfishness of humans who cut trees wildly in the forest to
meet economic needs and not think of problems that will arise later. Maybe at first they were
happy because cutting down trees in the forest was then sold and they got money, they would
live in prosperity, but look what happened! if trees in the forest are always cut without:
1. Reforestation
Reforestation is the replanting of forests that have been deforested or barren, the act of
reforestation is to plant forests that are deforested due to being cut down or due to natural
disasters. The aim of this reforestation is to improve the quality of life of living things, especially
humans through the quality of increasing natural resources. With the return of forest functions, it
can avoid the environment from air pollution, return to ecosystems and reforestation can
overcome global warming. By reforesting we can get many benefits, including the following:
a. To preserve natural resources (natural resources)
Elements of a real biophysical environment and that have the potential to meet human needs,
with a view to maintaining their survival. Then the act of exploitation must be accompanied by
regulations on the use and preservation of (Natural Resources).
b. To reduce environmental pollution
Environmental pollution, especially air pollution due to motor vehicle and industrial smoke
pollution must be a serious concern at this time, with the increasing use of motorized vehicles
and industrial activities such as factories and mining, which has disturbed living ecosystems,
therefore we must carry out activities reforestation, better known as Go Green. By reforestation
we can prevent or overcome global warming.
c. To preserve forests and prevent floods, landslides and other natural disasters.
d. To increase natural resources (natural resources) and preserve them, and many other benefits.
Thus the discussion about the definition or definition of reforestation, hopefully this article can
provide benefits ...
2. Select cutting
selective logging means cutting down the best quality wood in an area of the forest. Trees whose
growth is stalled, slow, or in an irregular shape will maintain ecological conditions in the forest
area left by loggers, especially if it is estimated that the trees experience slow growth due to
competition. Selective logging also provides an opportunity for forest areas to retain certain tree
species.
. Benefits of Implementing the Select Cutting System
a. Protection against growth and regeneration time (planting).
b. Vertical canopy closure occurs.
c. Protection from pests and diseases.
d. Protection against fire hazards.
e. Aesthetically better.
f. Regeneration of plant species.
g. Can preserve plants.
h. Ensuring the sustainability of production in a small area.
3. neo-humanism approach
Through this neo-humanism approach, it is also necessary to establish a forest-caring group in
the community whose task is to monitor the condition of the surrounding forests and to preserve
forests, then transmit the knowledge that has been obtained from various forest managerial
trainings to the surrounding communities, so that later there will be a sense of belonging to the
existence of the forest.
4. a program to increase the role of the community
then there needs to be a program to increase the role of the community in natural resource
management and forest conservation. The aim of this program is to enhance the role and concern
of interested parties in natural resource management and environmental preservation. In an effort
to empower local communities, training must be carried out and facilitated to improve
environmental awareness among the community, such as training in controlling forest damage
for the community and environmental training for leaders in the community so that later it can
bring people who are aware of their environment.
5. innovating work skills training in the community
In addition, there is a need to innovate free and routine work skills training in the community
from related parties, such as the Manpower Office, etc. so that the community does not only
depend on forest products, but can develop its skills in the environment.
6. Community approach
Local residents usually depend on logging forests in the rainforest for fuel wood and building
materials. In the past, such practices usually did not damage the ecosystem too much. However,
nowadays areas with large human populations, the steep increase in the number of people who
cut trees in a rainforest area can be very destructive. For example, some areas in the forests
around refugee camps in Central Africa (Rwanda and Congo) have really lost all of their trees.
Therefore, there is a need for guidance and counseling to the local population about the
importance of the existence of forests for the lives of all people.
If this is allowed to continue - there is no one absorbs rainwater and rainwater puddles, so the
water will go down to the river. If the water is in large volume, then the river cannot hold the
excessively excessive water so that the water will overflow to low areas which will cause
flooding to occur other than that, the result of illegal logging will make the land easily avalanche
due to the forest - the logged forest cannot absorb rainwater anymore. When it rains heavily the
water will no longer be able to root the trees and the soil. As a result, the water flow will drag the
ground to find the lowest place (according to the nature of the water flowing from a high place to
a low place). Thus the land is easily eroded and eventually landslides. This will be a disaster for
the population and will bring more victims. In the end, this will have a serious impact on the
economic condition of the community. Not only that, because of illegal logging of the animals in
it will be disrupted and as a result, some species of animals will experience extinction because
their ability to breed is also subject to interference and they cannot find food and have no place
to take refuge.
When, floods or landslides come, those who will bear the risk are humans themselves. It is not
only humans who cut down trees illegally who feel the impact, but humans who do not know
anything about illegal logging also feel the impact.

Pollution in Jakarta Bay Dominated by

Domestic Waste
Jakarta (Greeners) - Major pollution in the Jakarta Bay region is mostly sourced from domestic
domestic waste. In fact, from the distribution of the locations that were taken as research
sampling locations by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), only a few regions
with Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) levels were below the quality standard.

The Director of Coastal and Marine Pollution and Damage Control, the Ministry of
Environment's Directorate General of Pollution and Damage Control, Heru Waluyo, when met
by Greeners in his office said that the Jakarta bay area was the final location for various types of
waste distribution coming from upstream 13 rivers in Jakarta. Therefore, the highest level of
pollution accumulates in the downstream which connects directly to the sea.

Heru explained that the source of pollution was divided into two. First, Point Sources whose
industrial sources are fixed and second, Non Point Sources (household domestic waste) whose
sources can come from anywhere. For these non-point sources , Heru admitted that it was very
difficult to detect it because non-point sources were scattered in many settlements and other
households.

"So point sources are waste from fixed or one point sources such as industry. If the non point
sources are scattered such as settlements, livestock, and others, this is difficult for us to
determine. Well this also accumulates from the upstream of the river which continues to be
carried downstream to eventually pollute the sea. That causes high sea pollution in Jakarta,
"Heru said, Jakarta, Tuesday (03/15).

Pollution and Environmental Damage Control, Heru Waluyo. Photo: greeners.co/Danny Kosasih

Pollution sourced from the point sources itself is divided in two, pollution from organic waste is
52,862.75 tons and inorganic waste is 24,446.06 tons. Whereas non point sources waste, for
organic is 10,875,651.69 tons and inorganic is 9,766,670.00 tons. This waste pile was calculated
in North Jakarta in November 2015.

"If you want to be compared with the same research at the same time but different locations,
compared to Semarang bay and Benoa bay, Jakarta bay is far more severe," he added.

To overcome this problem, the Executive Director of the Jakarta Forum for the Environment
(Walhi), Puput TD Putra suggested to the DKI Provincial Government to build a communal
Waste Water Treatment Plant (IPAL) at several settlement points in Jakarta.

The construction of the communal WWTP is intended to solve the problem of household waste
disposal, from human waste, laundry water, and used bath water. With the presence of communal
WWTPs, at least it can reduce the pollution burden sourced from domestic waste.

"We have emphasized to the Provincial Government and it turns out that they have already
carried out a mapping to build this communal WWTP. It's just that, this is a long-term job and
requires a long time, "explained Puput.
Regarding pollution at the Jakarta Bay itself, Head of the DKI Jakarta Regional Environmental
Management Agency (BPLHD), Junaedi, admitted that the Jakarta bay area had been heavily
polluted. Moreover, solid and liquid waste sourced from 13 rivers in Jakarta empties into the bay
of Jakarta.

"Yesterday we only did research related to dead fish. But if we say that Jakarta Bay is not
polluted, yes, it is not possible, right? Because solid and liquid waste when the rainy season must
be carried into the sea, "he said.

Polemic Policy Prohibiting the Use of Plastic

Bags

0 Komentar

JAKARTA - The policy to ban the use of plastic bags that will be applied by a number of
regional governments has drawn various rejections. This policy is considered burdensome to the
community and violates the rules of higher law, namely the Civil Code.

Public policy observer from Trisakti University Trubus Rahadiansyah said the government and
regional government were considered wrong because they prohibited plastic bags, PS-foam or
plastic straws, by reason of reducing plastic waste. Management of waste (plastic) management
should be improved. Especially at this time no one has been able to find a substitute for plastic
bags, as a means of carrying groceries.

"The ban on plastic bags is an instant policy that is not solution. The use of environmentally
friendly bags has not been explained to this day. "What is the replacement of cloth or of what,"
said Trubus.

According to him, the main obstacle is changing the behavior of the habit of using plastic bags in
the community. Primarily, for market traders, the government's responsibility is to provide
massive, consistent, and on-target understanding.

"Actually, public policy should provide a solution rather than impose a society. If the lower
middle class traders in the market if given heavy sanctions, fines of up to IDR 25 million would
be a question or not. Users of plastic bags are not a crime behavior that must be rewarded with a
fine of tens of millions of rupiah, "he asserted.

The imposition of fines for retail stores actually also violates the Civil Code, which has a higher
position than the local regulations. In the legal rules of buying and selling practices in Article
612 and Article 1320 of the Civil Code the obligation of modern or retail stores to serve their
buyers must be by delivering goods in full along with shopping bags because consumers have
paid for the goods along with their shopping bags.

On the other hand, according to him, the solution for traders must be concrete. For example,
market traders who depend on the use of plastic bags every day must be clearly a substitute for
plastic, this policy should not even give a new burden to the community. Similarly, the
Indonesian Retail Entrepreneurs Association (Aprindo) also stated its refusal to ban the use of
plastic bags to shop in several regions. Entrepreneurs reasoned that there was no rule from the
central government that demanded that each region prohibit.

"We do not agree with the prohibition on the use of plastic bags," said Aprindo Chairman Roy
Mandey.

He said there must be central government control in reducing plastic waste. The Ministry of
Environment and Forestry (KLHK) should issue a Ministerial Regulation (Permen) to harmonize
the attitude of the government. While what is happening at this time, the rules for prohibiting the
use of plastic bags in the regions are only based on the regulations of the Governor, Mayor, or
Regent. As a result, consumers become confused about the regulations. A number of regions that
have implemented this policy include Banjarmasin and Balikpapan, as well as in the future
Bogor, Bandung and following the DKI Jakarta, which is planned to take effect in January 2019.

The stricter refusal came from the Green Indonesia Foundation, through its Director Asrul
Hoesein criticizing, according to him the local government was too premature to take a policy in
overcoming plastic waste, because to this day there has been no official research that states that
there are environmentally friendly plastic.
"There are no other alternatives for cheap and bulk bags besides conventional plastic bags," said
Asrul.

The global warming that is happening on the earth has now reached a serious stage. In this stage,
the existence of planet earth where all living things like humans, animals and plants have begun
to be threatened by life.

The earth we live in now also experiences very significant changes. The reason is none other
than humans who caused global warming. The United States space agency (NASA) conducted a
photo project that compared the condition of the earth past and present. The time difference
ranges between 5 and 100 years back.

From the following photos, you will know how much the effect of global warming on the earth
and the changes that occur. Reporting from Line Today, here are the photos of Pulsker!

Two Problems with Enforcement of Environmental Law in Indonesia

Deputy Chairperson of the Judicial Commission (KY) Sukma Violetta was a guest speaker at the Quo Vadis Public Dialogue on
Enforcement of Environmental Law in Indonesia organized by the Indonesian Forum for the Environment (WALHI), Monday
(04/06) at Hotel Aone, Jakarta.

Jakarta (Judicial Commission) - Deputy Chairperson of the Judicial Commission (KY) Sukma
Violetta was a guest speaker in the Public Dialogue of Quo Vadis Enforcement of Environmental
Law in Indonesia organized by the Indonesian Forum for the Environment (WALHI), Monday
(04/06) at Hotel Aone, Jakarta.
Sukma explained, even though the Supreme Court (MA) had been quite intense in providing
training to judges related to the environment, but there were two problems in enforcing
environmental law in Indonesia.
First, the guidance of the Supreme Court to maintain the professionalism of judges who are still
lacking. Judges always hide at the independence of judges. Even though independence must be
given a grid, so there are clear limits.
"We misinterpret independence. Even though according to the international principle, the judge's
decision must be logical and appropriate or clearly basic. So, judges should not be arbitrary in
making decisions, "Sukma explained.
Second, continued Sukma, the integrity of the judge. Judges should not only be prosecuted in a
quality that is merely certification. KY receives many public reports each year, and provides
recommendations to the Supreme Court. In fact, there are more than 50 percent of
recommendations that have not been approved by the Supreme Court on the pretext of legal error.
Even though Sukma continued, KY found many misconduct errors, where the proceedings or
decisions were not in accordance with the Act.
"What is happening now is anomalies. In international law,
indeed judicial technical services should not be dealt with. But unprofessional conduct can be acted
upon. What is happening now, the Supreme Court has always rejected KY recommendations for
judicial technical reasons. We are further away to reach the problem of maintaining the
professionalism of judges, "Sukma explained.
Also present were other speakers consisting of KPK Commissioner Laode Syarif, Director General
of Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry Rasio Ridho Sani, and Prita
Laura as moderator.
On this occasion, Rasio Ridho Sani explained that in the trial of an environmental case, the judge
was more aware because there were many who monitored it, not as they used to.
"Therefore, recently we extended the MoU with KY, and were followed by other institutions. "The
hope is that many will supervise, then justice for environmental law can be upheld," concluded
Sani. (KY / Noer / Festy)
