Di sini Anda boleh berbagi aspirasi, inspirasi dan pemikiran Anda mengenai apapun terutama Buku, Musik, Film, Penyelamatan Lingkungan, dan pencemaran.
saya tunggu lho....
Stop Global Warming! Help Us... Help You! Tadi pagi gw nonton Oprah di MetroTV. This is what Indonesia should watch and learn... jangan nonton sinetron mulu buuu!
DO YOU KNOW THAT .....
1. Ngga' menancapkan colokan listrik walopun ketika alat elektronik itu dimatikan = menghemat 40-50% biaya listrik yang harus anda bayarkan tiap bulannya.... Dan berarti pula, mengurangi panas yang timbul dari alat elektronik yang merembet ke pemanasan global.
2. Kantong plastik butuh waktu 1000 tahun untuk terurai di TPA(tempat pembuangan akhir). Sekitar 300 juta buah kantong plastik dibuang tiap tahunnya di Indonesia .
Belum lagi yang dibuang di sungai belakang rumah dan tempat2 yang tidak semestinya.
Dan 10kg kertas koran yang siap di jual loakan... itu membutuhkan 1 pohon yang butuh waktu 10 taon untuk jadi besar. Bayangkan yang terjadi dengan ilegal logging... how many trees has been cutdown for you? Imagine how they make the world hotter?
3. Ketika kamu membeli 1 liter air mineral di supermarket = beli 5 liter air. Tanya kenapa?
Karena di pabrik, untuk mendinginkan botol plastik panas yang baru dicetak, membutuhkan 5 liter air... cck cck cck...
Kode botol apa yang aman digunakan sebagai botol air? Lihat tanda dibawah botol, cari nomor 2,3 atau 4.... selain nomor2 itu... they're not safe, karena sama aja kamu makan plastik!!!!
4. Tisue yang uda di pakai itu ngga bisa di recycle... begitu juga karton2 yang bekas kena minyak, makanan, kue, minuman... They're only a waste... yang mau ngga mau tanahlah yang harus merecycle.
Perkiraan orang memakai tisue 6 biji sehari. 2.200 biji setaun. Berarti kira2 44 MILIAR biji seluruh Indonesia setaun... Kalau kita menghemat 1 lembar ajah tiap hari... berarti kita mengurangi sampah kertas sebanyak 7 MILIIAR biji setaon... HEBAT KAN ?
5. Be Green on ATM? Kalo di BCA kan ada yang ambil duit ngga pake receipt... atau be smart dong... Transfer lewat Internet banking ato mobile banking.... 8 MILIAR kali transaksi di ATM yang mengeluarkan kertas receipt tiap taun adalah salah satu sumber sampah terbesar di dunia.
Kalau selama setaon orang transaksi ngga pake kertas receipt, itu akan menghemat satu roll besar kertas yang bisa buat melingkari garis equator sampe 15 kali... ccck ccck
6. Minimal punya 2 macam tempat sampah dirumah, membantu mengurangi polusi air, udara dan tanah.
Pisahkan sampah basah (sisa makanan dan masakan, daun, minuman) dan sampah kering ( botol, plastik, kertas, kaca)
Lebih baik lagi untuk memisahkan sampah menurut 4 kelas : Plastik ( pembungkus makanan, kantong kresek, kantong belanjaan) Rumah tangga ( tulang ayam, sisa capcay, makanan basi) Kertas (Pembungkus gorengan, popok bayi, tisue yang sudah dipakai) Buku bekas catatan, kertas2 tagihan, koran, kertas iklan... disendirikan untuk dijual Logam (kaleng susu, kaleng makanan) dan kaca.
Hanya butuh waktu 2 bulan untuk menjadikan sampah rumah tangga menjadi kompos yang bisa dipakai lagi untuk pupuk tanaman...
7. Polar Bear / Beruang kutub ngga bisa berenang... tapi karena global warming di Kutub Utara, mereka harus berenang 30km untuk mencari es tempat berteduh.
Watch DISCOVERY CHANNEL : PLANET EARTH... pasti nangis deh ngeliat perjuangan seekor beruang kutub yang akhirnya mati karena kelelahan mencari daratan.
Is that the world you will leave for your children?
And there are so much more knowledge I've received from Oprah's episode this morning, tapi ngga sempet gw rangkum semua... baca aja ke www.oprah.com Yang penting be smart for the sake of ourselves! Save the world, save our lifes, save our children!
