Environment and conservation

Environment and conservation – What is the environment? A fundamental question must be answered before you proceed further about environmental conservation. Environment is a living space that comprises several components that interact with each other in balance. The process of interaction is caused by the different functions of each of each individual living beings and strive to preserve and defend the existence and function. Components contained in the spheres of life are:

1. The physical environment (inorganic), an environment that consists of cosmic forces and fisigeografis: earth, air, water, radisai, gravity, waves and so on.

2. Environmental biology (organic), everything that is biotic

3. Social environment, consisting of:

• Fisiososial, ie covering the material culture: tools, weapons, machinery, buildings and so on

• Biososial man, not man, the man and his neighbor and the interaction of domestic animals and plants and all the materials used by humans are derived from organic sources.

• Psychosocial, which is associated with the inner nature of man, such as attitudes, views, desires, beliefs. This can be seen from the customs, religion, ideology, language and others.

4. Composite environment, which is regulated institutional environment, in the form of public institutions

With the above understanding of the environment, the environmental protection is the preservation of the components of the environment and its inherent functions and interactions that occur between these components. The discrepancies between the components and utilization functions in development, the preservation is not understood as a restricted use. However, conservation should be understood as the utilization of the notice function of each component and interactions between components of the environment and in the end, it is hoped will provide environmental protection guarantees the existence of the individual components of the environment. With the guarantee of existence, a sustainable environment can be realized.

Environmental protection that have been made by many parties during this show a lot of success and not a few who experience barriers in achieving the objectives to be achieved in each aspect. Such efforts are more visible as a stand-alone movements in each location, and environmental aspects of the case at hand. In addition, conservation efforts that have been implemented less perceived benefits / usefulness both in the medium and long term.

Likewise, the preservation of the environment that has been done by the Student Nature Lovers over the years, more emphasis on the call to do something better or banned for doing something that is considered harmful to the environment. Appeal after appeal had been shouted and repeated each year by the Nature Lover and others. However, it should be recognized there are still many deficiencies that resulted in no realization of the objectives to be achieved, namely the form of conservation efforts undertaken are still sporadic and not integrated with other parts. This is the weak point of call is echoed by Lovers of Nature, or in other words no more effort than simply a moral movement.

Therefore, in the future so that preservation of the environment are encouraged to change the moral movement into a social movement. Social movements in environmental conservation is defined as a series of conservation efforts that emphasize the social order and orderly implementation with a view to realizing the existence of environmental components and their interactions. Emphasizes social order in compliance perpetrators of environmental protection guidelines existing social, developed and recognized by the local community as well as proven capable of maintaining environmental functions.

Orderly implementation of the stresses on the basis of ideal rights used in environmental protection, that every effort is based on reasons that are scientifically recognized truth. Therefore become an important part of research activity in the circuit implementation of environmental preservation. On the basis of research results, stages of environmental protection in accordance with (different) conditions for each environmental component. Thus, both failure and success of the conservation of the environment can be evaluated for the sake of the future.

Environmental Pollution

The essence of environmental issues is the relationship of living things, especially humans with their environment. Studies on the interrelationships of living things with their environment is called ecology.

The environment is a system which is a unity with all things space, power, state and living creatures, including man with his behavior, which affects the continuity fairy life and human welfare as well as other living creatures.

From the above definition imply that living creatures, especially the ones who always take advantage of their environment, both in terms of respiration, fulfilling the needs of food, shelter and others. And, man as the most superior creature in the ecosystem, has the power to utilize and consume a variety of natural resources for their livelihoods.

In nature there are a variety of natural resources. which is a component of the environment that are different, which can be classified on:

– Natural resources that can be updated (renewable natural resources)
– Natural resources that can not be updated (non-renewable natural resources).

Various natural resources that have diverse characteristics and behaviors that are mutually interacting in different forms as well. In accordance with the interests of natural resources can be divided up;

(A). fisiokimia such as water, air, soil, and so forth,
(B). biology, such as fauna, flora, habitats, and so on, and
(C). socioeconomic such as income, health, customs, religions, and others.

The interaction of the elements belonging to environment ie between biological and non-biological cycle will determine the viability of ecosystems, the therein found the movement of energy and nutrient (material) in a system that indicates the habitat, the process of adaptation and evolution.

In manipulating their environment, then humans must be able to recognize the nature of the environment which is determined by various factors.

In connection with this statement, the nature of the environment are categorized on the basis of:

(1). The type and amount of each type of element of the environment, the
(2). relationship or interaction between elements in the environment,
(3). behavior or condition of environmental elements, and
(4). factors of non-material, such as light and noise.

Urban waste into Serious Problem in Indonesia

In discussing a variety of urban problems, particularly environmental problems that feels increasingly complex, complicated, and urgent to be resolved. All components need to continually seek to address the increasingly complex urban problems are. It is hoped the various parties, including government, community, business and experts to deliver fresh ideas that can be employed to resolve urban problems ranging from unemployment, poverty, pollution, garbage and others in Indonesia, particularly in addressing the environmental pollution caused by waste .

Overcoming such a complicated urban problems must still be viewed with optimism. Currently we are already aware that the choice of urban development that are less precise and not measurable from the environmentally friendly aspects. The existence of the concept of sustainable development, should Indonesia do not have to follow the pattern of developed countries. Even if not the first, Indonesia can apply the concept of sustainable urban development in intelligent, holistic, innovative and participatory.

Area of ​​urban waste problems caused by several interrelated parameters, namely population growth, economic growth, welfare, consumption patterns, security patterns and behavior of the population, the activity of city functions, density of population and buildings, as well as the complexity of transportation problems. All mentioned parameters are mutually interacting, giving rise to environmental pollution is very significant.

Structuring Management System.

In order policies, mainstreaming of sustainable development needs to be done in any development efforts such as natural resource exploitation and utilization of space-based ecological, massive campaigns on energy saving and renewable energy alternatives, and to encourage the establishment of infrastructure in urban environment, such as the sewerage system and landfill-based communal (by making use of waste as raw material production of advanced, such as organic fertilizer made from municipal solid waste).

While the level of implementation, the strategy taken is the development of settlement systems, both in the corridors of law enforcement and human rights and persuasive manner inclusive (incentive mechanism). Compliance with environmental norms in the framework of the rule of law to be comprehensive, with a consistent run UU.No.18 / 2008 on Waste Management which is based on the principles of the 3Rs (reduce-reuse-recycle), a simple guideline to assist communities in minimizing waste and implementation UU.No.32/2009 About Protection and Environmental Management, increased utilization of personnel (investigators), infrastructure and environmental enforcement law enforcement network development environment that works in synergy, get rid of ego sectoral especially in the handling of this waste, as well as on the district / city neighborhood can implement an integrated management of regional (interregional cooperation). Need more serious efforts and environmentally sound community-based.

Demands of life in urban areas has led to a fast-paced lifestyle and demanding the use of modern facilities such as electrical equipment and electronics as well as increased energy consumption that turned out to have a serious negative impact for the life of mankind. Efforts to realize clean land, clean water and clean water in urban areas needs to be done, because of poor environmental quality has led to serious consequences for human life.

Waste Handling Solutions in Urban.

1. Full socialization to the community will change the paradigm of governance garbage, if garbage from upstream (home / market), this is the most complicated among the barrage of garbage processing. The community must get used to sort their garbage. In addition to health problems is also very necessary to touch the spiritual and economic waste in addressing this problem.

2. The government should give subsidy to the public procurement case colored crackle trash bag (Yellow for inorganic, organic and green waste to the Red for toxic waste), or a minimum of 2 colors: Green and yellow and is organized into local regulations regarding the use of this system as well as sanctions weight if not implemented, instead of raising garbage fees.

3. Soon the government revised the regulations concerning waste management. As per our research in several districts / cities in Indonesia, almost no regulations concerning the waste refers to waste legislation and environmental management pro-people.

4. The government should involve the community in waste management (Communal Base in TPS with the pattern of core-Plasma), for example in the production of compost / organic-based waste. Waste management system with the enforcement of the function of TPS. This system involves the government, public and private, to establish waste treatment plant environmentally friendly city (IPSK-BL).

5. The government should immediately change the physical place of polling stations in each village / village, originally just a temporary shelter into a IPSK-NW formed associations and waste management which includes such elements. All this will run sustainable, because of the synergy in managing waste. Society will gain insight into the environment against global warming mitigation, creation of environmentally District / City are clean, also the creation of new jobs or new businesses in waste management.

Problems of environmental pollution caused mainly human behavior that does not manage waste and trash from its activities properly. Therefore, the movement of waste and convert waste into objects that can still be beneficial to humans and the environment is a noble task and appropriately valued as other community activities. Glorifying the work associated with the remaining items would be followed by a fair appreciation of persons involved in these activities.

Changes people’s behavior in keeping trash and waste generated really should start with an example and action. Control of waste movements must start from the centers of community activity areas such as education, offices, markets, and settlement. Everything will work properly only if government policies really geared for good public service and justice.

Let us united in tackling the city’s garbage problem. Stop Global Warming!
