Mungkin anda sering merasa heran, walaupun sedang hujan deras, kok udara terasa panas dan lembab, sehingga tidak nyaman saat melakukan aktivitas sehari-hari. Berada di dalam ruangan dengan pendingin buatan (air conditioner) memang terasa nyaman, namun ternyata dampaknya kurang baik untuk kesehatan tubuh kita, maupun kecantikan kulit. </i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Ada banyak komunitas yang bergerak di bidang green environment dengan berbagai aktivitas serta ciri khas kegiatan mereka. Di antara mereka ada yang peduli pada polusi udara, kebersihan sungai, pelestarian hutan, proyek daur ulang plastik, membersihkan pantai, dan kegiatan edukasi tentang pentingnya menjaga lingkungan hidup dan berbagai kegiatan lainnya.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgng22Lund9qrfk1Q5wUMxobNJGAnc6RSVxN5mcaq2V9hmUuhYWJOgkoMQj3LWQt5Bw2_A7vqrutsFB_18YZXcBUH8zDs-APoJPTwbLwgEkP1Ryk1JT7UZGnnsbbhO_nVmWOo58CIrZ8VQ/s2048/IMG_20210221_075913.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgng22Lund9qrfk1Q5wUMxobNJGAnc6RSVxN5mcaq2V9hmUuhYWJOgkoMQj3LWQt5Bw2_A7vqrutsFB_18YZXcBUH8zDs-APoJPTwbLwgEkP1Ryk1JT7UZGnnsbbhO_nVmWOo58CIrZ8VQ/s320/IMG_20210221_075913.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><b><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="color: #04ff00; font-family: arial;">Beberapa tanaman kecil ini bukan sekadar hiasan untuk mempercantik tangga, melainkan berkontribusi untuk menciptakan oksigen baru sepanjang hari. </span></i></b></div></b><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Anda pun bisa menjadi pemeran utama untuk membuat lingkungan hidup di sekitar kita lebih hijau, indah dan bahkan bisa memberi manfaat tepat guna untuk keluarga kita sendiri.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Global
warming has been the most popular and the most global problem recently
and various ways have been thought, planned and implemented to fight the
global warming and in the United Nation Conference For Climate Change in
Nusa Dua last week came up with a proposal to adopt Balinese Nyepi
(silent day) in which no activity is allowed for 24 hours, no working,
no traveling, absence from using electricity, engine and other
pollution-generate devices. This proposal seems quite tough to be
adopted by the fast-paced developed nation but Nyepi is not the only
kind of effort to fight global warming has to offer there are several
simpler efforts to preserve the environment and reducing the glass-house effect that has been practiced by Balinese for centuries. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Balinese have a special
ceremony to beg express gratitude to the vegetation and beg for their
prosperity to God so they can always provide their crops for
mankind. The ceremony is called Tumpek Wariga or Tumpek Pengatag. Plants
are seen as human relatives, as they are also part of God’s family. It
is people’s duty to protect plants; moreover Balinese believe that
prosperity and comfort will come around whenever the vegetation is
protected and conserved.</span><br />

big old trees which scattered all over the island due to the
socio-religious significant of those trees provide great help to Mother
Nature. The big old trees need tens or hundreds of years to grow to
reach that size, cutting those trees down is like closing a massive
oxygen factory which has been operating for more than a hundred years in
other words wasting the time and resource which are used by the tree to
grow to reach that size.</span><br />

are also a prohibition against cutting down trees during a week called
Taru, this week occur every six weeks based on Balinese traditional
calendar. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Balinese
believed that cutting down the trees on this auspicious week can bring
misfortune and sickness. Prohibition against cutting the trees down also
observed on Sunday and an auspicious day called Kajeng Kliwon which
occurs every fifteen days.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Di tengah keresahan warga dunia pada pemanasan global (global warming) dan perubahan iklim (climate change), ternyata pemimpin di Jakarta dan Surabaya punya aksi yang berbeda. Setelah Indonesia memasuki musim hujan dengan curah tinggi, apalagi setelah kedua kota ini mengalami banjir pada awal tahun 2020, mata warga di kedua kota ini bisa melihat perbedaan dengan perasaan yang tidak sama.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">MONAS bukan sekadar sebuah monumen yang dahulu kala dibangun oleh Presiden Sukarno untuk mengingatkan warga Jakarta dan tentu saja Indonesia, bahwa kota Jakarta adalah salah satu pusat perjuangan. Di dalam monumen ini terdapat diorama yang menggambarkan sejarah Nusantara sampai perjuangan Indonesia merdeka, bahkan ada rekaman pidato proklamasi serta teks pernyataan kemerdekaan RI.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Visi dan mata hati Bung Karno tidak berhenti pada membangun sebuah simbol atau sekadar mercu suar, melainkan ada tujuan yang kini disebut bagaimana cara mencegah pemanasan global (meskipun pada era 1960an istilah global warming belum muncul), namun banyak pohon yang ditanam di halaman MONAS. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hampir semua gubernur yang pernah memimpin Jakarta pernah melakukan "revitalisasi" untuk memperindah monumen kebanggaan warga Jakarta ini, yaitu dari menanam pohon sampai mempercantik dengan keindahan air mancur dengan musik, juga permainan tata cahaya.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jika Tri Rismaharini berjuang keras untuk membuat warganya merasa nyaman dengan menanam pohon-pohon rindang dengan bunga cantik, sementara itu Jakarta yang menjadi barometer Indonesia di segala bidang ini justru mengalami kesedihan mendalam karena sang gubernur tidak peka terhadap masalah dunia yang menghadapi masalah besar karena polusi udara, pemanasan global dan akibat fatal dari perubahan cuaca. Apakah ini ironi atau satire?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kenapa pohon-pohon tua di MONAS yang harus menunggu puluhan tahun untuk tumbuh rindang harus ditebang atas nama revitalisasi? Tanah di MONAS akan lebih banyak semen dan beton daripada tanah merah dan pohon yang bisa menyerap air di kala hujan deras. Padahal Anies Baswedan percaya bahwa air dari langit adalah akan turun ke bumi (tanah) bukan ke gorong-gorong atau ke laut?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Global warming has been the most popular and the most global problem recently and various ways have been thought, planed and implemented to fight the global warming and in the United Nation Conference For Climate Change in Nusa Dua last week came up with a proposal to adopt Balinese Nyepi (silent day) in which no activity is allowed for 24 hours, no working, no travelling, absence from using electricity, engine and other pollution-generate devices. This proposal seems quite tough to be adopted by the fast-paced developed nation but Nyepi is not the only kind of effort to fight global warming has to offer there are several simpler efforts to preserve the environment and reducing glass-house effect that have been practiced by Balinese for centuries. </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilRtdfbnUgAox0NbVaZ6U_jIbBIlV4rs8R63izzn9hPectksoJOBDfXRKikI7X_8bnJar0E7IKv5Ffatc95pYaPBrn42lmgCcL9fv1XYMdijZF_nD7j3_Kw6DL_6xDbOD5VJvbbTmuS_w/s1600-h/bunut_bolong_bali.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="bali, stop global warming, Bali stop global warming, go green, Balinese way to prevent global warming, " border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilRtdfbnUgAox0NbVaZ6U_jIbBIlV4rs8R63izzn9hPectksoJOBDfXRKikI7X_8bnJar0E7IKv5Ffatc95pYaPBrn42lmgCcL9fv1XYMdijZF_nD7j3_Kw6DL_6xDbOD5VJvbbTmuS_w/s400/bunut_bolong_bali.jpg" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414130401533139474" style="float: right; height: 300px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 400px;" title="Beautiful tree in Bali" /></span></a><br />

The ceremony is called Tumpek Wariga or Tumpek Pengatag. Plants are seen as human relatives, as they are also part of God’s family. It is people’s duty to protect plants; moreover Balinese believe that prosperity and comfort will come around whenever the vegetation is protected and conserved.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The prohibition on cutting the big old trees which scattered all over the island due to the socio-religious significant of those trees provides great help to Mother Nature. The big old trees need tens or hundreds of years to grow to reach that size, cutting those trees down is like closing a massive oxygen factory which has been operating for more than a hundred years in other words wasting the time and resource which are used by the tree to grow to reach that size.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Step 1</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dismantle the boxes and lay them flat so that they don't take up too much space. This way you will also be able to gauge how much cardboard material you have on hand for your recycling projects.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Step 2</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Plan your projects. Make sketches and estimate dimensions. Be ready with your craft knife or box cutter (scissors are often inadequate in cutting up thick cardboard), enough glue, art paper or other decorative items you want to include in your project.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Step 3</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recycle cardboard into an art frame.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Make an art frame. The flat, rigid surface of a cardboard panel makes it easy to work with as if it were a wood panel. Cut a piece to size to serve as the backboard. Stack strips and glue them together to create the frame borders. Wrap the borders by gluing craft paper for a natural look or art paper for different color effects. Attach a lightweight art piece to the middle of the frame, glue or tape a hanging wire on the back and hang the frame on the wall.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Step 4</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Make a trash bin. Design a customized and personalized trash bin that will coordinate with your décor. Cut cardboard panels and tape them together to form an open container of just the right shape and size. Decorate the outside by gluing craft paper, art paper, fabric or any other desired texture. Decorate with items such as dried botanicals, beads, sticks and shells.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Step 5</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Make a mini-shelf.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Make a mini-shelf. Because cardboard can be glued together to form relatively sturdy boards and panels, they can be cut and assembled into small shelving units. Cardboard shelves can hold lightweight containers of herbs, spices, condiments and teabags.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Step 6</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Make a divider for the sock drawer. Design the most ergonomic sectioning for your sock drawer and create the dividers by cutting and gluing cardboard sections together.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Step 7</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Make file organizers. You don't have to buy expensive desktop filing systems; make your own. Design the boxes with dividers to cater to your filing system, whether they're recipe cards, loose photos, bills, store coupons, documents or whatever you need to keep sorted and organized. Decorate the boxes with your favorite colors and designs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Step 8</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use your imagination to create various cardboard crafts and décor items for the home.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Subak </b>is one of the Balinese unique ancient traditions. In the conservationist's view, Bali's Subak as an iconic symbol of the life of the Island's people needs to elevated. From the Subak system the Balinese learn organizational skills, environmental preservation and study democratic processes.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To understand the cooperative Subak organization some general information about Balinese values and social organization is essential fist. The Balinese are a race united through cultural organizations, strengthened by shared customs, religion and language. Their culture also varies from one district to another in accordance with the three factors of place, time and situation.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The values system of Balinese is in accordance with the teaching of the Hindu religion, bound by the law of Karma and the philosophy called <b>Tri Hita Karana</b>. This law maintains that there are three elements in the quest for happiness and that there must be a balance between the three: Almighty Good, humanity and God’s creation-this world which is the habitat of mankind.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Subak has a certain laws or rules which regulate the mutual livelihoods of its members. These are based on the Tri Hita Karana philosophy outlined above. If anyone breaks these rules traditional and religious sanctions are invoked. The sanctions against anyone breaking the rules are intended to restore harmony between the material and spirit worlds. An offender can be made democratically by the majority.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Neighbouring ASEAN countries and China have rice fields that have become tourism objects. But the rice terraces of Bali, operated under the Subak, have proven their ability to attract foreign tourists from as far away as Zimbabwe who have travelled to the island to study and understand the Bali water distribution system. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In other to preserve and increase humanity’s well being, the Balinese try to maintain a balance between these three elements: being conscious that humanity is God’s creation and that the natural environment provides a living hood and is a blessing from God, mankind must conserve the environment and thank God for all the benefit of creation and the gift of wellbeing.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These beliefs form the basic of social interaction amongst the Balinese and encourage them to preserve and care for the whole ecological system. Belief in the law of Karma is another form of control so that people restrain themselves from doing evil and try to do good both as individuals and as member of their community.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These ideas and values have given birth to a way of behaving and customs which have been handed down from generation to generation in Bali. Consequently certain traditional organizations have emerged as social units such as the village (Desa), the neighbourhood (banjar) and the irrigation society (Subak).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Subak is an independent organization aimed to ensure that the distribution of water is made equitably. No farm must be given more or less than their fair share. The equal distribution of water is not done through modern equipment but can be arranged because of the spirit of solidarity and a high level of tolerance and mutual responsibility, despite there being only very simple means to share out the water. The spirit of cooperation (gotong royong) is clearly done in this traditional irrigation system.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Subak is one of the Balinese unique ancient traditions. In the conservationist's view, Bali's Subak as an iconic symbol of the life of the Island's people needs to elevated. From the Subak system the Balinese learn organizational skills, environmental preservation and study democratic processes.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To understand the cooperative Subak organization some general information about Balinese values and social organization is essential fist. The Balinese are a race united through cultural organizations, strengthened by shared customs, religion and language. Their culture also varies from one district to another in accordance with the three factors of place, time and situation.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The values system of Balinese is in accordance with the teaching of the Hindu religion, bound by the law of Karma and the philosophy called <em>Tri Hita Karana</em>. This law maintains that there are three elements in the quest for happiness and that there must be a balance between the three: Almighty Good, humanity and God’s creation-this world which is the habitat of mankind.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Subak has a certain laws or rules which regulate the mutual livelihoods of its members. These are based on the <em>Tri Hita Karana</em> philosophy outlined above. If anyone breaks these rules traditional and religious sanctions are invoked. The sanctions against anyone breaking the rules are intended to restore harmony between the material and spirit worlds. An offender can be made democratically by the majority.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Neighbouring ASEAN countries and China have rice fields that have become tourism objects. But the rice terraces of Bali, operated under the Subak, have proven their ability to attract foreign tourists from as far away as Zimbabwe who have travelled to the island to study and understand the Bali water distribution system.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In other to preserve and increase humanity’s well being, the Balinese try to maintain a balance between these three elements: being conscious that humanity is God’s creation and that the natural environment provides a living hood and is a blessing from God, mankind must conserve the environment and thank God for all the benefit of creation and the gift of wellbeing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These beliefs form the basic of social interaction amongst the Balinese and encourage them to preserve and care for the whole ecological system. Belief in the law of <em>Karma</em> is another form of control so that people restrain themselves from doing evil and try to do good both as individuals and as member of their community.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These ideas and values have given birth to a way of behaving and customs which have been handed down from generation to generation in Bali. Consequently certain traditional organizations have emerged as social units such as the village (Desa), the neighbourhood (<em>Banjar</em>) and the irrigation society (Subak).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Subak is an independent organization aimed to ensure that the distribution of water is made equitably. No farm must be given more or less than their fair share. The equal distribution of water is not done through modern equipment but can be arranged because of the spirit of solidarity and a high level of tolerance and mutual responsibility, despite there being only very simple means to share out the water. The spirit of cooperation (<em>gotong royong</em>) is clearly done in this traditional irrigation system.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The existence of the Subak, although it is a traditional form of organization, is and will remain relevant in Bali. This is because of the high degree of cooperation which exists amongst its members, and because all feel comfortable and fair.</span><br />

Mangrove forest conversion should be canceled; even mangrove forests should be
expanded. Mangroves will definitely keep people and ecosystems that exist
around the mangrove forest. Mangroves prevent coastal erosion and abrasion.</span><br />

much needed ongoing massive reforestation. Lots of forests logged massively
without immediate replanting (reboisasi). So, consequently mountainous regions

The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has set a national goal to recycle 25 <br />
percent of our national waste. Some plastics can be recycled through curbside <br />
recycling, grocery store drop bins or drop-off centers. A raised number (1 through 7) in a triangle on the bottom of most plastic containers tells you what type of plastic it is and if it can be recycled.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Instructions:</span><br />
<br />
1. <span style="font-style: italic;">Step 1</span><br />
Call your county's Department of Public Works or recycling center to determine what type of plastic to recycle and where to take it. Also call 1-800-CLEANUP for state recycling information.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWdxT3_zsr_Mzj_oHE3PEVEljdbBN1_YXjsD4wiFN5-xLgegUS0NklHIhvkQ5EDmwLzxfYHg9aDrSEUgWlu-Y942qoZSeV9p5Ya6xeAR1yV2jq7BQ-wSLU2szFNre4x7g8WPV2PCotgz0/s1600-h/recycle001.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340319848976749202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWdxT3_zsr_Mzj_oHE3PEVEljdbBN1_YXjsD4wiFN5-xLgegUS0NklHIhvkQ5EDmwLzxfYHg9aDrSEUgWlu-Y942qoZSeV9p5Ya6xeAR1yV2jq7BQ-wSLU2szFNre4x7g8WPV2PCotgz0/s200/recycle001.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 116px; margin: 0 10px 10px 0; width: 175px;" /></a><br />
2. <span style="font-style: italic;">Step 2</span><br />
Rinse and sort your plastic containers by number. Recyclable plastic often must be separated by number in order to avoid contamination as it begins the recycling process.<br />
<br />
3<span style="font-style: italic;">. Step 3</span><br />
Recycle type 1 (PETE) and type 2 (HDPE) plastic containers at your curb, according to local instructions. Type 1 and 2 containers include some plastic bags, detergent containers, and milk, soft drink, juice, cooking oil and water bottles.<br />

Drop off plastic grocery bags - usually type 4 (LDPE), sometimes type 2, though not always marked - at your grocery store to be recycled. Most large chain grocery stores will have bins located in the store. Types 2 and 4 can be mixed most of the time, but read the signs first to be sure. Clean out bags before recycling.<br />

5. <span style="font-style: italic;">Step 5</span><br />
Call the Alliance of Foam Packaging Recyclers, (410) 451-8340, or visit their Web site to find a local recycling center in your area that will take foam packaging (type 6, Expanded Polystyrene or EPS). Other type 6 items such as plastic utensils will most likely need to be thrown out.<br />

6. <span style="font-style: italic;">Step 6</span><br />
Throw out types 3 (plastic food wrap and vegetable oil bottles), 5 (yogurt containers, syrup bottles, diapers, some bags, most bottle tops and some food wrap) and 7 (layered or mixed plastic). While some of these are recyclable, the plastics industry is still in the early stages of recycling and does not recycle these in most cities unless it is through a test program.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Tq0LVVnYOuZEXytHzpW0TiX6IWm1Vvagnyz1fg0jWjO2cz7VXPB3u9u_Rs2MFsxINxzMppOpFheCZY9HsfzFqS8l7E3tboDg_lg8FZ8yQtejk6Xo5yviQkyYsumlNx3YzQM0szxdVqU/s1600-h/recycle007.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="recycle, reuse, reduce, recycle your plastic" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340320264643195650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Tq0LVVnYOuZEXytHzpW0TiX6IWm1Vvagnyz1fg0jWjO2cz7VXPB3u9u_Rs2MFsxINxzMppOpFheCZY9HsfzFqS8l7E3tboDg_lg8FZ8yQtejk6Xo5yviQkyYsumlNx3YzQM0szxdVqU/s200/recycle007.jpg" style="float: right; height: 135px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; width: 135px;" title="Recycle logo" /></a><br />
<br />

Take caps and pump spray tops off of plastic containers unless they are marked with a number. They are often made from a type of plastic that is different from the main part of the container and generally are not recyclable.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia7-Q_Ne-L6gvmabPloQNMN1WopBkO3ngFD-9hnOyNClYhoUcbzJcjWziA6TJkEGx_CDeDH81cafNBSGjxdacgn3Vgoxsi4cqjfm1u5qYF10d8GERu2oLw-483BCdTtHdlJr6SAX1Cj3I/s1600-h/recycleOK.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340322467008365346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia7-Q_Ne-L6gvmabPloQNMN1WopBkO3ngFD-9hnOyNClYhoUcbzJcjWziA6TJkEGx_CDeDH81cafNBSGjxdacgn3Vgoxsi4cqjfm1u5qYF10d8GERu2oLw-483BCdTtHdlJr6SAX1Cj3I/s320/recycleOK.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 100px; margin: 0 0 10px 10px; width: 150px;" /></a><br />

When we burn fossil fuels—such as oil, coal, and natural gas—to run our cars and light our homes, we pump carbon dioxide (CO2) into the air. This thickens the heat-trapping blanket that surrounds the planet, causing global warming. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Choosing modern technology can reduce our use of fossil fuels and help protect the planet. These ten steps will help curb global warming, save you money, and create a safer environment for the future.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Drive Smart!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A well-tuned car with properly inflated tires burns less gasoline—cutting pollution and saving you money at the pump. If you have two cars, drive the one with better gas mileage whenever possible. Better yet, skip the drive and take public transit, walk, or bicycle when you can.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Buy Local and Organic<span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Did you know the average American meal travels more than 1,500 miles from the farm to your plate? Think of all the energy wasted and pollution added to the atmosphere—not to mention all the pesticides and chemicals used to grow most produce! So go to your local organic farmer to get your fruits and veggies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;"><br />Support clean, renewable energy.<span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Renewable energy solutions, such as wind and solar power, can reduce our reliance on coal-burning power plants, the largest source of global warming pollution in the United States. Call your local utility and sign up for renewable energy. If they don't offer it, ask them why not? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, support a national renewable electricity standard (RES). The Energy Bill signed in 2007 lacked key components that address our energy security and global warming emissions: a renewable electricity standard of 15 percent by 2020 and a tax package that will provide investment incentives for clean energy alternatives. Use our action center to urge your members of congress to support the renewable electricity standard and tax package!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: italic;"><br />Replace incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs.<span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Especially those that burn the longest each day. Compact fluorescents produce the same amount of light as normal bulbs, but use about a quarter of the electricity and last ten times as long. Each switch you make helps clean the air today, curb global warming, and save you money on your electricity bill.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Saving energy at home is good for the environment and for your wallet.<span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Start with caulking and weather-stripping on doorways and windows. Then adjust your thermostat and start saving. For each degree you lower your thermostat in the winter, you can cut your energy bills by three percent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally, ask your utility company to do a free energy audit of your home to show you how to save even more money.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: italic;">Become a smart water consumer.<span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Install low-flow showerheads and faucets and you'll use half the water without decreasing performance. Then turn your hot water heater down to 120°F and see hot-water costs go down by as much as 50 percent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Buy energy-efficient electronics and appliances.<span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Replacing an old refrigerator or an air conditioner with an energy-efficient model will save you money on your electricity bill and cut global warming pollution. Look for the Energy Star label on new appliances or visit their website at www.energystar.gov to find the most energy-efficient products.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: italic;"><br />Plant a Tree, protect a forest.<span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Protecting forests is a big step on the road to curbing global warming. Trees "breathe in" carbon dioxide, but slash-and-burn farming practices, intensive livestock production, and logging have destroyed 90 percent of the native forests in the United States. And you can take action in your own backyard—planting shade trees around your house will absorb CO2, and slash your summer air-conditioning bills. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Producing new paper, glass, and metal products from recycled materials saves 70 to 90 percent of the energy and pollution, including CO2 that would result if the product came from virgin materials. Recycling a stack of newspapers only four feet high will save a good-sized tree. Please... buy recycled products!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: italic;">Mount a local campaign against global warming.<span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span><br />

The largest advantage shown by the development of this green roof has been the data collected about its temperatures. There is an occurrence called the urban heat island which is where urban centers have average temperatures of 6 to 10 °F higher than surrounding areas due to the high concentration of dark rooftops and other surface areas. There are other cities in Japan, USA, Indonesia and other city create high building with roof garden on the top of the building. Roof garden also calls as green roof. Roof garden also creates a new beautiful view in our city.</span><br />

eight sentences on the subject, more than he devoted to any other specific
area. “Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can
avoid the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more
powerful storms.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

percent by 2020, yielding large health and environmental benefits at relatively
low cost. Such an approach would allow Mr. Obama to fulfil his 2009 pledge to

Bali is a very fantastic island. One of the unique days in the world will take place in March 26, 2009 in Bali. It is known as Hari Raya Nyepi, the silent day. This is the celebration of New Year (Hari Raya Nyepi) according to Icaka calendar that used by the Hinduism followers in Indonesia especially who live in Bali. Remember, Silent Day only in Bali. This old tradition is very unique. Please inform me if you find a silent day in other country.<br />
<br />
On the silent day the followers of Hinduism will do a special ritual by not doing <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU3GvTv6sVPTS_3vXpVbdZxhGjlWE-StNZcFYn-1PTDHGKAkj-69Tqvpu6i6YEZWUa5B_pYj8rLR-N_hgSH3UC6uXmiOW9MVG2lhdR99IIulodFk6mdEgB5TMu79FG1zKB8iJltaYi63E/s1600-h/bali_hotel.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316670735215655890" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU3GvTv6sVPTS_3vXpVbdZxhGjlWE-StNZcFYn-1PTDHGKAkj-69Tqvpu6i6YEZWUa5B_pYj8rLR-N_hgSH3UC6uXmiOW9MVG2lhdR99IIulodFk6mdEgB5TMu79FG1zKB8iJltaYi63E/s320/bali_hotel.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 153px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" /></a><br />
<br />
four types of activities namely no fire or electric, no work, no travel and no entertainment. The silent day is going to be lasting for 24 hours. Why do they take such an unpopular action? According to Hinduism’s belief the action has an important meaning as a self control effort, so that in the coming new year everything will be better.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Only in Bali</b></i><br />
If you have had a plan to travel to Bali this month, don’t miss this good occasion. Just give this silent day a try and you surely will get the very valuable experience. But don’t forget to prepare everything to face this scarce event. Get <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYlqZsEv-XFdjBYj3ToerksENqZb1_J_mABsH8twQbdERbTPfnWdMvIwBzaN2gTMdUXfzON9z8Dl-DTi0_HbaE7jL95X-4Oc8-Vcou9aMeBkpaKoz3mne5nBvvU01RcZEZmmiWKR5SO0E/s1600-h/agung_2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316670285006779714" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYlqZsEv-XFdjBYj3ToerksENqZb1_J_mABsH8twQbdERbTPfnWdMvIwBzaN2gTMdUXfzON9z8Dl-DTi0_HbaE7jL95X-4Oc8-Vcou9aMeBkpaKoz3mne5nBvvU01RcZEZmmiWKR5SO0E/s320/agung_2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 87px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 145px;" /></a><br />
ready because within 24 hours you will live without electric. There is also not any transportation within 24 hours for no employees going to office or workplace. Moreover there is not any entertainment to enjoy. You will only live in your room of the hotel you hire without looking on a television set or listening to a radio.<br />
<br />
You may have a question to ask. What should I do along this silent day? Just do nothing but relax. Enjoy the silent day with meditation then you will get more healthy and happy.<br />
<br />
What do you think if the silent day occurred more than once in a year? Just imagine when all of the people in the world follow this action. It can be a great contribution in saving our world.<br />
If you are interested in participating in this action, you can start with the easy one that will take place on Saturday, March 21. Actually this activity is not part of the New Year celebration but hold by the private organization that pays a great attention to save our world, so that they call it World Silent Day. Of course, this activity can be done anywhere.<br />
<br />
The World Silent Day is arranged to be lasting within 4 hours (from 10 to 14 o’clock) for not doing 4 types of activities namely not using car, not using motorcycle, not using electronic stuff such as TV, radio, computer and not using cellular phone.<br />
<br />
Can you organize a new community to create a silent day in your country, so we can save our planet. Just one day my friends.<br />
