BANJIR DIMANAMANA

nonton tv dalam sebulan ini, beritanya ga jauh dari banjir dimana mana. sumatera, jawa, kalimantan, sulawesi, semua tempat deh kayaknya. apalagi dalam beberapa hari ini hujan terus mengguyur negri kita tercinta (paling ga denpasar lah) dari hari minggu non stop !!!. lalu, banjir dan longsor melanda. Madiun, Mojokerto, Karanganyar, Wonogiri, Kota Baru, dll, terlalu banyak yang harus disebutkan...
lalu, apa kira2 penyeban banjir ?? AIR... tentu saja air.... tapi apa yang membuat air menjadi begitu banyak ???
mungkin isu yang paling hangat saat ini sangat relevan, perubahan iklim, deforestasi, dan hilangnya daerah2 resapan air secara besar2an. ga percaya ? coba deh amati daerah2 yang kena banjir, terutama yang terletak di kalimantan, sulawesi, dan sumatera. pasti di sekitarnya hutan2 telah pada gundul ditebangi para jahanam pelaku pembalakan haram. di jawa, terjadi karena banyak daerah hijau (terutama sawah) yang berubah jadi pemukiman. lalu, secara global, hujan nampaknya lebih senang turun sekaligus banyak dalam satu waktu dari pada menyebarkannya secara merata dalam rentang waktu yang lebih lama.

wah, cukup kompleks kayaknya kalo ngebahas kenapa banjir ini terjadi begitu merata di negri kita ini. lalu apa yang harus kita lakukan ???
nampaknya tahun depan kita harus lebih memperhatikan kondisi lingkungan sekitar kita. pemerintah sebagai pengemban amanat rakyat harus berani berbuat ekstrem. beberapa hal yang saya berani usulkan :
1) kurangi konversi lahan hijau menjadi peruntukan lainnya;
2) perbanyak rumah model rumah susun atau apartemen, tidak lagi rumah konvensional yang akan menghabiskan banyak lahan.
3) pemerintah pusat harus berani mengentikan kegiatan eksploitasi hutan yang melibatkan deforestasi, apapun alasannya, apapun konsekuensinya.
4) terapkan penyadaran masyarakan untuk sadar lingkungan.
5) terapkan teknologi pengolahan sampah yang ramah lingkungan (misalnya biogas ???, usaha daur ulang, dll)
ah... kayaknya masih banyak sih yang bisa dilakukan.... seperti yang selalu a agym katakan "mulai dari diri sendiri, mulai dari hal yang kecil, mulai dari sekarang".... apa yang bisa dilakukan, tergantung kita masing2...

GREEN LIFE

ujan euy,,,,

horee........
denpasar ujan lagi....
seneng deh, jadinya tanemanku pada disiramin n ga kepanasan lagi.. tapi gara2 saluran air kesumbat, rumahku sempet kebanjiran deh... yah, kepaksa deh naek genteng menelusuri di mana masalahnya n buang tuh penyumbat2nya (potongan genteng, tanah dari lumut genteng, plastik !!!). alhamdulillah kali ini ga banjir lagi.....
tanemanku seger2...
tapi.... aku jemur cuciannya gimana ?

Climate Change

berbagai event diselenggarakan di Nusa Dua mulai 3- 14 Desember ini sebagai bagian dari United Nations Framework Climate Change Conference, CoP 13. ada yang emang debat soal bagaimana negaranya dapet benefit dari isu perubahan iklim, ada yang ribut2 menuntut keadilan bagi masyarakat marginal akibat berbagai dampak perubahan iklim, ada yang pening2 gara dengerin presentasi gimana caranya ngitung carbon jadi duit... ada juga yang sekedar jalan2 untuk ketemu temen2 lama n nyari temen baru. seru juga lah....
tapi yang paling penting dari event itu adalah kesadaran kita untuk bersama menjaga bumi ini agar selamat dari berbagai dampak perubahan iklim, seperti cuaca yang tidak dapat diprediksi, pemanasan global, mencairnya es di kutub, kenaikan permukaan air laut, menghilangnya berbagai spesies, rusaknya hutan, dan lain2 dan lain2.... terlalu banyak...
wel... aku juga baru kenal dengan istilah CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) ato REDD (Reducing Emission from Deforestation in Developing Country). tapi paling nggak, aku jadi belajar...
lagian aku juga jadi ada ide untuk bikin research link antara komodo n climate change....

peace
