“Now comes the threat of climate
crisis--a threat that is real, rising, imminent, and universal. Once again, it
is the 11th hour,”(Al Gore, in his acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace
Prize). Al Gore lines recalled our memories, there are lots of disasters have
been happening recently. It is not just a faith but it's also human’s attitude
that makes all happen. We cannot just keep in silences, blind and deaf as long
as it's all not happening to us.
If we make such a root cause
analysis and we put the main impact front which is climate crisis, we will find
the cause at the back refers to human's attitude. So what we need to fix,
basically from the human’s attitude that has been becoming a habit. I live in
Indonesia who comes from variety in culture, race, languages and background,
first thing that I want to do when I come to a local community in my country I
would like to learn deeply about their habituation, livelihood, culture and
their background so it will make me easier to do horizontal communication with
them face to face to make a common purpose about what actually they have
already done for the environment, meaning of the climate crisis, difficulties
by running their live as environmental roles, sharing knowledge about WED a – z
behavior, and give them the real description about the impact that would happen
if they don’t act from now. This is really important to increase people’s
recognition because there are so many people who live in village especially,
perhaps they are not careless because they don’t know what actually happen.
Indonesia has approximately 120,35 million
Ha of Forest equals with four big countries in Europe (England, German, France
and Finland). Now deforestation happen almost 1,6 – 2,1 million Ha/
year.(Forest Department). This also mostly comes from irresponsible human’s
attitude. So the second thing that I would like to do is persuade people or
local community after they have understood to planting trees in their open area,
and not just about planting trees but also monitoring of their growth, percentage
of their successful growth. These also really hold an important role because
our involvement is not just until planting the tree but also ensure it will grow
well. Then it’s called success.
Those will not happen if it’s only including
me to contribute, The world need us to act. Like my favorite quote said :
“Although
individual decisions may seem small in the face of global threats and trends,
when billions of people join forces in common purpose, we can make a tremendous
difference.”
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon
So the third thing that I would like
to do is finding people who have the same vision about the environment with me
to create a community and make all happen. Because I believe by spreading the
same dream we can make it happen together… Lets green the world!
