Award and Presents Given by Official Secretary of Banjarmasin


    The event begins from seven schools that are members of the “Teen Ministry of Environment” team (KLHR) 2014, here are some of their projects that I will present in this blog. Before we look at their project further, back I would explain that this is KLHR initiation or a team formed by the Green Ambassador Association (GAA) in which the concept is referring to the Ministry of Environment Republic of Indonesia. The idea came when I felt that the green movement can’t be done by a few people, other than the lack of an effective action to save the environment delivery and less efficient in a matter of time. So when the idea came, I immediately made the concept by myself and after that made some discussion with GAA fellows, and i didn’t forget to ask the advice of Mr. Hamdi as the Head of Banjarmasin Environment Agency, which he is a leader who always gives me inspiration and makes me always amazed.

     The mention of coral reefs generally brings to mind warm climates, colorful fishes and clear waters. However, the reef itself is actually a component of a larger ecosystem. The coral community is really a system that includes a collection of biological communities, representing one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world. For this reason, coral reefs often are referred to as the "rainforests of the oceans.
      Coral reefs and their associated communities of seagrasses, mangroves and mudflats are sensitive indicators of water quality and the ecological integrity of the ecosystem. They tolerate relatively narrow ranges of temperature, salinity, water clarity, and other chemical and water quality characteristics. Reefs thus are excellent sentinels of the quality of their environment. Proper monitoring of reefs can identify changes in water quality or impacts from land-based activities. Monitoring changes in water quality can help local resource managers understand the implications of actions occurring in watersheds that are associated with particular coral communities. These connections will help in development of sound management plans for coral reefs and other coastal and marine resources.
      Coral reefs are vital to the world’s fisheries. They form the nurseries for about a quarter of the ocean's fish, and thus provide revenue for local communities as well as national and international fishing fleets. An estimated one billion people have some dependence on coral reefs for food and income from fishing. If properly managed, reefs can yield around 15 tonnes of fish and other seafood per square kilometre each year.
     Tourism revenues generated by coral reefs are also significant. For example, according to a report by the Key West chamber of commerce, tourists visiting the Florida Keys in the US generate at least US$3 billion dollars in annual income, while Australia’s Great Barrier Reef generates well over US$1 billion per year. Sustainably manged coral reef-based tourism can also provide significant alternative or additional sources of income to poorer coastal communities in developing countries.
     Coral reefs break the power of the waves during storms, hurricanes, typhoons, and even tsunamis. By helping to prevent coastal erosion, flooding, and loss of property on the shore, the reefs save billions of dollars each year in terms of reduced insurance and reconstruction costs and reduced need to build costly coastal defences - not to mention the reduced human cost of destruction and displacement.
      For many coastal societies around the world, coral reefs and their inhabitants are intricately woven into cultural tradtions. For these people - as well as for those who have floated with a mask and snorkel, immersed themselves in the three dimensional wonderland of a scuba dive, or experienced these habitats through media and books - a world without coral reefs would be an infinitely poorer place.
      Reef structures play an important role as natural breakwaters, which minimize wave impacts from storms such as cyclones, hurricanes or typhoons.
      Also, their beauty makes coral reefs a powerful attraction for tourism, and well managed tourism provides a sustainable means of earning foreign currency and employment for people around the world, even in remote areas of developing countries.
     Several attempts have been made to estimate the value of coral reefs in terms of dollars. Benefits from coral reefs can be categorized into 2 types: "direct use values" (fisheries and tourism industry), and "indirect use values" (benefit derived from coastline protection).

Here some tips for Tourist to protect Coral Reef  (Source: Coral Reef Institute):
1. If you dive or snorkel – Take only photos and leave only bubbles! Keep your fins, equipment, and hands off the coral reefs. A single touch can kill live corals.
2. Recycle – keeping trash out of oceans and landfills will assist in the water quality.
3. Conserve Water – the less water you use, the less wastewater eventually finds its way back to the ocean.
4. Support organizations that protect coral reefs. Your support is very important
5. Reduce or eliminate fertilizers and pesticides from your life. No matter how far from the ocean environment you are the residues will make their way back to the ocean. 
6. Do not anchor on the reef ecosystems. Use mooring buoys when available. If your favorite dive site does not have buoys – organize a project to install them!
7. Do not throw away trash. There is no away! Carry your trash home with you – if others leave trash behind, pick it up and carry it to a proper disposal site. Plastic bags, six-pack rings, and other trash can kill sea life. 
8. Respect local guidelines when visiting reefs. Ask at local environmentally friendly businesses how to be a reef-friendly tourist
9. Volunteer for local beach clean-ups and reef clean up programs. Being a part of the solution is better than being part of the problem.
10. Report illegal activities on reef ecosystems. Illegal fishing, improper anchoring, dumping of trash should be reported to proper authorities.
And here tips that source from nature.org:
 1. Conserve water: The less water you use, the less runoff and wastewater will pollute our oceans.
2. Help reduce pollution: Walk, bike or ride the bus. Fossil fuel emissions from cars and industry raise lead to ocean warming which causes mass-bleaching of corals and can lead to widespread destruction of reefs
3.Use only ecological or organic fertilizers: Although you may live thousands of miles from a coral reef ecosystem, these products flow into the water system, pollute the ocean, and can harm coral reefs and marine life
 4. Dipose of your trash properly: Don't leave unwanted fishing lines or nets in the water or on the beach. ANy kind of litter pollutes the water and can harm the reef and the fish.
5. Plant a tree: Trees reduce runoff into the oceans. You wi;; also contribute to reversing the warming of our planet and the rising temperatures of our oceans.
6. Contact your government representatives: Demand they take action to protect corl reefs, stop sewage pollution of our oceans, expand marine protected areas and take steps to reverse global warming.
7. Spread the word: Remember your own excitement at learning how important the planet's coral reefs are to us and the intricate global ecosystem. Share this excitement and encourage others to get involved.
The Last: "We don't have to be a scientist to have a positive impact on coral reefs, Just Do Eco-Tourism when you visit beach and get snorkeling or diving"

Dalam rangkaian acara memperingati Hari Lingkungan Hidup Sedunia yang diadakan tanggal 5 Juni kemarin, acara busana daur ulang yang dipelopori oleh temen2 GAA (Green Ambassador Association) Banjarmasin kemarin cukup meriah dan sukses. Dengan kegiatan tersebut diharapkan masyarakat akan lebih memahami dan lebih peduli lagi mengenai masalah limbah khususnya sampah Anorganik (sampah yang sulit diuraikan) yang mana limbah ini akan mencemari lingkungan dengan kandungan toksiknya serta menambah kapasitas TPA (tempat Pengolahan Akhir) Sampah. Dengan sedikit kreativitas, permasalahan untuk sampah Anorganik tersebut dapat dengan mudah dicari solusinya dengan dibuat barang2 kerajinan, busana, hiasan, dsb. Aksi yang kami lakukan ini adalah merupakan sebuah Aksi Kampanye Sosial (Social Campaign Action) mengenai pengurangan limbah sulit urai seperti plastik, kain bekas, kaleng, botol minuman, dsb. Masyarakat itu sebenarnya sangat respect terhadap lingkungan, hanya saja mereka belum tahu lebih pasti bagaimana cara mengelolanya. Sekali lagi kita semua berharap, dengan keinginan yang kuat dari diri sendiri, dengan sedikit langkah kecil tapi dilakukan terus menerus, bukanlah tidak mungkin LINGKUNGAN yang bersih dan sehat akan kita dapatkan serta bumi tempat tinggal kita akan selalu lestari.

Dalam kegiatan kali ini aksi kampanye sosial yang dilakukan adalah bagi masyarakat yang menukarkan 5 buah kantung plastik bekas, akan mendapatkan Goodie Bag menarik dari Hilo (Nutrifood).

Susu sapi sangat penting bagi kita untuk melengkapi "4 sehat 5 sempurna..
Dengan rajin meminum susu, maka kesehatan dan kepadatan tulang serta gigi kita akan terjaga, mampu mencegah penyakit tulang seperti osteoporosis dsb

Tiap hari sebanyak 2kali dalam sehari, saya selalu mengkonsumsi susu Hilo..selain rasanya yang sangat nikmat, kandungan gizi yang kita butuhkan sangat banyak tersedia dalam produk ini. Kemudian tambahan kandungan alga merah yang tidak dimiliki oleh produk susu lainnya.

Berikut sejarah dan kandungan gizi yang terdapat dalam Susu Hilo yang saya kutip dari Hilo Facebook Page:
 "ga perlu khawatir dgn kualitas susu HiLo. Susu HiLo diolah secara khusus dari susu sapi di Skandinavia, Eropa Utara. Sejak 6000 tahun lalu, Skandinavia merupakah daerah yang ideal sebagai penghasil susu. Suhunya yang cukup dingin serta hujan yang merata sepanjang tahun menjadikan tanahnya subur dan kaya mineral sehingga optimal untuk digunakan sebagai peternakan sapi perah.

     One year after the action Earth Hour took place in the year 2012, we celebrate the return of the event this year with the personnel and the community of young children were very enthusiastic. Because young people are the catalysts of change.
     Earth Hour is a call to care about climate change by turning off lights and electronic for one hour. This program is an action campaign was first initiated by the NGO World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in Sydney, Australia in 2007.
     This event is quickly becoming a trend, from video inspiring is created and disseminated through social media to echo this campaign throughout the world. This year, Earth Hour event will be held on Saturday, March 23, 2013 with the theme "It Aksiku, Where Aksmu?" Which invites people to turn off lights and electronic equipment starting at 20:30 until 21:30.
    Not to be outdone by the global Earth Hour program, according to Suradji Devy, Marketing Director of WWF-Indonesia, the development of Indonesia's Earth Hour started in 2009 - two years after the first Earth Hour took place in Sydney, Australia - very rapidly. "Even for this year we are not too meddling. That many moves are a community, "he said.
    This statement echoed by Verena Puspawardani, Campaign Coordinator Climate and Energy Program of WWF-Indonesia. He said young people in various cities in the country who move to lobby the government and local authorities to be directly involved in the program's Earth Hour Indonesia.
    With symbolic younger generation, together with communitIes, environmental ambassadors, as well as tourism ambassadors, we invite the community in ways that draw, with various series of activities such as bike community release action, such as music bands and soloists, parkour , the appearance of Borneo Lady Percussion, Standup Comedy, magic, dance culture, etc. Approximately one month before we had visited schools, organized clean-up activities of the river and the surrounding streets. Thank God, in the event I entrusted to be the MC. From here I while campaigning and inform what and how Earth Hour was that people have "attitude bother living green".


    Tak terasa 1 tahun setelah aksi Earth Hour berlangsung pada tahun 2012 lalu, kembali kami merayakan acara tersebut tahun ini dengan personil serta komunitas anak-anak muda yang sangat antusias. Karena kaum muda adalah katalis perubahan.
     Earth Hour adalah ajakan untuk peduli terhada perubahan iklim dengan cara mematikan lampu dan alat elektronik selama satu jam. Program ini adalah sebuah aksi kampanye yang digagas pertama kali oleh lembaga swadaya masyarakat World Wildlife Fund (WWF) di sydney, Australia pada 2007.
      Acara ini dengan cepat menjadi tren, dari berbagi video inspiratif diciptakan dan disebar melalui media sosial untuk menggaungkan kampanye ini ke seluruh dunia. Tahun ini, acara Earth Hour akan diselenggarakan pada hari Sabtu 23 Maret 2013 dengan tema “Ini Aksiku, Mana Aksmu?” yang mengajak masyarakat mematikan lampu dan peralatan elektronik mulai jam 20.30 hingga 21.30.
      Tidak mau kalah dengan program earth hour global, menurut Devy Suradji, Marketing Director WWF-Indonesia, perkembangan Earth Hour Indonesia yang baru dimulai pada 2009 – dua tahun setelah Earth Hour pertama berlangsung di Sydney, Australia – sangat pesat. “Bahkan untuk tahun ini kita tidak terlalu ikut campur. Yang banyak bergerak adalah komunitas,” tuturnya.
      Pernyataan ini diamini oleh Verena Puspawardani, Koordinator Kampanye Program Iklim dan Energi WWF-Indonesia. Menurutnya kaum muda diberbagai kota di Tanah Air lah yang bergerak untuk melobi pemerintah dan pejabat daerah untuk terlibat langsung dalam program Earth Hour Indonesia ini.
      Dengan simbolis generasi muda, bersama-sama dengan teman-teman komunitas, duta lingkungan, dan juga duta wisata, kami mengajak masyarakat dengan cara-cara yang menarik, dengan berbagai serangkaian kegiatan seperti aksi pelepasan komunitas sepeda, musik seperti band dan penyanyi solo, parkour, penampilan dari Borneo Lady Percussion, StandUp Comedy, sulap, tarian budaya, dsb. Kurang lebih 1 bulan sebelumnya kami sudah berkunjung ke sekolah-sekolah, mengadakan kegiatan bersih-bersih sungai dan juga jalan-jalan sekitar. Alhamdulillah dalam acara tersebut saya dipercayakan teman-teman untuk menjadi MC. Dari sini saya sembari mengkampanyekan dan menginformasikan apa dan bagaimana Earth Hour itu agar masyarakat memiliki “sikap hidup hirau hijau”,

Alhamdulillah, kembali bisa sharing dengan teman-teman dan seluruh hadirin dalam acara Pemilihan Duta Lingkungan Hidup Kota Banjarmasin Tahun 2012 yang telah lalu.  Berikut adalah isi pidato dan pesan-pesan yang saya sampaikan :


Para tamu undangan, dan hadirin

       Permasalahan lingkugan merupakan isu yang terus terjadi dan berkembang hingga saat ini. Sejumlah upaya telah dilakukan oleh berbagai pihak, namun masalah lingkungan masih seperti bola salju yang semakin membesar seiring bertambahnya waktu dan jumlah penduduk.
     Pemanasan global (global warming) telah menjadi isu sentral beberapa tahun belakangan ini. Hal ini merupakan fenomena peningkatan temperatur bumi dari tahun ke tahun akibat akumulasi gas polutan di atmosfir yang menyelimuti bumi. Jika peningkatan suhu itu terus berlanjut, iklim akan terus berubah menjadi ekstrim, es di kutub mencair (melting ice) yg menyebabkan permukaan laut makin meninggi, pulau-pulau kecil akan tenggelam. . .menjadi pulau hantu, karena terdapat dalam peta tapi wujudnya tak tampak.
     Gas rumah kaca (green house effect) merupakan penyebab utama terjadinya peningkatan suhu bumi yg berasal dari aktifitas antropogenik seperti transportasi dan emisi dari pabrik2. Sejak zaman revolusi industri peningkatan suhu bumi dicegah semaksimal mungkin agar tidak melebihi 2oC dalam kurun waktu 100 tahun, karena dgn peningkatan suhu sebesar 5oC,akan mampu menyebabkan dislokasi pada dasar-dasar ekosistem terhadap peradaban dan ekonomi. Seperti matinya hutan tropis,mencairnya gletser, pengasaman laut yg cepat, menurunnya produktivitas pertanian, kematian terumbu karang, dlsbg.
