What You Can Do For Nature?

Several human still destroying this nature. We just watch them some with careness and other with carelessness. We should care to our nature. If not, what will be happen? things happen will like my previous post, endangered animals and the most important is Pollution and debris. Garbages will spread anywhere, in city, field, beach, ocean and other places. Trashes that throwed by human can reach anywhere as long its flow. And what can we do?

1. Cycling
People now very like going to anywhere by car and motorcycles. Usually we ride it ourselves. Pollution are made from motorcycles and other vehicles. But not for bicycle, bicycle not produce any bad chemical things to air. Bicycle is safe vehicle. Although you cannot ride bicycle for far distances, you have decrease the pollution made by yourself. Now, many people in the world have do this, they cycle together with their friends enjoying the peaceful nature and usually people go cycling with their organizations. For benefits, beside you reduce pollution it will make your body healthier. Let's do this as much as you can, for nature and for yourself.

2. Throw garbage in right places
Human often throw their garbages everywhere, usually in sidewalk, on the road, and river. Do you know that throw garbages to such places like them is dangerous? On sidewalk and road, people will feel messy and uncomfortable to walk there, and garbage collector take the garbages, send it to garbage organiser, and organiser usually throw the garbages to garbage dump. Now, garbage dump in many area are very high, its height almost reach 1 or 2 level building. it will waste useful land right? In river, garbages usually stopped in water gate, and it let dump in water gate. Once the rain fall down, water gate and other water flow that stopped by garbage will not hold the amount of water from rain and cause flood. We can reduce the disaster by starting from ourselves. We can throw our own garbage in right places like trash bin. Oh, and don't forget about the type of trash bin, trash bins are divided by 3, that's for poison trash, organic trash, and anorganic trash. We must put our trashes on right place. If not, like we put plastics in organic trash bin, it will be recycled by waste organiser. But, plastics you put there won't be recycled and it will dump again. So, please care to our nature.

3. Recycle
This is people very like to do. Recycles! We have 2 wastes, organic and anorganic. We can recycle organic wastes like dead leaves etc. to something useful like organic fertilizer. Just by grind and blind it and then do some process, the useless wastes will become useful again! That's for organic, what about anorganic? recycling anorganic is easy, just put a touch of your imagination and convert the wastes into something great. Especially plastics, in this world plastics are spreaded everywhere, and we can 'Convert' plastics into something new like plastic plane, plastic boat, plastic case and many more. That recycle won't add dump in garbage dump.

4. Wise to energy
This is one thing people very careless with it. We usually use energy in our house greedy, all lamps are turned on, TV turned on even there aren't people watching it, and turn on Air conditioner even you aren't use it. From examples above, what energy mostly used? that's electricity. We use electricity for our life, but electric energy will be drained and wasted to emptiness. It's good if you are use your energy wisely, if you save energy, you can use it for other use or for other time. Like lights, we need lights on night, so don't turn on it many on day. If you use light both in night and day, it will drained more of your electricity. Due to it, you must also pay more for electricity. One dangerous thing is Air conditioner, several AC will profuce Chlorofluocarbon (CFC) that will destroy ozone. But if you control it by turn on it if you need, you'll save energy and reduce amounts of CFC in the world. For this, Earth Hour program is like this too, minimalize usage of energy.

5. Minimalize using of paper
This thing heard impossible but truly this is possible! You are not prohibited to use paper but just reduce it even 1 sheet. By minimalize paper, we have reduce the garbages and wood cutting to make paper. many people have do this, they do this by use other technology to do something. Like in school, several teachers have minimalize paper by give their students homework by using email, explain to student by presentation and many more.









Some heard easy and some heard hard to do. You can just do what can you do, you don't have to do all things i mention above. By doing one thing above you have reduce pollution and save nature. So, keep save our nature and Go Green! Don' forget to Reduce, Recycle, Reuse and Respect!

Rain Tree - The Tree of Solution

Global warming, an impact of Carbon dioxide pollution in air which cause many dangerous effect such as greenhouse effect. Many things had done by people around the world to stop and decrease global warming. Not only for global warming, this tree can be a solution for other problem.

This is one solution to stop global warming, this solution is not to prevent, but to reduce. We do this solution by plant Rain tree (Samanea saman). Rain tree has a big and long stem with many branches.

It's leaves is so many, it also called canopy tree due to its widespread leaves. This tree has advantage by absorbing about 28.442 kg of Carbon dioxide each year. That's for only 1 tree, how about hundred or thousand tree? it can absorb high amount of Carbon dioxide each year. Beside that, this tree has another advantage, this tree provide shelter by it's canopy and many people can take shelter under this big tree.

If people have difficulties to search s shelter at rain, this tree can sheltered you. But, if have advantages, it must have a disadvantages. This tree has several disadvantages. This tree's root can spread widely, it can destroys and damage buildings and roads around it. It's dangerous to the other people.

Rain tree has a wide canopy, it can provide shelter, but it can also hamper the growth of plants that grow under the tree because the wide canopy prevent sunlight to go through the plant under rain tree. Plant under rain tree may die because they don't have enough sunlight to grow.

This tree can absorbed high amount of water, and people worried that the land water dry due to this tree. But, this big tree can be controlled.




Rain tree can absorbed water from land, land in big city is very small, it cannot hold much water, this tree can absorbed water from land so that land can absorbed water again. But with this tree, i think flood effect can be reduced.

For damaged buildings, you can plant it in place where there aren't buildings around it like city garden. This tree must be plant in a wide area. For growth of plants, you musn't plant various plant under rain tree, but you can let grass grow under the tree. In many area, grass can grow well under rain tree.

For water, its hard but you can control plantation of this tree by not plant this tree too many and spread well in an area. Don't plant this tree blindly, if you do it, it can destroy other environment but if not, this tree is very benefical for environment. This plant have exist in indonesia and many people and organization have plant this tree in their area.But Jakarta, which have high pollution must be planted by this tree to reduce pollution. This tree is very good and benefical if planted and controlled.
