There are a lot of environment issues
around us, such as increase in population, pollution, global warming, trash,
flood, waste, uncertain season, etc. These make many people do a real action to
save the environment. One way to save the environment is tree planting. People
in the big city who does not have vacant land in their house are suggested to
plant flowers in pots, and people in the village who have large land in their
house are suggested to plant trees.
We know that Indonesia has the largest
rainforest in Asia which functions as lungs for the world. Unfortunately, there
are many people who want to destroy the forest; for the examples are mining
companies which destroy the forest to get the land for their mine resource,
paper companies cut the trees wildly from the forest, some companies cut the
trees from the forest and take the wood as their commodities, etc. Not all of
the companies do reforestation and it gives an effect to the decrease of the
forest area in Indonesia.
Trees and forests have a close
relationship with environment; reduction of forest area will give negative
effect to the environment. The increase of environmental temperature, decrease
of water absorption area, flood in urban area, extinction of some animals and
plants species are some effects of the decrease of forest area.
I remember that 2 years ago after Merapi
Mountain erupted extremely, many forests were damaged. There were a lot of
communities and college students did some actions to replant Merapi Mountain area.
I love voluntary activity. I heard that Atmajaya University would held tree
planting activity in Merapi Mountain area. I was interested and persuaded some
of my friends to join that event, but unfortunately on the day of that event I
could not join because I should take care of my college matters.
I hope that young generation of
Indonesia to be more care about the environment issues and participate to keep
their environment. :)
