EARTH DAY for GLOBALWARMING

Indonesia has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 60 percent until the year 2030 by combining environmental policy and the appropriate international support.

Policy and institutional changes in the forestry sector, power generation, transportation, and management of peatlands represent an opportunity for Indonesia to move to the path of more sustainable economy.

Thus exposure to the Minister for the Environment and Chief Executive of the National Council on Climate Change (DNPI) Rachmat Witoelar told reporters on Thursday (27 / 8) in Jakarta. This data is temporarily DNPI studies this year.

"Indonesia recognizes the threat faced by all nations from global warming, and will seek to reduce emissions in the country along this line with national development goals," said Rachmat.

DNPI data show, the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in Indonesia in 2005 reached 2.3 giga tons. These emissions would increase by 3.6 giga tons in 2030 if there is no change in the search for management in some sectors.

Indonesia itself, for one, will focus on the forestry sector, agriculture, transportation, buildings, and cement. From this sector, Indonesia opportunity to reduce greenhouse gases by 2.3 giga tons in 2030.

As is known, peat and forestry are the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Indonesia, which reached 45 percent. To suppress these emissions, Indonesia would rehabilitate damaged peatlands.

"In addition, Indonesia will actively influence the international negotiations on greenhouse gas emissions, develop a climate change strategy in the country that are reliable, and to increase public awareness of the risks and opportunities climate change,"

Indonesian Civil Society Forum for Climate Justice (Civil Society Forum for Climate Justice / CSF) urged the state-Annex 1 countries cut emissions to meet its commitments as agreed in the Kyoto Protocol.

Negotiations Bonn Climate Change Talks are ongoing (1-12 June 2009) should ensure the fulfillment of its commitments in the Kyoto Protocol, not menyodorkan proposals for new mengamandemen the Kyoto Protocol, said the CSF.

Meeting in June is a good time to change the direction of the discussion of climate change. "Indonesia as the countries affected by climate change should play a role in determining the direction of negotiations, the focus remains on the decline in emissions in the real beginning of the UNFCCC is the goal," said Coordinator of CSF, Giorgio Budi Indarto.

COP 15 will truly last a chance to realize the justice of the world's climate, so have requested that the CSF delegation that attended the Bonn Climate Change Talks banar II is taking action that could save the world.

Civil society also requested that all discussion of negotiations in June, both mitigation and adaptation to adopt the concept of HELP in the solution to climate change that ditawarkannya.

Indonesian civil society, if not akan menoleransi schemes handling of climate change offered by the potential harm the community. Therefore, any concrete action to overcome the impact of climate change should be taken while still ensuring the right people.

Another concern that civil society is a funding mechanism that should not be longer depending on the model of debt, the process of manipulation developed countries reducing emissions through the offset mechanism will not be able menstabilisasi volume Grk globally.

For Indonesia, adaptation and mitigation efforts that can not be done again cause problems, such as conversion of land to plant food crops of biofuel raw materials which will reduce the capacity of food production, ecosystem change or peat moss peat and the sea as penyeimbang macro and micro climate which is very closely with the interests of ecological, economic, social, and cultural communities.

Ecological debt management should be done through the Transitional justice mechanisms. Environmental crimes should be processed first to uphold justice to victims, and for the restoration of ecosystems that have been damaged in the practices, exploitation of natural wealth by the multi-national corporation.

Indonesian civil society forum for climate justice affirmed, developed countries are obliged to control and evaluate the investment-investment in the plantation-forestry sector, where the second sector is the primary supply their needs, the impact to the area of swamp forest and peat moss industry in Indonesia for oil palm plantations and forest industry plants.

They must also ensure that the project pilot modeling and reducing emission from deforestation and degradation (ReDD) funded does not violate the rights of indigenous people of the area, forest, and the environment in Indonesia.

Regardless of various things, the handling of climate change will not be achieved, and the UNFCCC negotiations are only the business event carbon failed to save the earth, so the CSF.

40th Anniversary of Earth Day in april 2010

For 40 years Earth Day anniversary in 2010, the world in greater danger than now, but there is also unprecedented opportunity, namely to build a new future. Earth Day has the power to bring about progress in the history of climate policy, energy and green jobs and catalyze millions of personal commitment to make sustainability - "A Billion Acts of Green" - the strength of the community to mobilize to make changes by taking small steps in our house , our school and our business, which add up to large collective action.

Earth Day 40 years is very important for people, companies and governments to join together to create a global green economy and convenience. Our coordinated efforts will now be recognized by future generations as a pivot.

So why wait? You start planning Earth Day 2010 event or take action right now, and join in all forms of social community to preserve the environment for our children and grandchildren who will be in the come.come on saved the world!

Paper The Future [Erasable Paper]
Technology has now found erasable paper (paper that can be deleted after printing). An event of global innovations that can change the world. This paper can be used to print repeatedly in order to be able to save paper and reduce the use of waste.


According to research, 40% of the office every day document printing is used only for temporary use. scientists have developed technology that lets users print at any time to re-use previously printed paper that is used only for a while.

This project is the result of cooperation between scientists and PARC (Palo Alto Research Center). Paul Smith, manager laborium new material synthesis and showed the ability to temporarily remove a paper that has been printed before.

Paper that is coated can be removed chemicals that can react with the light intensity in particular. When the paper is directed to the light, it will create the text that appears on the surface. Within 24 hours, this paper will be clean again by itself, and ready for use lagi.ini is good for the office that often use paper and can be in use again, according to research may be to remove 40% on the same day when printed.

Terobosanini something that is also significantly more environmentally friendly than current technology - the printing technology that can reduce waste up to 90%, and purify water with low cost energy to use than other methods konvensional.para scientists also found the method of printing documents that are difficult because they are capable dilakuakan forgery print-image hologram image size is very small - can only be read with the help of magnifying glass under ultra-violet rays.
