TULISAN (SOFTSKIL/BAHASA INGGRIS)

SAVE AND LOVE THE EARTH

Planet earth is ranked fourth in the solar system that has the privilege of living as a place to live because it has warm temperatures and abundant water. Earth the only planet that is friendly and wonderful with a lot of ocean and land in which there are many great natural charm. But the Earth was getting older, many natural phenomena and natural disasters such as floods, landslides, mudslides and even the events that occurred in Sidoarjo, East Java.

This occurs due to the nature of damage caused by most of the human hand, one of which became the talk of the world is the issue of global warming is a process of increasing the average temperature of the atmosphere, oceans and the Earth's land because the sun emits radiation to penetrate the layers of Earth's atmosphere . Radiation will be reflected back into space, but most of the wave is absorbed by greenhouse gases, namely CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, and SF4 in the atmosphere. As a result the wave trapped in the Earth's atmosphere. This event occurs repeatedly, causing the average temperature at the earth's surface increases. This event is often referred to as global warming., Global average temperature at Earth's surface has risen 0.74 ° C ± 0:18 (1:33 ± 0:32 ° F) during the last hundred years. most of the increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is most likely caused by increased concentrations of greenhouse gases due to human activities.

And some of the causes of global warming due to human activities such as:

1.      Population increases,

2.      Industrial activities and technologies that increase

3.      Human behavior that does not care about the cleanliness of the environment such as     littering, use of water, electricity other danenergy excessive use of household appliances co2 level is high, rarely clean environment, and so on.

4.      Increased human activity as it is now a private vehicle users increases, it causes more and more CO2 gas produced, giving rise to air pollution, in addition to human-generated smoke can also cause air pollution

5.      Waste of energy, Indonesia including the wearing of the energy industry because indonesi including state

6.      Damage to forests from illegal deforestation by humans

7.      Lack of green areas and city parks that serve as the lungs of the city, is caused by a number of developments or residential buildings in major cities.

8.      Of agricultural and livestock activities also produce greenhouse gas emissions through the flooded rice fields that produce methane gas, fertilizer use and agricultural practices, crop residue burning, and decomposition of manure can produce dinitro oxide gas.

9.      Garbage and waste, human waste generated each day will accumulate and produce methane gas, and waste resulting from industrial activities was a major threat to global warming.

10.  Use of electronic equipment that could lead to global warming such as air conditioning, television, and even communication tools such as mobile phones, etc.

All of this is the greatest cause that triggers the increase in global warming, we as human beings created by God as a vicegerent on earth should be more concerned with the environment and care for our earth, because nature is now no longer friendly to men so many natural disasters and natural phenomena that occur generated due to the impact of global warming.

Some effects of global warming include:

1.      Rising temperatures in the Earth causes the melting of ice at the north pole, south pole, the Arctic and Alaska.

2.      The increased volume of water in the sea, so that sea level rise, and this leads to:
       • marine ecosystem is reduced due to the many species of fish and coral bleaching.
       • Rising sea levels resulting in the loss of small islands in Indonesia
       • Fish production and decreased udanga
       • The deteriorating quality of ground water due to mixing with sea water uptake.
       • Damage to urban infrastructure due to sea water flooded

3.      Extreme climate changes resulted in a high-intensity rainfall in a short time and a long dry season, when the weather is unpredictable

4.      Deforestation causes flora and fauna in the forest become increasingly less

5.      In the agricultural sector to climate change caused extreme delays harvest, crop failure due to floods or drought. Agricultural output was deteriorating and for national food is reduced.

6.      The more diseases that arise mainly in tropical countries such as disease (malaria, dengue, and ISPA)

7.      Crisis of water and electricity energy crisis

8.      Occurred several natural disasters such as floods, landslides, tropical storms such as hurricane winds and tornadoes white.

9.      Abrasion occurs on the shoreline and erosion in forests

10.  In the economic field resulted in rising fuel prices and food prices more expensive

This impact could worsen if we as humans do not make changes to this earth, do from now on do not just look forward to the government, global warming is a common problem to be solved. It's time to get together to reduce global warming even done a little thing but the benefits are great, and we can do to reduce global warming by:

1.      Conserve electricity:
      • Turn off the lights and electricity when not needed
      • Turn off the television, rice heater, radio, ac, if not used
      • Do not be too long to open the refrigerator door
      • Do not forget to unplug the cable if it is charging the battery
      • Do not be too long to use electronic means
      • Use energy-saving electronics

2.       Conserve water, use water as necessary so as not to waste

3.       Reusing items can still be used:
      • Using plastic bags / paper bags from the house to shop
      • Buy products that can be refilled
      • Use old newspapers for packing of goods

4.       Reduce household waste, reduce consumption of fast food.

5.       Recycle:
      • Use old bottles to make vases,
      • Use tin cans to make a place to save money
      • Use kitchen waste and decaying leaves to make compost
      • Separate the organic and inorganic waste
      • Use items that can be used dikreasikan be selling goods that have value

6.      Go for replanting (reforestation) in the home environment, and planting trees on vacant land. Trees can absorb CO2 gas and produce O2 gas

7.      Take advantage of public transportation as a means of everyday transport it can reduce air pollution

8.      Reduce smoking, because smoke can cause air pollution

9.      Avoid the use of perfume spray because it can reduce the ozone layer

10.  Reduce the use of peptisida in plants

There are many ways that we can do to reduce global warming, may I give a solution that could be useful for all people, begin to apply this now at home and do these little things because the benefits are great for the environment, do not wait until the earth is actually destroyed, because there are future generations who inherit this earth and its contents. Save our beloved earth, if not now, when? If not us, who else?
