Consumptive Life Style Change upon Energy Efficiency by Socializing The Use of a Renewal Energy

Global warming that causes a climate change has not been an important matter on people’s awareness. In common, most people all over currently that is experiencing a long dry season but experiencing a short rainy season. Storm and flood reveal more often and so does such extreme weather in which hitting tropical climate countries. To link with Indonesia, those matters above are now increasing signed by the change happens with formerly cold cities become hotter day to day.

Global warming has become a highlight most people around the world, particularly to those who live in industrialized countries with the high consumptive lifestyles. Unfortunately, it is only a few people who understand and care about the climate change issues. Most people say that the environmental effect happens only in aggregation. Therefore, most of them might not think of the importance of the environmental preservation and ironically, coming from those who are in the office in decision making.

The global warming caused by the climate change is mostly triggered by carbon waste emission, the used of fossil energies (fuel, coal and others) which are not renewable. The USA, Britain, Russia, Canada, Japan, China and other industrialized countries contribute a lot to worsen the world’s climate. The citizens of these countries are very consumptive ten times higher than those who live in southern part of the world. Developing countries’ citizens, even it is lower than northern countries’, have contributed to worsen caused by their countries’ growth-oriented by forcing industrialization and rising up the consumption.

The biggest carbon producing industries in developing country like Indonesia are mining (fuel and gas, coal and fossil energy). Indonesia is now famous for the country which a rapid damage to its forest and has been booked in “Guinness Book of Record” in which listing the country on the top of.

According to a finding of Intergovernmental Panel and Climate Change (IPCC), an international panel organization where the members coming from more than 100 countries all over the world, an organization under UN administration but it is more powerful than.

The organization reported in 2005 that there has been a temperature increase of 0.6-7.0 to the world where Asia booked higher, of 10. In accordingly, the water supplies in tropical countries have lessened 10%-30% and iceberg melt happened in Himalaya and in South Polar.

These matters above have brought “old and new” endemic disease outbreak that keep counting on each day as dengue fever, leptospirosis, diarrhea, and others. Some of them should not reveal any longer and can be taken care but now have infected and worse, have perished many people. In Indonesia, hundreds of coasted cities in East Java are close to drown since the rise of the sea surface. To take an instance, it happened in the third week of May 2007 to be an indicator that things have been worse and worse as then happened to Kanjeran beach, Popoh, Ngeliyep and other beaches in most islands all over the country.

Meanwhile, some other beaches situated in Asia and Africa, attacked by the risen waves. As warned by the IPCC, melt ice in Himalaya and in North Polar directly contributed to the rise of waves of 4-6 meters. It might come to 7 meters of rise by 2012.

Even, in the next 30 years, it can threaten coastal leaves and burden a huge scarcity since the harvest fail to generate.

Then, these abovementioned reveal a big question that what we should need as a part of the world. The answer is a life style revolution! We should start reducing our high consumption in electricity, fuel, and mostly, in water as the main source to worse our natural resources.

The other crucial need to conduct is to have consensus to engage all people from all over the world to enforce climate justice as carried out by Australia with its climate justice instrument through a climate justice conduct by forming a climate justice. What Kyoto Protocol rules is one committed effort to make things better by stressing on northern countries to pay for their carbon emission wastes.

Besides, it is a time to think of using such alternative energies such as energy used for cooking with bio-gas. Energy decentralization is now required to get away from our dependence on centralized energy.

In addition to, the rule makers should come with their in line policies to reduce global warming as we are all committed to, as well. They can come with the interval period of the forest cutting policy, for an instance. Another, they should gradually review all the mining contracts spread in Papua, Kalimantan, Sulawesi and other parts of the country. In brief, they should start a progressive policy to the aim.

People are engaged to the aim and should conscious of the world’s citizens in which should be hand-in-hand to do so. Thinking of that the world is a kind of ship where we are and when a leak happens to one part of, can drag others suffer and drown. It will show a sustainable society that we should. Let’s brand a new start for a better future, to get away from dependencies on energies owned by the capitalized corporations. Start to consume alternative energies and renewable ones. We should follow what Denmark has done. It can stay enjoying their growth though reducing their green house gas emissions.
