SOO, IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE THE LAST TIME I POSTED EXACTLY ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING! well, i really miss those days btw.
and so far, tadi waktu start browsing i opened yahoo and found this cutey doomsday vault!
article : y! green, doomsday vault


Soooo, I was really2 amazed by this vault. (baca: gudang tp lebih oke gt, kaya brangkas), It could save up to thousands of plant's seeds. it was made to making it possible to reestablish the plants IF one day they dissappear from the environment because of any possible causes.

The vault was established on Svalbard in Norway, 135 m above sea level (135mdpl) and has been qualified as a building which could withstand even nuclear missile, earthquake, and the ice-melts of the impact of climate change for years.

Haahaa, this amazed me how those scientists and environmentalists have such a brilliant idea like this, saving seeds! :D

i hate the government.

real issue : PP No. 2 Th 2008 PDF

oh yes i very do. well you know yesterday i read on kompas that the government (means: SBY) has signed an enactment about "commercial use of forests". eww. LOATHFUL. well they put a price tag on our lovely rainforests per meter square: Rp 200-300,- , depends on what it's used for. ????

Price tag per HA
1,2-1,5jt = some chemical gasses or telecommunication etc companies
1,8-2,5jt = somthing like perusahaan tambang horizontal&vertical

well this stupid enactment was made without any scientific research being undergo, and the price tag was simulated by the negotiation between the government AND some entrepreneurs of ninehundred-something companies which wanna change the forest to some other use like mines, chemical gasses manufacturers, etc.

is this the government way to mention that our Indonesia is trying to improve our PNBP (pendapat negara bukan pajak -- state's profit non tax or something similar) in a way to improve our economical condition? how bullshit. the first time i read this i simply cursed the government. yuck.

OH WHERE'S YOUR HEART OUR GOVERNMENT OF INDONESIA? WHERE'S YOUR EMPATHY APAAN NIH KAYA GINIII GUA BENCI BANGET SINTING GILA MAU NINGKATIN PERTUMBUHAN EKONOMI KOK MALAH GINI CARANYA?!

CHRISTMAS! yeah santa claus is coming to town :D and i cant wait to get my own presents hahaha.

anyway, for the greenier christmas this is a way that we all could be participated in to do :

GREEN CHRISTMAS TREE
(source y! green)

haha! I advice you people (who still doesnt hav a christmas tree, of course) to use farmed christmas tree! Yea. this is one renewable resource to use, and also we could plant it too in our garden :P.

Instead of using fake plastic tree which is made of polyvinil chloryde (PVC) that is hard to recycle and cause a lot of pollutions, we can use farmed christmas trees as a subtitute. After xmas, some types of live trees can be kept outside in containers for a year or two. Others grow fast and must be planted in the ground sooner.

See, the most practical solution for earth-friendly folks who celebrate Christmas is to look for a locally grown tree. Yehey!

and actually, my family has been practically using this thing for years - no leads for children (PVC contains leads), and the cut-your-own-tree preparation was also a good fun too!

Happy Greenier Christmas! ;)

Ways to be Green

Wow in the last post I wrote many, many scary things. Now the time to spend your time off to read some ways to reduce your own emission.
(source y! green, stopglobalwarming.org, and wikihow

FIRST
UNPLUG Even when electronic devices are turned off, they use energy. Save over 1,000 lbs of carbon dioxide, alsooo your electricity bills could be reduced up to 10% per year.

SECOND
USE LESS, LESS, LESS WATER Dont use water heater. Cold water is way more, more freshing than the hot one, and causing less CO2 to the environment. Showers account for 2/3 of all water heating costs. Save 350 lbs. of CO2.

THIRD
USE RECYCLED ITEMS For girls: shop with your own eco-friendly fashionable collectible bag than those plastic bags. Fancier, eh? Also use recycled tissue paper, that's gonna save 5lbs of CO2 per ream.

FOURTH
DRIVE LESS For those in Jakarta: drive less could avoid the traffic jam, and your rising-impatient for waiting it. Use transjakarta (?) Or even bycicle to places which is near. Or just walk. Diet diet diet girls. Or do carpools to school. Or go hang out together in one car, more fun, less carbon :D

FIFTH
EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING I mean if you dont know what are the impacts of these THING, maybe u're not going to even care about telling your friends of glob's warming whatnots.

SIXTH
TELL PEOPLE TO USE ECO-FRIENDLY STUFFS Also tell yourself. Haahaa. Tell your mom, dad, sister, brother, friends, acquaintances, partners, and everyone to use something like: fluorescent bulb, bycicle, aaandd anything with less energy used. You can see some eco-friendly electronics examples here greenelectronics.com

SEVENTH
BUY PRODUCTS LOCALLY For instance: just shop in local Topshop at the nearest mall to your home than going to UK to check the latest trends. Haahaa. Joking. Anyway you also can buy local products: support the local economy. Do you know how far that blueberry you eat has traveled? :)

EIGHTH
GET USED TO THIS HOTHOT ENVIRONMENT Well, I mean we're going to be like this, and even more in the future. So please reduce the usage of your AC or thermostat. And dont idle in the car. BBM NAIK! :D

Well those are some. There are still lotsa things to do but I chose it for you because I think those are the easiest for you to do.. though there still lots which also are easy. Haahaa. come on, let us reduce our own emission.

Climate change may wipe some Indonesian islands off map

2035 : the Indonesian capital's airport will be flooded by sea water and rendered useless

Actual news: climate change may wipe some Indonesian islands off map

Well I read this news several days ago actually. This really scares me to death following the news I read about the collapsing UN Climate Change Conference, and that Al Gore's speech there. Whoo, and while environment ministers from those 180 or more countries are discussing how to cut the emission from industrial countries, the Arctic has had melted 552 billion tons of ice this summer, according to preliminary satellite data to be released by NASA Wednesday. That's 15 percent more than the annual average summer melt, beating 2005's record.
news: ominous arctic melt

Another day in peril. Haahaa. Indonesia is really vulnerable now. And while by 2080 Jakarta would lose 10 km inland from lapping tides, by 2030, Indonesia would lose 2000 islands off our map if sea levels continue to rise. By 2050, 24% of Jakarta will disappear. Yoo, I advice you my mates who live in Jakarta Utara, say hello to new home!

Obviously, what I keep saying about my hottthotthott Jakarta would continue permanently to grow. Temperatures are likely to rise between 1,1 - 5 celcius this century alone. Wow. I feel sorry for the generations after me. :(

And another thing about our-(hopenotsosoon)-to-be-underwater Jakarta is: we'll have more, more, moreee beaches and sea (oh, b**ch). Sea levels would rise 0,87cm per year till 2080. Isnt having more beaches like this is greatly, amazingly, SCARY?

Okay. If we're going to be underwater-ized, then this one maybe wouldnt surprise you mates in J-town. The next big thing who'll replace our beloved megapolitan city is Bandung. Keep in touch okay friends in Bandung, I think I'll join you in one or two decades.



Nah, I'm quite concerned for those who live in near north/south pole. Isnt the great change is amazing? The surface area of summer sea ice floating in the Arctic Ocean this summer was nearly 23 percent below the previous record. The dwindling sea ice already has affected wildlife, with 6,000 walruses coming ashore in northwest Alaska in October for the first time in recorded history. (source: ominous arctic melt)

Principally white ice reflects the heat off Earth surface. But when those white ice melts, about 90% heat goes to the ocean which would rise sea temperatures and an increase in sea levels, AND warm everything else up -- more, more melting.



Wow, is in 2008 Jakarta's going to be an oven? -_-"

nah, new post! so far my weekend is greatly boring and lame.

Yesterday I was like busying myself all day with making some blog skins, though I dont use it : just for my own collection, ahahaha. anyways I wonder, did I do it just because to spend my time off my ex? >.< it's still a mistery even for me. I hate it that I once loved him soo and now when the spark has gone I still actually feel connected to him in some ways. Two days ago I asked him to leave me alone off my own until he's finished wit his final tests, i was really irritated with his attitude that day. Aaah, I'm missing him a little now hahaha.

Well, another thing that occupied my mind is "where are my friends?" hmm, isnt that weird? They're almost completely gone these days -- I meannn yeaa i was left behind yesterday when they were apparently going out somewhere. mate, now i feel as though you all left me behind. That isnt ryte, is that? :)


Okay, the good thing is, i (again) updated the layout! Nyahaha. So totally I've changed the layout 3 times this week. I thought this one would be the one i used for a month or so. The new theme is : global warming, the HOTtest, Newest, etc one. Hahahaha..
Well I got this new theme bcos of, yeah, I've been so often feeling it happens to me recently : Jakarta's hotter than ever! That-is-scary because Jakarta's actually already hot. hahaha. So it means it's SOOO HOT here.

Anyway though the theme is bigg and biggg I feel like I'll focused talking about the climate change. Again, because Jakarta's hotter than ever. hahaha. And i'm influenced that Indonesia now is holding the UN Climate Change Conference. Yoohoo..

Well -- i'll post more later, gotta study a little for the classmeeting competition tomorrow, ahaha. sh*t, I gotta participate in a somekind of smarties competition. aahh, that would be one tiring thing for today and tomorrow. Gotta go!

A bien tot!
