If we talk about effort to preserve environment, than most of us will remember about joining the preserveing environment organization like Greenpece in international level, or WALHI in Indonesia. The point is we always think that the effort relates with a commitment that can be marked by joining a simbolic organization. There is nothing that really wrong with that phenomena, because it proves our commitment and determination to protect environment. But, it can become negative if we see how it affects the others think. For those who doesn’t have such a big commitment in joining a preserving environment organization, it can block his/her willing to preserve environment. What about if he /she doesn’t want to join, where he/she think it is the only way to preserve environment, than they will stop totally. That is the scariest that we can assume this time. So we have to start change that thought. There is not only one way to preserve environmet, but there is a lot, a lot, a lot of way. But, the most effecting effort that we can do is the effort in our daily life. Yes, we can protect envinronmet by doing something valuable starting from our habit.

It is a simple thing that I have just realized it about one year ago. There’s a lot of my friend joining organization like Greenpeace, WALHI, etc. Even my own brother is the founder of Jababeka Botanical Club, one kind of that organization located in Cikarang. Back then, I thought that what they did is the real effecting effort to preserve environment. Until I knew, that it is wrong, and never be right. Than, I start to change my daily habit. The worst thing that I always did in my past is throwing my trash anywhere, not in the proper place. I changed that habit, and I did it. Imagine, how such a simple thing can make our environmet better. I just realized it recently, and to be honest I regret it. From that simple change leads to another.

Just about a few months ago, I thought why don’t I share this goodness to another, like my friend, my family, my relatives, etc. So I start “my level two efforts in preserving environment”, that is building an awareness to the others about the goodness if we can change our habit. From that time till present, I keep reminding them, and I can not say that I have succeded. Maybe I need a few more times.
