One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2005 I joined the Sahabat Lingkungan Wahana Lingkungan Hidup Indonesia (Shalink Walhi) community, an organization which was originally created by the Walhi NGO. At that time, the members are still a few. However my colleagues and I work hard to increase membership and activity by inviting others from the Universities in Yogyakarta.

There are several programs and agendas that we have been developing and implementing until now. The monumental one is the earth day celebration on April, 22nd 2005. The theme of the action was “back to earth, do not make pollution!!”. This is our best program of that year because we were successful to campaign the environmental problem in Yogyakarta by making the biggest letter ever made and sent it to the King of Yogyakarta. The messages on that letter are made especially to the king to tell people commitment on environment condition, especially air pollution in Yogyakarta. We thought that our struggle was not complete without any government support. This action was considered and recorded by Museum Rekor Indonesia (MURI) as the biggest paper recycling project ever made in Indonesia. The size is 5,4 m X 6,8 m.

We collected all of the used paper from the public. Even though not all of the public were supportive and enthusiastic, we persevered and felt it was important for them to be exposed to our program. We hope that they have more awareness in the future and start to see the economic and health sense to make their environment cleaner by saving and recycling as much as they can. The facts showed that recycled garbage has economic value both to the end-user and recycling companies that can make a business profit.

There were some other agenda we did to celebrate the earth day such as happening art, environment movie show, discussion and music festival. These events were special gift for Yogyakarta people who supported our struggle to against global warming.
