"Green Revolution" may be quite familiar to most of us. The term is used in an effort to increase food production by changing the traditional to more modern agriculture. In Indonesia, Green Revolution fruitless with many-fold increase in rice production so that self-sufficiency. But on the other hand, some negative impacts such as the use of pesticides and fertilizers in excess has lowered the quality of the environment and the long-term repercussions.

How about "Green Resolutions"?

Echoes resolution is not as big as Green Green Revolutio , in the absence of massive efforts and coordinated from the government to run it. Green Resolutions purpose was not to be anthropocentric, natural make just as objects to satisfy human needs. But Green Resolutions have a very important role for human civilization in the present era would ever come.

Green Resolutions focused on small businesses to maintain or repair the damage caused by natural human actions. The core spirit of Resolution Green is the active role of each individual to care and do something to improve the environment. Green Resolutions can be successful if in every person growing awareness of love and preserve nature.

One attempt Green simplest resolution is of garbage. Let us ponder, how many bottles of mineral water, how many packs of snacks, how instant coffee, instant noodles how, how much food we eat every day? In this modern era all always produces one thing: plastic waste that does not biodegrade for hundreds of years. How many mountains of plastic waste generated hundred people for ten years?

Some fifteen years ago, when a visit to the village we will find nature that is still really original without man-made garbage littered. But today if we come to the village, plastic waste becomes an integral part of the village scenery.

As someone who lives in the village, I start Green Resolutions with private waste management. Like most waste management, the first thing I do is sort the waste, ie by setting up three bags of garbage. The first bags for kitchen waste or organic, the second bag for solid waste that can be recycled such as cans or plastic bottles of mineral water, and a third bag for non-organic waste and plastic sheets.

For the first bag I throw it by returning to nature. More often I was buried in the garden when it's full, if it will decompose into fertilizer for the soil. With the invention biopori technology, now usually cut into pieces and put into a biopori around the house.

The second bag is usually full after 2 weeks. If you've filled me give it to scavengers "subscription "which often passes in front of the house. Although it could be sold I do not sell it, and quite grateful helped clean up trash from the house.

The third bag is the most problematic garbage bags. Inevitably I have to burn it. This is because in our neighborhood does not have an integrated waste management facilities. And even if taken by a garbage worker, eventually only be transferred to another place, not destroyed and accumulate knows how long.

There are ways to burn away the trash. I usually tie up the garbage in plastic bags and placed on top of a pile of combustible material, such as paper. We burn is a paper that is under the litter, the fire will slowly swell and burn plastics that are at the top until no trace. Combustion can also be done in a perforated metal drum.

In addition to some of the ways I also apply some habits for my family, for some people some of these habits may look very strange. After taking whatever, its matrix of plastic waste my pocket and brought home to be disposed of in the trash at home, or the habit of carrying plastic bags when shopping. For coffee lovers, I prefer to buy coffee in containers larger than a small sachet so do not generate a lot of plastic waste.

The habit is actually not new. In an article, I have read the discipline of Japanese society in the trash. They also do not burn garbage as waste management has been very good and integrated in each area.

For myself, I could not imagine living in the city and manage my trash. Burn a little trash would be very disturbing neighbors whose homes adjacent. Meanwhile, if disposed of only culminate in the final disposal, there has never been a serious attempt to destroy the mounting garbage.
