Please Help Our Environment :)

How Ordinary People Can Help the Environment?

The citizens of Central Kalimantan (ordinary people) can help the environment:

• Throwing rubbish in the rubbish bin, if you throw it in the river it will cause flood.

• Do not burn the forest so the forest will grow bigger and it will produce more oxygen and when you burn the forest the smoke from the burning activities will make a kind of sickness.

• Do not do illegal logging because trees can help the environment when flood come. Plant some kind of plan to make your house greener and to make the air is fresh.

• Do not burn things like plastic because it cannot be damage and the smoke from the plastic burning is not good for the air and our own health.

           :D These are some things that can help us to help the environment :)

The Water Fall in Central Kalimantan

I love the nature in Central Kalimantan. The air is fresh because it wasn’t really polluted and there are many trees that can produce oxygen. There are a lot of forest and no traffic. The most things that I love in Central Kalimantan are the water fall. It is one of the best views that we can see in Central Kalimantan. There are 8 diffent kind of water fall in Central Kalimantan. They are Batu Mahasur Water Fall in Gunung Mas, Bawi Kameloh Water Fall in Gunung Mas, Bambun Water Fall in Murung Raya, Dirung Duhung Water Fall, Laas Water Fall in Murung Raya, Palei Kodan Water Fall in Lamandau, Sukam Water Fall in Lamandau and the last is Tosah Water Fall. These are the list of water falls in Central Kalimantan so I hope that you would like to visit Central Kalimantan to see all this beautiful waterfalls.

Water Pollution in Central Kalimantan

Water is really useful for human life, they use water for drinking, washing, bathing, cooking and many others activities. Water pollution is when the water that we usually use for drinking or other activities is contaminated with bad lique or other bad stuff.

In Central Kalimantan almost all of the rivers have been polluted with bad chemicals and liquid. These are the river that already contaminated: Kahayan River, Barito River, Kapuas River, Katingan River, Lamandau River, Mandawai River and Seruyan River. All of these rivers have been contaminated with bad liquid (chemical) called mercury. This chemical is contaminated with the river’s water when the mining of gold and zircon sand mining that haven’t have permission from the government is working in the river. The gold miners use the mercury to remove the sand from the gold so they can sell the gold for their own business.

 The second things that are contaminated in the river are the rubbish and waste from some factories and from the citizen that live around the river. They usually throw their waste and rubbish to the river and as you that rubbish is really bad especially for plastic rubbish that can’t be damage.

This condition is not good for the citizen because when the citizen or the people that live around the river take the water for drinking and cooking it is the same like they are drinking and cooking the water that already mix with rubbish and mercury. The effect when they did that is sickness. They would have a lot of different sickness like Cholera, Dysentery, Typhoid, Jaundice and Skin diseases. For the fish that live in that liver will die because of the effect of the mercury chemical.

It is a serious problem, so we can do this thing to make it better: don’t throw rubbish and waste to the river and stop the gold mining and zircon sand mining that use

Mercury.

the problems that Kalimantan face :(

Now, it’s the problem that Central Kalimantan has. The only things which contaminate the air are smoke, and forest burning. 2 connected things which will never stop unless we and the government actually do something to prevent it. Not stoping it. Never, ever, ever, ever, ever,ever, ever, EVER thought to stop forest burning because it’s useless. Better safe than sorry. Stoping forest burning are as if. It’s like filling watter inside a holed bucked, useless. ><
One idea i can think of to stop burning forest are to litterally and actually helps the farmer. Helping them to buy a land, and help them to actually open the land without burning the land, supporting their families so they can farm without opening a new land without burning it. We can do it, if we want to, which is hard. We have to be moved by and for a reason so we can actually help them.

All of te above are my opinion. Some of it are true, and some of it can be false or true depending on you.

what i like about Central Kalimantan :)

What i like about Central Kalimantan are the air. The air here are kind of nice and fresh. It’s not polluted like the one aroud Jakarta, and possibly, some other place 
but one can say that the minus for this is the heat. Most people thoughts that the heat are, well, hotter than most area. But hey, we can’t do anything about it, you know ;)
Also, most people thought that the heat here were hotter ( which is true ) and it’s a lot dangerous than the usual “heat”.........
you get what i meant? It’s like, the heat here are not healthy, which is FALSE . the heat here were actually hotter because it’s healthier here. Rather than in jakarta which has a cooler temprature, it’s because the polluted air covers the city which makes it cooler, but not healthy. That’s a few reason as of why i came to like Central Kalimantan...or possibly, Kalimantan itself. XD
