Sikapi hutan dengan bijak, suatu ungkapan baik yang sering kita dengar, tetapi jarang kita lakukan. Tak hanya bagi para penggiat alam bebas, tetapi kita manusia pada umumnya. Hormati dan jaga hutan kita.
Karena di sanalah sumber dari kehidupan bumi, dan munculnya bumi kita menjadi hijau
dan sehat. lalu, bagaimana sikap bijak kita terhadap hutan?
1. Tidak mencoret - coret batang pohon dan bebatuan yang ada di hutan. Selain membuat
keindahan hutan berkurang, juga bisa menyakiti pohon karena dapat menutupi stomata
( tempat keluar masuknya udara ( CO2 dan O2 )). Hal tersebut mengganggu pertukaran udara
dari sel tumbuhan ke lingkungan dan sebaliknya.
2. Tidak melukai, menangkap, dan membunuh satwa yang menjadi penghuni hutan. Jangan
ganggu satwa liar, biarkan mereka hidup serasi di hutan dengan tenang!
3. Jika akan berkemah, gunakan tempat yang telah disediakan. Jika tidak disediakan tempat
berkemah, carilah bagian hutan yang agak lapang dan datar tanpa menebang pohon, sehingga
tidak merusak hutan.
4. Jangan Meninggalkan puntung
rokok yang belum mati benar. Meskipun apinya kecil, bisa
menjadi salah satu sumber kebakaran hutan, terutama saat musim kemarau.
5. Tidak meninggalkan sampah, terutama sampah plastik dan kaleng ( yang tidak dapat
membusuk ) karena dapat mencemari hutan. Sampah plastik membutuhkan ratusan tahun
untuk dapat terurai secara alami. Sampah tersebut disimpan dalam suatu wadah khusus, dan
dibuang di tempat sampah yang semestinya di luar hutan.
6. Saat membuat api unggun gunakan ranting atau daun yang telah patah atau jatuh. Jangan
sekali - kali menebang pohon untuk membuat api unggun karena dapat merusak hutan. Setelah
selesai, padamkan api hingga benar - benar padam lalu bersihkan tempat bekas api unggun tersebut.
7. Tidak membawa pulang tumbuhan atau satwa liar dari hutan. Simpanlah kenangan manis
anda selama berada di hutan di dalam kamera foto atau kamera video anda.
Cobalah lebih dekat dengan alam dan hutan saat kita sedang melakukan kegiatan di alam terbuka , dan jika punya rasa, dengarlah tangisan mereka akibat perbuatan kita terhadap mereka yang merusak.
Kemudian ambil sikap bijaksana.
Cintai dan jaga alam
dan hutan kita!
The Green Thing
Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the older woman that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren't good for the environment.
The woman apologized and explained, "We didn't have this green thing back in my earlier days."
The clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations." She was right -- our generation didn't have the green thing in its day.
Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled. But we didn't have the green thing back in our day.
We walked up stairs, because we didn't have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks. But she was right. We didn't have the green thing in our day.
Back then, we washed the baby's diapers because we didn't have the throw-away kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy gobbling machine burning up 220 volts -- wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in our early days. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing. But that young lady is right. We didn't have the green thing back in our day.
Back then, we had one TV, or radio, in the house -- not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of the state of Montana. In the kitchen, we blended and stirred by hand because we didn't have electric machines to do everything for us. When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. Back then, we didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity. But she's right. We didn't have the green thing back then.
We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull. But we didn't have the green thing back then.
Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus, and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service. We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 2,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest pizza joint.
But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn't have the green thing back then?
Please forward this on to another selfish old person who needs a lesson in conservation from a smart-ass young person.
Remember: Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to piss us off.
