Try to find a person who has never shown signs of depression and you will realize that it's almost impossible. Almost, but not definitely. Recent studies have shown that there is a group of people in the modern world who don't even know what depression is all about. And surprisingly, these people are generally very poor and far from what most people would consider as good wellbeing.</p> <p>While this statement will seem ridiculous to most of us, this is true and can be proven even using simple logics. You won't see a poor man or woman worrying about their lost success, or craving for a new car they want to get so bad. The only thing they worry about is getting food and having a place to spend a cold night. These people are free from aspirations and stresses most middle and upper class individuals have to deal with. If put simple, poor people are in a dream-like state of full mental harmony with their physiological needs. They aren't troubled by their spiritual or emotional desires, they aren't troubled by things others might think or say about them. Of course, living below the line of poverty has its stresses and burdens but they are always stripped down to simple bodily needs. No psychological worries, no stress, no depression.</p> <p>In contrast, you will find the majority of extremely rich and upper class individual taking Xanax, Prozac or <a href="http://www.buydiazepam.net/richer-than-the-rich.html">Valium</a> to calm down and get them through. Having much money or being in the spotlight has its price tag, which usually comes in the form of certain limits, responsibilities and things to worry about. People from middle and upper classes pay too much attention to they way others see them and this alone is a rich source of mental stress. And what happens when something goes slightly wrong? A homeless individual won't bother if his or her new Bentley gets stolen, because they don't have it. A rich mogul will hire dozens of professionals to protect his private house and spend hours (and tons of <a href="http://www.buydiazepam.net/">valium</a>)on worrying about the latest news from stock exchange. And isn't it ironic that in such a situation the poor are actually richer than the rich, if you know from what point of view to look?</p></span><br /><br /><br /><strong><a href="http://www.123rf.com/src_syam">Syam's Photo Galery</a></strong><br /><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/environmonster" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32x32.png" alt="" style="vertical-align:middle;border:0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/environmonster" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a></p><br /><br /><!-- AddThis Bookmark Post Button BEGIN --><br /><div><a href="http://www.blogger.com/%22http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?pub=syam&amp;url=%22%20+%20data:post.url%20+%20%22&amp;title=%22%20+%20data:post.title" target="_blank" title="Bookmark using any bookmark manager!"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png" width="160" height="24" style="border: 0px; padding: 0px" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" /></a></div><br /><!-- AddThis Bookmark Post Button END --><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1660835626181552208-3265535469894972386?l=antubanyu.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>syamnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660835626181552208.post-241313743396878642009-11-20T23:51:00.000-08:002009-11-20T23:52:07.344-08:00<span class="fullpost"><br /><br /><p>To be able to get a cheap flight you will need to know how the whole system works.

In spite of traveling difficulties, it's not that difficult to find a little romantic inspiration on the trip. When you buy <a href="http://www.airfareticketsonline.com/">airfare tickets</a> you don't have to plan the perfect travel. Flavor your romantic life with inexpensive and unique ways to make it spicy.</p><br /><p>You must know, that many famous romantic places aren't as romantic as they seem to be in movies or photographs. For example, the Eiffel Tower - Paris's symbol of romance. People have wait about 45 minutes and pay 12 Euro per person to take a crowded trip with nauseous tourists. It's still worth a visit, but not a for a romantic time spending. You should walk around the historic Montmartre neighborhood, and have some cafe au lait at an out-of-the-way cafe.</p><br /><p>It's all the same with all the other most visited and famous places in the world. Each and every city has unique places for romantic privacy. If you're looking for personal experience with your co-traveler, you should seek out infamous museums, attractions and monuments. Or, you can visit crowded places early in the morning.</p><br /><p>Instead of staying in an expensive hotel room, try to find a place where you can feel yourself more like at home. It's particularly romantic, because couples can make a familiar and comfortable retreat in an unfamiliar place.</p><br /><p>Of course, long beach walks are truly romantic. But, you are surely more original than that! That's what you should try. Take your loved one to Alaska, Rockies or Iceland or any other wintry "undiscovered" place and book some clearly snug lodging. Snow-caped mountains, cracking fireplace, jacuzzi will definitely make your trip unusually romantic. There you can take a ride through a snowy forest, ski downhill or skate on a frozen lake. And after that come back to your cozy lodging and warm up with your sweet loved one! And sometimes you will get <a href="http://www.airfareticketsonline.com/helpful-tips/tips-on-romantic-travels.html">cheap airfare tickets</a> to such "unpopular" places for romantic vacations - another thing to consider when planning your trip.</p><br /><p>If you're a parent, many family resorts' elements tend to destroy the adult idea of romance. Well, there's a way to get a one-on-one precious moments! There are multiple organized childcare programs and activity centers. Many cruise lines have different programs for children, while mom and dad chill in spa or dine out.</p><br /><br /><strong><a href="http://www.123rf.com/src_syam">Syam's Photo Galery</a></strong><br /><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/environmonster" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32x32.png" alt="" style="vertical-align:middle;border:0"/></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/environmonster" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a></p><br /><br /><!-- AddThis Bookmark Post Button BEGIN --><br /><div><a expr:href='"http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?pub=syam&amp;url=" + data:post.url + "&amp;title=" + data:post.title' target='_blank' title='Bookmark using any bookmark manager!'><img src='http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png' width='160' height='24' style='border: 0px; padding: 0px' alt='AddThis Social Bookmark Button' /></a></div><br /><!-- AddThis Bookmark Post Button END --><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1660835626181552208-4841527699994982373?l=antubanyu.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>syamnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660835626181552208.post-88883340287553413212009-11-20T23:15:00.000-08:002009-11-20T23:17:55.198-08:00<span class="fullpost"><br /><br /><p>It became very expensive to fly.

There can be many reasons for it. Some do it to win the competition and get more people on-board. This is called price war. It is all so well-planned. It starts will one airline giving travelers a good discount and that is when others start to follow. They are trying to reduce price to minimum so the costumer chooses their airline instead of the other one. Another reason could be the demand. During a slow season, there are less airplane travelers over a period of time. Airline carriers lower down their ticket prices or give discounts on them to prevent backlogs of flight travels.</p><br /><p>If you want to get a good priced ticket you better do some research.

This works well for those who are traveling with families consisting of more than 3 people. The package usually includes: accommodation, itineraries, insurance, and plane tickets.</p><br /><p><strong>c)</strong> Tickets are available on the internet. There are some basic sites that sell the airway tickets for the reasonable prices. These travel sites purchase tickets from the airline carriers by bulk so they can reduce the price a little to satisfy their clients.</p><br /><p><strong>d)</strong> <a href="http://www.cheapairlinesearcher.com/when-you-cant-afford-a-ticket.html">Cheap airline tickets</a> can be obtained in special cases by some groups of people. First of all those are military people or war veterans. Age also matters as student and kids get a discount on their airline tickets.</p><br /><p><strong>e)</strong> It is better for you wallet to go for a smaller airline carriers.

Rates were excessive, so the most of Mexicans and tourists have been traveling via bus. When these airways were privatized, some Mexican reduction airways have come in the scene, making rivalry and sending air rates down.</p><br /><p>In the past times budget travelers haven't considered traveling by airplane within Mexico, and they've been spending a lot of long hours on buses. Mexico's bus facility might be perfect - with different service levels and well coverage everywhere in the country, but Mexico is huge, and bus travel among destinations might take a tangibly long time. So budget travelers may exult that airway in Mexico is now a fertile choice.</p><br /><p>There are some cautions. Travel agents frequently do not involve Mexican reduction airways in their retrieves. So discovering and booking tickets may demand quite a bit of exploration - you'll need to visit each airway's website, plug in the source, destination and dates you would want to travel and collate rates. It is worthwhile the strain, anyway, because you might discover some truly great offers - and expending the time in front of your computer beforehand can really save you much travel time that you would expend riding the bus.</p><br /><p>When looking for air rates with Mexican reduction airways, take in account these points: Talk only Spanish: Websites of several airways are only in Spanish. Search for a small US flag to toggle to an English version if possible.</p><br /><p>Rates in pesos: Don't be appalled when you notice a rate is $1500 - that's not dollars, that's pesos. Ten pesos is sharply equal to one US dollar, so split the price by ten to receive a sharp point of what the rate will cost you.</p><br /><p>Fees and taxes not involved: The primary value listed usually does not involve fees and taxes. You will see the complete price after choosing your route (but before bringing in your private data). Fees and taxes might be enormous - at time even up to 40% of air rate.</p><br /><p>No paper plane tickets: Most of Mexican <a href="http://www.discountflightsmate.com/useful-articles/mexican-reduction-airways.html">discount flights</a> work without tickets. In place of getting a paper ticket you receive an Internet reservation code and route to print out. At the ticket bureau you grant your reservation code and present your ID to obtain your boarding admission.</p><br /><p>Alternative airports: Mexican reduction airways can fly out of alternative airports in place of major centers. Some airways are offering turnaround amongst main destinations and airport.</p><br /><p>Cancellations and annulment: Most <a href="http://www.discountflightsmate.com/">discount flights</a> permit changes to reservations ahead of the flight, and change fees are sensible. Verify your airway for final dates for changes. Annulments are generally not permitted, nor is it allowed to alter the name on the plane ticket.</p><br /><p>Luggage weight restraints might be limiting so be certain to verify that you don't go over the limits. If you transcend the restraints you may anticipate returning additional fees.</p><br /><br /><strong><a href="http://www.123rf.com/src_syam">Syam's Photo Galery</a></strong><br /><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/environmonster" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32x32.png" alt="" style="vertical-align:middle;border:0"/></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/environmonster" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a></p><br /><br /><!-- AddThis Bookmark Post Button BEGIN --><br /><div><a expr:href='"http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?pub=syam&amp;url=" + data:post.url + "&amp;title=" + data:post.title' target='_blank' title='Bookmark using any bookmark manager!'><img src='http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png' width='160' height='24' style='border: 0px; padding: 0px' alt='AddThis Social Bookmark Button' /></a></div><br /><!-- AddThis Bookmark Post Button END --><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1660835626181552208-3532252889378035697?l=antubanyu.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>syamnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660835626181552208.post-38453712035310126372009-11-20T22:38:00.000-08:002009-11-20T23:04:53.826-08:00<span class="fullpost"><br /><br /><p>Student travel becomes prevails more and more nowadays, as more and more airways and travel agencies are selling packages, tickets to this significant piece of travelers. Students are frequently traveling and, in accordance with studies, are not as concerned in comfort levels of the transportation mode, but preferably wish to achieve their terminal point without spending too much money.</p><br /><p>After students have caught the sights of travel facility suppliers, new kinds of facilities have been triggered to draw as many customers as possible from this piece. Although, students have small budgets, they're significant, because they are traveling often and they are numerous. The student air fares are budget plane travel possibilities that students may turn to account to lower air travel costs.</p><br /><p>There are 3 general kinds of facility suppliers that are selling student airplane tickets: airlines, travel agencies, and tailored travel agencies (these generally or solely are selling student travel facilities). If you are a student, you need to consider every opportunity to fly inexpensive, but how do you purchase your reduced tickets? Well, at first, make certain that you obtain all the needed I.D's and documents. You will not find student travel offers at every travel facility supplier, but those that proffer such facilities demand particular papers, commonly accessible from your university, concrete associations, or student organizations. This happens more frequently in the case of student travel-tailored corporations.</p><br /><p>To purchase student <a href="http://www.airfareticketsonline.com/">airfare tickets</a>, sometimes it's adequate to vindicate that you are a student. Some travel agents and airways market tickets in this easy structure. What about their profit? Well, they just draw a lot of students and so, they market more. To search out student airfares, we advise you to check out consolidators at first. The possibility to discover such probabilities is higher amidst them than in the case of airways.</p><br /><p>It's always better to compare among airfares proffered by various corporations and only then make a selection. Amount is important as well. Frequently, you may receive reductions on airplane tickets if you carry friends along with you. More travelers might be meaning fewer costs, but only in case the company has such proffers... About student airfares and travel, we may say, it's better for everyone to search out for himself, as the proffers and the circumstances vary from company to company, and country to country.</p><br /><p>Senior airfares are also pretty popular facilities, proposed by airways specifically, but as well by travel agencies.</p><br /><p><a href="http://www.airfareticketsonline.com/helpful-tips/flights-for-seniors-and-students.html">Cheap airfare tickets</a> might be simply purchased, if you know the way to get them. All you need is an old age, if there are corporations in your country that proffer senior airfares, than all you need to do is verify their proposals and conditions of complicity, collate them and choose what you decide.</p><br /><p>If you live in the United States, we advise you to examine the senior travel proffers of such airways like: Midwest, Alaska Airlines, and Southwest Airlines. The demanded ages vary, the common conditions of complicity are exposed to substitute, but the main idea is: the less age demanded is generally amidst 55 and 65, the reductions are approximately 10%, which is not a lot, but ponder of the thing that this way, every eleventh flight is completely free in case you turn to account these senior travel possibilities.</p><br /><br /><strong><a href="http://www.123rf.com/src_syam">Syam's Photo Galery</a></strong><br /><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/environmonster" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32x32.png" alt="" style="vertical-align:middle;border:0"/></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/environmonster" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a></p><br /><br /><!-- AddThis Bookmark Post Button BEGIN --><br /><div><a expr:href='"http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?pub=syam&amp;url=" + data:post.url + "&amp;title=" + data:post.title' target='_blank' title='Bookmark using any bookmark manager!'><img src='http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png' width='160' height='24' style='border: 0px; padding: 0px' alt='AddThis Social Bookmark Button' /></a></div><br /><!-- AddThis Bookmark Post Button END --><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1660835626181552208-3845371203531012637?l=antubanyu.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>syamnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660835626181552208.post-7489417645252016402009-11-20T22:34:00.000-08:002009-11-20T22:38:11.849-08:00<span class="fullpost"><br /><br /><p>Once again got in a flight delay? It's claimed that 48 minutes is the usual duration of <a href="http://www.bookcheapticketsonline.com/">domestic flight</a> delay. It's good you have your laptop, and all the emotions gathered in your chest are just one click away from that gossip blog. There is a significant increase in the use of different electronic devices, including laptops. And airports are now offering wireless connection to the Internet - Wi-Fi. It's clear, that in different airports are different Internet options. And you have to be prepared. Do you get Internet in airport for free, or does it charge for connection? For some tourists, that wish to log on, entering the special airline lounge seems to be the best alternative. But the Wi-Fi for others will definitely be more helpful. And what to do with this eternal problem of dying battery? Open your laptop and see, what airports have got lately with Wi-Fi. Yes, you should know, that sometimes you would pay for using the web in airports, anyhow there are multiple spots that offer connection as a politeness. The biggest US airport providing free Wi-Fi is Las Vegas. Other free airports where Wi-Fi is offered include Charlotte, Fort Lauderdale and Denver. But don't flatter yourself - free of charge doesn't always mean simple and free. The overall opinion seems to be, that free of charge services can be unstable. Some airports, that offer free WI-Fi also include the paid access. On a little more disputable moment, there is a couple of airports, with free Wi-Fi, that have some sites blocked that are considered to be offensive. The question "Is there a Wi-Fi access?" has transformed into the question "Is there a free Wi-Fi access?" regardless of whether you have <a href="http://www.bookcheapticketsonline.com/">cheap tickets</a> or business class flights, that travelers will ask most often. But hold on! There are some places where you won't find any wireless capabilities. Going to Van Nuys, California? Or you got a stop in Molokai, Hawaii or Jackson, Mississippi? Then, you have to forget about your e-mail or reading through the RSS news feeds. Outside Honolulu, that has a paid Wi-Fi offer, the majority of airports in Hawaii don't have Wi-Fi at all. Battery life is a frequent problem for people using electronic devices in the airport. Many airports, mostly those frequented by business travelers, did install charging stations where you can renew battery in your cell phone, laptop and many other devices. Also, don't forget to consider plug styles and voltages, if you're traveling to an international airport. Nice drinks, tasty snacks, comfortable seats, a clean bathroom and Internet access. That's the sector of the lounge, that elite business travelers and a few everyday tourists want to pay for the entrance privilege. Most airline lounges include Wi-Fi, and many feature the service in the cost. Which ones? American Airlines, Northwest and British Airways, to name some of them. Many airport lounges also include data ports. There you can connect your computer to the Internet for free. Also, there, you can recharge your dying battery. So, if they want you to pay for Wi-Fi, don't lose heart, only remember to not forget your Internet cable.</p><br /><br /><strong><a href="http://www.123rf.com/src_syam">Syam's Photo Galery</a></strong><br /><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/environmonster" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32x32.png" alt="" style="vertical-align:middle;border:0"/></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/environmonster" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a></p><br /><br /><!-- AddThis Bookmark Post Button BEGIN --><br /><div><a expr:href='"http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?pub=syam&amp;url=" + data:post.url + "&amp;title=" + data:post.title' target='_blank' title='Bookmark using any bookmark manager!'><img src='http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png' width='160' height='24' style='border: 0px; padding: 0px' alt='AddThis Social Bookmark Button' /></a></div><br /><!-- AddThis Bookmark Post Button END --><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1660835626181552208-748941764525201640?l=antubanyu.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>syamnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660835626181552208.post-34075411988388176242009-11-20T22:29:00.000-08:002009-11-20T22:34:37.500-08:00<span class="fullpost"><br /><br /><p>Tour operators, hotels and airlines are bracing for a rocky 2009 as the global financial crisis hits long haul travel. Asia has been experiencing a travel boom with a massive range of geography from the snow-capped Himalayas to some of the best beaches in the world. But last year saw a drop in numbers. This year, negative growth is expected all round. Let's put this in context. The United Nation's World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) showed the loss of tourism business most strongly in the Asia-Pacific region as compared to the Americas, the Middle East, Europe and Africa. This is echoed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) which is warning that global airlines are facing possible collapse as revenues fall. The consequence is that between 300,000-400,000 jobs are at risk in air transport, travel and tourism sectors. Why is the fall so bad in Asia? The answer is this is not simply an economic problem. Tourism was doing well in India, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Macao until the news media began carrying stories of political and other problems. There was a major protest in Thailand that shut down Bangkok's airport for a week. As a result, more than a million tourists cancelled their bookings. In India, the terrorist attack in Mumbai was directed at the top hotels and the tourists, and the result has been a general drop in travel to all Indian destinations, even those pure tourism areas like Goa - bookings down 25%. Sri Lanka has become a war zone in the public's imagination and Macao's visitor numbers have been affected by a cutback in the number of visas issued by China. These destinations are now anxiously courting business through promotional prices. Even the best hotels in the most favored destinations are discounting. In places like Singapore and Hong Kong, room occupancy is down to around two-thirds and, to maintain their competitiveness, there are a whole range of incentives for those prepared to make longer journeys. In short, there has never been a better time to think of planning a holiday in Asia. Although there will be some security concerns - everyone wants to relax when they are on holiday - the region is once again calm and anxious to rebuild its tourist business. With support from their governments, all the airlines carrying tourists to Asia are offering <a href="http://www.airticketsmate.com/">cheap air tickets</a>. Because room occupancy rates across the region are way down, there are genuine bargains to be had for both short and long-stay holidays. If you are prepared to invest a little time in researching the market, you will be able to find amazing value. How do we know? Because the regional tourist boards are forecasting 3% growth in numbers over the next three years. The hotel and restaurant trade and the airlines are integral parts of the regional economy. Governments are dipping into their reserves to encourage more tourism. In real terms, there has never been a better chance of finding <a href="http://www.airticketsmate.com/">cheap air tickets</a> than over the next six to eight months.</p><br /><br /><strong><a href="http://www.123rf.com/src_syam">Syam's Photo Galery</a></strong><br /><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/environmonster" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32x32.png" alt="" style="vertical-align:middle;border:0"/></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/environmonster" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a></p><br /><br /><!-- AddThis Bookmark Post Button BEGIN --><br /><div><a expr:href='"http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?pub=syam&amp;url=" + data:post.url + "&amp;title=" + data:post.title' target='_blank' title='Bookmark using any bookmark manager!'><img src='http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png' width='160' height='24' style='border: 0px; padding: 0px' alt='AddThis Social Bookmark Button' /></a></div><br /><!-- AddThis Bookmark Post Button END --><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1660835626181552208-3407541198838817624?l=antubanyu.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>syamnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660835626181552208.post-42236092099204770112009-11-20T22:24:00.000-08:002009-11-20T22:29:05.559-08:00<span class="fullpost"><br /><br /><p>In modern world depression is something as common as having a headache or a hangover after a rough night out, but only few people realize how serious this problem really is. Try to find a person who has never shown signs of depression and you will realize that it's almost impossible. Almost, but not definitely. Recent studies have shown that there is a group of people in the modern world who don't even know what depression is all about. And surprisingly, these people are generally very poor and far from what most people would consider as good wellbeing.</p><br /><p>While this statement will seem ridiculous to most of us, this is true and can be proven even using simple logics. You won't see a poor man or woman worrying about their lost success, or craving for a new car they want to get so bad. The only thing they worry about is getting food and having a place to spend a cold night. These people are free from aspirations and stresses most middle and upper class individuals have to deal with. If put simple, poor people are in a dream-like state of full mental harmony with their physiological needs. They aren't troubled by their spiritual or emotional desires, they aren't troubled by things others might think or say about them. Of course, living below the line of poverty has its stresses and burdens but they are always stripped down to simple bodily needs. No psychological worries, no stress, no depression.</p><br /><p>In contrast, you will find the majority of extremely rich and upper class individual taking Xanax, Prozac or <a href="http://www.buydiazepam.net/richer-than-the-rich.html">Valium</a> to calm down and get them through. Having much money or being in the spotlight has its price tag, which usually comes in the form of certain limits, responsibilities and things to worry about. People from middle and upper classes pay too much attention to they way others see them and this alone is a rich source of mental stress. And what happens when something goes slightly wrong? A homeless individual won't bother if his or her new Bentley gets stolen, because they don't have it. A rich mogul will hire dozens of professionals to protect his private house and spend hours (and tons of <a href="http://www.buydiazepam.net/">valium</a>)on worrying about the latest news from stock exchange. And isn't it ironic that in such a situation the poor are actually richer than the rich, if you know from what point of view to look?</p><br /><br /><strong><a href="http://www.123rf.com/src_syam">Syam's Photo Galery</a></strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><!-- AddThis Bookmark Post Button BEGIN --><br /><div><a expr:href='"http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?pub=syam&amp;url=" + data:post.url + "&amp;title=" + data:post.title' target='_blank' title='Bookmark using any bookmark manager!'><img src='http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png' width='160' height='24' style='border: 0px; padding: 0px' alt='AddThis Social Bookmark Button' /></a></div><br /><!-- AddThis Bookmark Post Button END --><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1660835626181552208-4223609209920477011?l=antubanyu.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>syamnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660835626181552208.post-86159957714344742062008-12-23T10:38:00.000-08:002008-12-23T10:42:13.448-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F-1eO4H-fzk/SVEw2XLCxVI/AAAAAAAAApA/1SWRY-8LyE8/s1600-h/Artocarpus+rigidus+a.k.a+Purian+(Indonesia).jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F-1eO4H-fzk/SVEw2XLCxVI/AAAAAAAAApA/1SWRY-8LyE8/s400/Artocarpus+rigidus+a.k.a+Purian+(Indonesia).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283057548373706066" /></a><br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><br /><br /><strong><a href="http://www.123rf.com/src_syam">Syam's Photo Galery</a></strong><br /><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/environmonster" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32x32.png" alt="" style="vertical-align:middle;border:0"/></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/environmonster" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a></p><br /><br /><!-- AddThis Bookmark Post Button BEGIN --><br /><div><a expr:href='"http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?pub=syam&amp;url=" + data:post.url + "&amp;title=" + data:post.title' target='_blank' title='Bookmark using any bookmark manager!'><img src='http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png' width='160' height='24' style='border: 0px; padding: 0px' alt='AddThis Social Bookmark Button' /></a></div><br /><!-- AddThis Bookmark Post Button END --><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1660835626181552208-8615995771434474206?l=antubanyu.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>syamnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660835626181552208.post-60053926028550270932008-01-22T17:21:00.000-08:002008-01-23T09:30:15.611-08:00This beetle belongs to the genus of Heliocopris, which are very powerful dung beetles.

Salah satunya adalah pada substitusi bahan bakar. Kelangkaan dan tingginya harga bahan bakar yang selama ini mereka pakai --minyak tanah--, <a href="http://www.kompas.com/kompas-cetak/0709/17/metro/3852799.htm">membuat mereka berpaling ke jenis bahan bakar lain</a>. <span class="fullpost"><br /><br />Di tengah suara-suara dari congor para pemimpin dan kaum penggiat lingkungan yang menyerukan "<strong>gunakan biofuel</strong>!", para ibu di Tanggerang menjatuhkan hatinya pada gerakan "kembali ke kayu bakar". Bukankah kayu bakar yang dalam sebutan kerennya dapat disebut "<strong>biomassa</strong>" adalah jenis bahan bakar nabati (<em>biofuel</em>)?<br /><br />Selain itu, tentu bahan bakar --yang tak pernah dikenai subsidi pemerintah-- ini, harganya jelas lebih murah. Kompas menyebutkan salah seorang ibu hanya menghabiskan biaya sebesar Rp 20.000,- untuk membeli segerobak kayu bakar. Disebut pula, sang ibu masih membeli 2 liter minyak tanah yang digunakan sebagai penyulut api.<br /><br />Entah dari mana kayu-kayu bakar itu didatangkan. Bisa saja dari sisa proyek-proyek konstruksi. Kalau begitu, sudah betul pilihan para ibu Tanggerang. Pertama memilih biofuel, kedua menerapkan konsep daur-ulang. :-D<br /><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/environmonster" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32x32.png" alt="" style="vertical-align:middle;border:0"/></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/environmonster" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a></p><br /><br /><!-- AddThis Bookmark Post Button BEGIN --><br /><div><a expr:href='"http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?pub=syam&amp;url=" + data:post.url + "&amp;title=" + data:post.title' target='_blank' title='Bookmark using any bookmark manager!'><img src='http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png' width='160' height='24' style='border: 0px; padding: 0px' alt='AddThis Social Bookmark Button' /></a></div><br /><!-- AddThis Bookmark Post Button END --><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1660835626181552208-4155880923952081511?l=antubanyu.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>syamnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660835626181552208.post-55639925573693221042007-09-17T21:06:00.000-07:002007-09-19T02:28:11.701-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_F-1eO4H-fzk/Ru9RA-RudZI/AAAAAAAAAOE/UuvCaUd9GCM/s1600-h/fire+up+with+biofuel.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_F-1eO4H-fzk/Ru9RA-RudZI/AAAAAAAAAOE/UuvCaUd9GCM/s320/fire+up+with+biofuel.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5111393179247998354" /></a><br /><br /><br/>Sebagai benda, bahan bakar (<em>fuel</em>) dapat dipakai untuk membangkitkan panas. Sebagai kata, ia juga mampu melahirkan perdebatan panas.<br /><br />Krisis bahan bakar minyak (BBM) yang mendera dunia, menimbulkan kenaikan harga sekaligus kelangkaan barang ini di mana-mana. Apalagi di Indonesia. Di negara yang kekayaan minyaknya sudah disembahkan pada perusahaan-perusahaan minyak asing.<br /><br />Sederhananya, kondisi krisis selalu memicu manusia untuk berpikir lebih keras, lebih kreatif, lebih maju, dan lebih cepat. Krisis akhirnya berujung solusi. Untuk mengurangi ketergantungan terhadap "bahan bakar fosil" (minyak bumi, gas alam, dan batubara), semua berseru satu kata; <strong>Energi terbarukan!</strong><br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><br />Energi terbarukan (<em>renewable energy</em>) tersedia dalam banyak pilihan. Segala sesuatu yang berpotensi menimbulkan gerak yang kemudian membangkitkan energi lain dalam bentuk panas ataupun listrik, bisa masuk ke dalam keluarga energi ini. Juga segala sesuatu dapat menimbulkan panas yang berikutnya dapat diubah menjadi bentuk energi lain, entah gerak, entah listrik. Asalkan, sumber-sumber tenaga ini tersedia dalam keadaan yang senantiasa ada atau dapat diperbarui ketersediaannya.<br /><br />Makanya, anggota keluarga energi terbarukan terbilang banyak. Seberoyot jika dirinci. sebut saja, matahari, angin, air (terjun), (gelombang) laut, biomassa (kayu, sampah, dll), biogas, dan terakhir tersebutlah bahan bakar nabati alias <em>biofuel</em>.<br /><br />Bahan bakar nabati (biofuel) sebenarnya berarti segala bahan bakar yang bersumber dari nabati. Bisa minyak dari sesayur, bisa kayu bakar, bisa arang dari sekam padi, bisa briket dari ampas tebu, bisa apa saja. <br /><br />Namun, kata bahan bakar nabati, akhirnya kena telikung. Bahan bakar yang secara harfiah berarti "benda yang digunakan untuk menimbulkan api atau panas" dan nabati yang berarti "berkenaan dengan tumbuh-tumbuhan" (Kamus Bahasa Indonesia Kontemporer), hanya diartikan pada dua jenis bahan bakar. <em>Biodiesel</em> dan <em>Ethanol</em>.<br /><br />Kedua jenis bahan bakar ini berasal dari tumbuh-tumbuhan memang. Biodiesel berupa minyak dari tumbuhan. Sumbernya bisa buah kelapa sawit, biji jarak pagar, atau kacang-kacangan. <strong>Ethanol</strong> alias <em>ethyl alcohol</em>, adalah nama dari satu jenis alkohol. Ia bisa dibuat berbahan jagung.<br /><br />Kata <em>biofuel</em> diperdebatkan. Bukan hanya oleh kalangan yang peduli lingkungan hidup maupun yang tidak. Perdebatan pun terjadi antar sesama penggiat lingkungan hidup; <em>environmentalist versus environmentalist</em>. Biofuel diidamkan mengurangi laju pengrusakan ozon, meredam pemanasan global, dan memperbaiki lingkungan hidup. <em>Biofuel</em> (yang hanya diartikan biodiesel dan ethanol) juga ditengarai tak bakal memperbaiki apapun dalam konteks lingkungan hidup. <em>Biofuel</em> hanya jadi pemanis kemasan dalam bisnis energi. Tidak mungkin menyelamatkan lingkungan dengan membabat hutan tropis di Sumatera dan Kalimantan demi lahan perkebunan sawit.<br /><br />Namun, kata ini telah terlanjur ditelikung. <br /><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/environmonster" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32x32.png" alt="" style="vertical-align:middle;border:0"/></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/environmonster" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a></p><br /><br /><!-- AddThis Bookmark Post Button BEGIN --><br /><div><a expr:href='"http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?pub=syam&amp;url=" + data:post.url + "&amp;title=" + data:post.title' target='_blank' title='Bookmark using any bookmark manager!'><img src='http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png' width='160' height='24' style='border: 0px; padding: 0px' alt='AddThis Social Bookmark Button' /></a></div><br /><!-- AddThis Bookmark Post Button END --><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1660835626181552208-5563992557369322104?l=antubanyu.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>syamnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660835626181552208.post-89069404716031316842007-08-22T09:14:00.000-07:002007-08-22T09:51:20.685-07:00Tadi, ketika sedang berayau di ranah per-blog-an (<em>blogosphere</em>) sampailah saya ke alamat blog <a href="http://ecostreet.com/">ecostreet</a>. Ada yang menarik di sudut kanan. Sebuah iklan yang dipajang Google Adsense.<br /><br />Green Menstruation. Begitulah tertulis di iklan dengan alamat http://www.ManyMoonsAlternatives.com. Sebuah iklan untuk perawatan pribadi (<em>personal care)</em> bagi kaum perempuan.<br /><br /><span class="fullpost"> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Menstruasi </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">ijo</span>?! Halah, jangan sampai <em>mikir</em> aneh-aneh, sekalipun lucu juga rasanya. Iklan itu tak lebih dari iklan produk yang diklaim <strong>"ramah lingkungan"</strong>. Dalam bahasa Inggris slogan mereka bertuliskan; <strong>Ecofriendly product for you and your home... since 1898</strong>.<br /><br />Temuan ini mengantarkan saya pada keinginan berayau lebih jauh tentang produk-produk ramah lingkungan.<br /><br />Ternyata di ranah saiber banyak sekali yang menjual produk ramah lingkungan. Terlepas produk ini diproduksi memang atas demi kelestarian lingkungan atau sekadar rayuan bagi para calon pembeli. Sebagai pencitraan atas produk. Dipilih hanya karena "<strong>hijau</strong>", "<strong><em>green</em></strong>", "<strong>ramah lingkungan</strong>", atau "<strong><em>ecofriendly</em></strong>" dipandang ciamik sebagai merek atau <em>brand</em>. Ampun!<br /><br />Seperti yang terjadi pada perhelatan Pameran Kendaraan Bermotor tingkat Internasional di Indonesia ke-15 (<strong><em>The 15th Indonesia International Motor Show 2007</em></strong>) bulan Juli lalu. Pameran ini memajang slogan "<em><strong>Green - Better Living</strong></em><strong><strong>". Pameran mobil untuk lingkungan nan hijau yang lebih baik lagi elok berseri? Yang benar saja!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_F-1eO4H-fzk/RsxiYu_C88I/AAAAAAAAAKE/n7v9EGCC2kE/s1600-h/header.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_F-1eO4H-fzk/RsxiYu_C88I/AAAAAAAAAKE/n7v9EGCC2kE/s400/header.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5101560654972777410" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: normal;">Pameran ini dilakukan di Jakarta. Semua orang tahu bahwa jumlah kendaraan bermotor sudah jauh melebihi daya tampung jalan. Semua orang mengeluhkan macet di jalan raya karenanya. Nenek-nenek juga tahu bahwa kendaraan bermotor (yang notabene produk itu sedang dijual dengan kecap menuju lingkungan yang lebih baik) adalah sumber pencemar utama di Jakarta.</span><br /><br /><em style="font-weight: normal;">Ai, Cacam</em><span style="font-weight: normal;">! Jika model "kamuflase hijau" model di atas adalah alasan utama kenapa produk hijau bermunculan, wasallam!

Bukan hanya perkara jumlah, yang jika dilacak melalui <a href="http://technorati.com/">technorati</a> saja terdapat 80 blog tentang lingkungan. Belum lagi jika dilacak dengan fasilitas lain, misalkan saja <a href="http://google.com">Paman Google</a>.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_F-1eO4H-fzk/RsWMR-_C81I/AAAAAAAAAI0/gwWJzEZPkCA/s1600-h/blog-lingkungan-technorati-.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_F-1eO4H-fzk/RsWMR-_C81I/AAAAAAAAAI0/gwWJzEZPkCA/s400/blog-lingkungan-technorati-.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5099636393660052306" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Perbedaan berikutnya juga pada pemilihan sub-isu, konsentrasi wilayah atau bio-region, gaya penulisan, bahkan sudut pandang. terlepas dari perbedaan-perbedaan itu, berikut 5 blog yang (cukup) kerap kunjungi, (cukup) kerap saya nantikan pemutakhiran (<em>updating</em>) isi atau <em>content</em> yang mereka sajikan.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><br /><OL><br /><LI><a href="http://bencana.net/">Bencana</a><br />Sebelumnya blog ini bernama dan alamat; Blog Hidup Bersama Risiko Bencana: disasters are part of daily life, http://hidupbersamabencana.wordpress.com/.

Timpakul dikelola oleh komunitas penggiat lingkungan di tanah Borneo. Salah satunya Ade Fadli, yang pernah menjadi juru siar untuk isu hutan di <a href="http://walhi.or.id">organisasi lingkungan terbesar di Indonesia</a>. <br /><br />Timpakul terhitung konsisten menyajikan informasi aktual seputar isu lingkungan hidup di Kalimantan Timur. Tapi yang menarik minat saya, adalah tag-nya: celoteh tak penting tentang pendidikan dan lingkungan hidup.<br /><br />Ditambah lagi, selalu pada pengakhiran artikel yang disajikan timpakul. Selalu saja berujung; tak penting...! Misalkan saja; <a href="http://timpakul.hijaubiru.org/listrik/">tak penting politik listrik</a>!, <a href="http://timpakul.hijaubiru.org/informasi-3/">tak penting informasi! </a>, <a href="http://timpakul.hijaubiru.org/sawit-19/">tak penting tanaman konservasi! </a><br /><br />Yang belum ada justru... <strong>Tak penting timpakul!</strong> Hehehe...<br /><br /><LI><a href="http://dewagumay.wordpress.com">Dewagumay<br /></a>Nama blog ini sesuai dengan nama pemiliknya; Dewa Gumay.

Berburuk-sangka atau dalam terminologi religi yang saya anut disebut <span style="font-style:italic;">su'udzon</span>, bisa membuahkan dosa.<br /><br />Suatu kali saya berkesempatan ikut sebuah lokakarya bertema lingkungan hidup yang diselenggarakan sebuah <span style="font-weight:bold;">organisasi lingkungan</span> tingkat dunia. Hadir dalam lokakarya itu beragam orang muda dengan ragam latar-belakang pula. Dalam kesempatan itu saya sempat berkenalan dengan satu orang muda yang bekerja pada Bank Dunia.<br /><br />Kenalan saya ini bersemangat betul menyerukan dukungannya terhadap <span style="font-weight:bold;">pencabutan subsidi BBM</span>. Selain perkara penghematan APBN, alasan lainnya demi penyelamatan lingkungan. Logikanya sederhana. Jika BBM mahal, orang tidak bisa membeli banyak, tingkat pemakaian berkurang, dan artinya pencemaran yang dihasilkan pembakaran BBM akan berkurang.<span class="fullpost"><br />Sudah barang tentu kenalan saya itu membawa pesan, ide-ide, dari lembaga tempat ia bekerja. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Bank Dunia </span>yang sering dicap mega-rentenir itu memang paling getol memengaruhi pemerintah RI agar menetapkan harga BBM sesuai dengan harga di pasaran internasional.<br /><br />Sedari awal saya tidak dapat berbaik sangka pada ide-ide semacam ini. Alasan-alasannya ada pada tulisan saya yang lain. Apa lacur, gagasan ini kepalang diterima oleh pemerintah Republik Indonesia. Beberapa hari setelah harga BBM naik setinggi harga di pasaran dunia, bermunculan pom bensin milik perusahaan-perusahaan asing di Indonesia. Sebut saja misalnya, <span style="font-weight:bold;">SHELL</span>. <br /><br />Ternyata, orang-orang yang keracunan ide Bank Dunia mengantarkan Indonesia pada satu kondisi baru. Kondisi yang pas sebagai pasar. Seruan menaikkan harga BBM dengan topeng penyelamatan <span style="font-weight:bold;">lingkungan hidup</span> atau pun penyelamatan kondisi moneter Indonesia ketahuan belangnya. Semata-mata hanya mencari celah bagi perusahaan asing mencari keuntungan. <br /><br />Apa lacur nasi telah menjadi bubur gosong. Tak dapat dimakan sama sekali. Sementara itu, orang-orang yang keracunan ide rentenir kelas dunia, tak dapat diminta pertanggungjawabannya.<br /><br />Saat ini beberapa pihak menyerukan penggunaan <span style="font-weight:bold;">biofuel</span>, bahan bakar nabati. Indonesia yang luar biasa kaya dengan sumber energi, bai yang habis pakai maupun terbarukan (renewable), juga latah ikut-ikutan. Bagi investor perkebunan dengan berupa bahan baku bio-fuel, misalnya kelapa sawit, didukung habis-habisan.<br /><br />Melalui kampanye di beragam media, mulai dari elektronik hingga cetak, rakyat Indonesia terus-menerus didorong untuk berbaik-sangka terhadap program <span style="font-weight:bold;">biofuel</span> ini. Ekspor minyak sawit mentah atau <span style="font-weight:bold;">crude palm oil</span> (CPO) pun makin marak. Sedikitnya 15 juta ton CPO asal Indonesia dikapalkan ke Eropa. Pada saat yang sama, di Indonesia sendiri terjadi kelangkaan minyak sayur. Ribuan mungkin jutaan rakyat Indonesia antri untuk mendapatkan minyak sayur agar bisa menyajikan tempe goreng di meja makan keluarga mereka.<br /><br />Di Eropa, sebagian CPO asal Indonesia dan negara penghasil CPO lainnya, memang diproses menjadi biofuel bagi kendaraan di tanah sana agar lebih ramah lingkungan. Di bawah bayang-bayang isu perubahan iklim, Parlemen Uni Eropa menargetkan penggunaan biofuel sebagai bahan bakar kendaraan bermotor meningkat sebanyak 10 persen pada tahun 2020. Amerika Serikat yang hingga saat ini mati-matian ogah menandatangani Protokol Kyoto, mengaku akan menyelamatkan lingkungan dengan menggunakan lebih dari 35 milyar galon biofuel per tahun untuk mengurangi emisi karbon.<br /><br />Aha, ini peluang pasar bagi para penghasil CPO di Indonesia. Namun di Indonesia, program biofuel yang membangkitkan semangat perluasan perkebunan sawit ataupun <span style="font-weight:bold;">agrofuel </span>lainnya justru memperparah kondisi lingkungan hidup dan meningkatkan konflik agraria. Sebagaimana dalam catatan Sekretaris Jenderal FSPI, Henry Saragih dalam tulisannya di <a href="http://www.thejakartapost.com/ detaileditorial. asp?fileid= 20070726. E03&irec=2 ">Jakarta Post</a>, dalam tahun 2006 saja ekspansi perkebunan sawit telah meletupkan 350 konflik agraria. <br /><br />Masihkah kita bisa berbaik sangka terhadap gagasan-gagasan yang dibawa oleh orang-orang yang keracunan ide-ide penyelamatan <span style="font-weight:bold;">lingkungan hidup </span>yang disokong oleh lembaga-lembaga rentenir internasional yang bersatu-padu dengan perusahaan lintas dunia? Saya kira, dalam konteks lingkungan hidup, berburuk sangka itu lebih dari sekadar perlu. Justru, wajib.<br /><br />[Syam Asinar Radjam, Lebul 2 Agustus 2007]<br /><br /></span><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/environmonster" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32x32.png" alt="" style="vertical-align:middle;border:0"/></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/environmonster" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1660835626181552208-3424020169045676039?l=antubanyu.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>syamnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660835626181552208.post-9071693405722308162007-07-31T10:00:00.000-07:002007-08-22T11:22:17.956-07:00<strong>Badan Kesehatan Dunia (WHO)</strong> mengeluarkan pernyataan yang amat mengejutkan.

Dan kenapa banyak perusahaan perkebunan besar juga kedapatan melakukan pembakaran?<br /><br />Jawabannya tentu saja gampang. Efisiensi biaya atau penghematan biaya! Seberapa murah? <br /><br />Dengan cara bakar, perusahaan mengeluarkan biaya 50 kali lebih murah ketimbang menggunakan mesin modern. Mantan Menteri Lingkungan Hidup RI, Prof. Emil Salim dalam <span style="font-weight:bold;">Regional Outlook Forum 2007</span> sebagaimana dikutip antubanyu dari artikel “<a href="http://www.siiaonline.org/haze_will_worsen_action_needed_now">Haze will worsen, action needed now</a>” di situs <a href="http://www.siiaonline.org ">Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA)</a><br /><br /><blockquote> ...that it costs an estimated US$250 (S$385) per hectare for companies to clear forests in a responsible manner, using modern machines. <br /><br />In contrast, clearing land by burning costs just US$5 per hectare. </blockquote> <br />Tapi, masih menurut Prof. Emil Salim, tindakan membakar hutan tidak menyertakan penghitungan biaya lingkungan hidup.<br /><br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/environmonster" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32x32.png" alt="" style="vertical-align:middle;border:0"/></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/environmonster" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1660835626181552208-3374238823870004627?l=antubanyu.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>syamnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660835626181552208.post-52069221981825242892007-07-19T05:33:00.000-07:002007-07-21T11:40:50.160-07:00Tanpa sengaja saya meng-klik sebuah menu di tampilan Mozilla Firefox di komputer. Tiba-tiba muncul sebuah tampilan berupa peta dunia, dengan 3 warna yang membentuk pola pada masing-masing negara di dunia.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_F-1eO4H-fzk/Rp9fx6hkxQI/AAAAAAAAADA/46YypDOK_yg/s1600-h/global-warming-simulation.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_F-1eO4H-fzk/Rp9fx6hkxQI/AAAAAAAAADA/46YypDOK_yg/s400/global-warming-simulation.jpg" border="0" alt="global warming"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5088891415080256770" /></a><br /><br />Masing-masing warna adalah, cokelat gelap, cokelat terang, dan merah sebagai penanda <strong>emisi karbon dioksida</strong> (CO₂). Ketiga warna secara berurutan menandakan, negara dengan emisi kurang dari 1000 ton CO₂, negara dengan emisi lebih dari 1000 ton CO₂, dan negara dengan emisi sekitar 1000 ton CO₂. <span class="fullpost"><br /><br />Yang menakjubkan tampilan data tersebut berubah-ubah dalam jangka waktu sepenghisapan napas. Seolah-olah bumi juga bernapas selayaknya manusia. Sungguh tepatlah situs ini menamai dirinya <a href="http://www.breathingearth.net/ "><strong>Breathing Earth</strong></a>, ‘Bumi yang Bernapas’.<br /><br />Selain menampilkan informasi emisi CO₂, <strong>Breathing Earth</strong> juga menampilkan informasi <strong>kelahiran dan kematian</strong> baik di skala dunia maupun di masing-masing negara.<br /><br />Meski mengaku menampilkan semua informasi ini ‘<em>in real time</em>’ dan mengklaim diolah dari sumber-sumber akurat dan termutakhir yang tersedia, sesungguhnya tampilan di situs ini cuma simulasi. Meski demikian, situs yang dikembangkan <strong>David Bleja</strong> ini sangat menarik untuk membayangkan apa kabar bumi hari ini.

Di Indonesia, pergantian musim berarti pergantian jenis <strong>bencana</strong>. <br /><br />Musim penghujan berarti banjir, tanah longsor, berikut bencana ikutannya seperti wabah disentri, gagal panen, dan lain sebagainya. Musim kemarau, sebaliknya. Bencana yang datang adalah kekeringan, kebakaran hutan dan lahan <strong>karhutla</strong>, dan yang paling diributkan dunia adalah bencana kabut asap.<span class="fullpost"><br /><br />Pulau penyumbang asap terbesar di Indonesia adalah Kalimantan dan Sumatera. Tak sulit melacak sejak kapan asap hasil kebakaran hutan mewabah di Indonesia. Sejak awal 1980-an. Setelah <strong>perkebunan skala besar</strong> dan <strong>Hutan Tanaman Industri</strong> diberikan 'ruang bermain' dan mengonversi hutan alam Indonesia.<br /><br />Lewatkan dulu soal kebakaran hutan terjadi berulang-ulang, setiap tahun, setiap kali musim penghujan berganti kemarau. Yang pasti di Sumatera, katakanlah Sumatera Selatan saja, jumlah titik panas (<em>hotspots</em>) yang merupakan penanda telah terjadi <strong>karhutla</strong>, terus meningkat seiring waktu.<br /><br />Harian <a href="http://www.kompas.co.id/kompas-cetak/0707/14/utama/3683408.htm">Kompas (14 Juli 2007)</a> menyebutkan, telah terpantau titik panas sepanjang bulan mei 2007. Bertambah menjadi 43 titik sepanjang bulan Juni. Jumlah hotspot pada bulan Juli, melesat menjadi lipat dua dibanding bulan Juni. Padahal bulan Juli baru berlangsung separuh waktu.<br /><br /><strong>Karhutla</strong> tak hanya menghanguskan hutan dan mahluk hidup di dalamnya. Juga memengaruhi dimensi lain. Transportasi menjadi terhambat karena memendeknya jarak pandang. Penduduk setempat maupun warga negara terganggu terancam mengalami gangguan kesehatan. Terutama kesehatan pernapasan.<br /><br />Maka wajar kalau negera-negara tetangga, macam Malaysia dan Singapura, memprotes Indonesia dalam penanganan <strong>karhutla</strong>. <br /><br /><H3>Sudah sampai mana asap karhutla <em>'made in Indonesia'</em>?</H3><br /><br />Asap Karhutla Indonesia berhembus sampai jauh. Malaysia sebagai negeri pelanggan asap Indonesia telah menerima dampaknya. Menurut <strong><a href="http://www.suarapembaruan.com/News/2007/07/03/Utama/ut01.htm">SUARA PEMBARUAN DAILY (3 Juli 2007)</a></strong>, asap karhutla dari Sumatera telah menurunkan kualitas udara di 5 negara bagian Malaysia, yaitu Selangor, Perak, Penang, Kedah, dan Perlis.<br /><br />Surat Kabar <a href="http://www.bangkokpost.com/"><strong>Bangkok Post</strong></a>, sebagaimana dilansir oleh <a href="http://www.sinarharapan.co.id/berita/0707/07/sh08.html"><strong>Koran Sinar Harapan (& Juli 2007)</strong></a> melaporkan asap karhutla dari Sumatera telah menyelimuti langit di bagian selatan Thailand. Provinsi yang terkena dampak asap paling parah adalah Songkhla dan Satun. <br /><br />Akibatnya, banyak warga propinsi <strong>Songkhla </strong>mengalami gangguan pernapasan. Sementara itu, di propinsi <strong>Satun</strong>, asap telah mengakibatkan jarak pandang menjadi terbatas. Kurang lebih 3 kilometer. <br /><br />Sementara, musim penghujan tampaknya masih lama akan tiba. <br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1660835626181552208-8314253841659768123?l=antubanyu.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>syamnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660835626181552208.post-34295194366778074132007-07-13T21:55:00.000-07:002007-08-09T23:03:18.296-07:00Memasuki musim kemarau tahun 2007 ini, <strong>kebakaran hutan</strong> dan di Sumatera Selatan meningkat. Berdasarkan pemantauan satelit National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), kemarin (Jumat 13 juli 2007), di Pulau <strong>Sumatera</strong> terpantau 30 titik panas (hotspots). Tiga di <U>Riau</U>, sisanya di <U>Sumatera Selatan</U>, <U>Jambi</U>, dan <U>Bengkulu</U>.<span class="fullpost"><br />Dalam bulan Juli ini, dimana baru 13 hari, di <strong>Sumatera Selatan</strong> sudah terpantau 85 titik panas. Lokasi kebakaran tersebar di 10 dari 15 kabupaten/kota. Kesepuluh kabupaten itu adalah Kabupaten Musi Banyuasin, Ogan Ilir, Banyuasin, Ogan Komering Ulu, Ogan Komering Ilir, Musi Rawas, Lahat, Prabumulih, Muara Enim, dan Palembang.<br /><br />Kepala Seksi Penanggulangan Kebakaran Hutan Dinas Kehutanan Sumsel Achmad Taufik mengatakan kepada Kompas, pembakaran hutan umumnya terjadi di lokasi yang sama dengan tahun sebelumnya.<br /><br />Sumber: <a href="http://www.kompas.com/kompas-cetak/0707/14/utama/3683408.htm"><strong>kompas, 14 Juli 2007</strong></a> <br /></span><br /><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/sumatra_environment_news" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon16x16.png" alt="" style="vertical-align:middle;border:0"/></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/sumatra_environment_news" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1660835626181552208-3429519436677807413?l=antubanyu.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>syamnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660835626181552208.post-5263780004178207162007-07-11T23:24:00.000-07:002007-08-25T07:12:38.926-07:00By: Syam Asinar Radjam & Syamsul Bahri Radjam<br /><br />The river Kelekar in Prabumulih, South Sumatera has acquired a new name. It is now also known as <U>'Kali Minyak'</U>, which means <U>river of oil</U>, a name given by new settlers coming into the area (mostly originating from Java). The new name is unsurprisingly suitable. It is nearly a century since the first oil exploration began in the area, thus it is hardly surprising that the flow of Kelekar river is now laden with crude oil (sludge) and water residue originating from oil processing operations by PERTAMINA.<br /><br />The pollution of the Kelekar river system and its surrounding area by <U>PERTAMINA</U> Operation Exploration and Production II (now known as Upstream Operation Area/DOH) of Prabumulih had ignited a wave of protests from the Prabumulih community in early 2000.<br /><br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><br />In 1907 (the Dutch Indies era), oil mining was first started by BPM (De Bataafshe Petroleum Maatschappij), a private Dutch company. Later on, with the arrival the Japanese (1942), management of the oil wells changed hands. Next on the line was PT Shell that took over straight away after the Japanese defeat. Not until sometime in 1948, PERMINA took control of the wells. Then, in the 1950's, PERMINA gradually turned into PERTAMINA.<br /><br />"We could only watch our suho gehedek (local tongue for natural wealth) taken away by the company (PERTAMINA), while what's left for us is only the excess (sludge)!" said a community member of Prabumulih village during several acts of protest in mid 2000 on the sludge dumping by PERTAMINA.<br /><br />This statement was the result of a series of <strong>damages </strong>and <strong>impacts</strong> suffered by the community living along the Kelekar river system and its surrounding area. The pollution has caused the severe drop in water quality and the extinction of the river biota that had been abundant. In fact, the Prabumulih traditional calendar system confirmed this fact since it is used to mention a tradition called 'nanggok berdusun' among its list of events, which was a tradition where an entire village would get together and communally gathered fish from the river.<br /><br />Furthermore, the waste also <strong>polluted</strong> the community's wells, destroyed local rice fields, and often seeped into community's rubber plantation, forest and 'Tanah Budal' (indigenous lands). The damages were worsened since the company's method in cleaning the river from oil was to burn it off by setting the river ablaze.<br /><br />After protests made by communities and local organization (Solidarity for Prabumulih Environment) together with Walhi South Sumatra, Palembang Legal Aid Foundation, and IMPALM Foundation, PERTAMINA finally admitted their fault in polluting the river Kelekar and agreed to fulfill the 10 community's demands. The company has realized three of those demands during the course of year 2000 up to mid 2001.<br /><br />These three demands are for the company to:<br /><OL><br /><L1>Cease polluting Kelekar river,<br /><L1>Provide clean water resources for the community (drilled wells, clean water tanks, well and clothes-washing area for community on the river bank).<br /><L1>Support capacity development of local human resources (scholarships, training, course, etc).<br /></OL><br />While the other 7 points, yet to be realized, are for the company to:<br /><OL><br /><L1>Rehabilitate the Kelekar river system and catchment area,<br /><L1>Reforestate the Kelekar river system and catchment area,<br /><L1>Pay compensation for all damages done,<br /><L1>Provide free Health Care Service for the local community,<br /><L1>Apologize according to local traditions<br /><L1>Build and renovate places of worship (mosques)<br /><L1>Build and renovate the village hall.<br /></OL><br />Unfortunately, PERTAMINA has always considered all <strong>pollution</strong> caused by their activity in Prabumulih as past collective mistakes. They seemed to display lack of seriousness in following through with their commitment to stop polluting the river since several incidents of pollution still occurred even after the agreement was signed.<br /><br />The community further urged the company to restore the environmental quality of the area and to acknowledge the community's rights on their natural resources by coming out with several demands, among others were:<br /><OL><br /><L1>The implementation of strict liability and the restoration of PERTAMINA's production units so that the oil exploitation process will no longer cause grief and damages for the local community.<br /><L1>Community should be given the opportunity to be fully involved in any decision making process of the company.<br /><L1>Community is still waiting for the further understanding of the company's promises as agreed upon within the agreement by both parties.<br /></OL><br />WRITTEN BY: Syam Asinar Radjam (Coordinator of City Pollution Division of WALHI of South Sumatra), and Syamsul Bahri Radjam, SH (Staff of Natural Resources Division of Palembang Legal Aid Foundation, South Sumatera), 2001.<br />published by KEREBOK Advocacy Mining Network (<a href="http://jatam.org">JATAM</a>), Volume 3, Number 13, August 2001 dan Minergy News<br /></span><br /><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/sumatra_environment_news" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon16x16.png" alt="" style="vertical-align:middle;border:0"/></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/sumatra_environment_news" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1660835626181552208-526378000417820716?l=antubanyu.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>syamnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660835626181552208.post-66517950012452624362007-07-11T12:40:00.001-07:002007-08-25T07:18:15.976-07:00Oleh: Syam Asinar Radjam1]<br /><br />Awal tahun 2005 lalu, berlangsung sebuah pertemuan penting di Graha Budaya, Jakabaring, Palembang, Sumatera Selatan. Seminar ini diikuti oleh paling tidak 300 peserta mungkin tak dapat disebut sebagai seminar biasa? <br /><br />Yang membuatnya menjadi bukan seminar biasa, sebuah perhelatan yang perlu disikapi, adalah karena seminar yang menjadi media bertukar pendapat antar para pengusaha sektor energi, institusi keuangan, konsultan maupun kontraktor energi, perwakilan negara tetangga, maupun lembaga pemerintahan pada level propinsi dan kabupaten/kota. Dari daftar yang didapat penulis para pembicara yang diundang juga tidak tanggung-tanggung, meliputi Gubernur, Menteri, para pimpinan BUMN maupun CEO perusahaan energi swasta.<span class="fullpost"><br /><br />Asosiasi Jurnalis Cinta Sumsel yang menggelar perhelatan ini. Semangatnya adalah menyambut peluang investasi di sektor energi seiring dicanangkannya propinsi ini sebagai 'Lumbung Energi Nasional' oleh Presiden RI. Tentu topik seminar yang diangkat adalah seputar arah dan skema pengembangan (sektor energi) sumsel yang menghormati produk kebijakan menyangkut pengembangan dan penanaman modal di sektor energi, strategi bisnis yang dibuat beberapa BUMN Sumsel, dan pengalaman para penanam modal dan perusahaan di Sumsel.<br /><br />Menanggapi pencanangan Sumsel sebagai 'Lumbung Energi Nasional', alih-alih bangga, penulis malah kuatir dan bercuriga. Penamaan Lumbung Energi Nasional hanyalah penamaan positif dari Wilayah Perahan Energi Nasional.<br /><br />* * *<br /><br /><B>Potensi Sumberdaya Energi Sumsel</B><br /><br />Energi yang disinggung dalam tulisan ini harus dipahami sebagai energi fosil (batubara, minyak bumi, gas bumi, panas bumi), tidak termasuk sumberdaya energi terbarukan (air, matahari, angin, biodisel) atau kayu bakar. <br /><br />Cekungan Sumsel mengandung lebih dari separoh cadangan batubara nasional atau sekitar 20 milyar ton2]. Potensi tersebut tersebar di setiap kabupaten di Sumsel, yaitu di Muara Enim, Musi Banyuasin, Lahat, Musi Rawas, Ogan Komering Ulu, dan Ogan Komering Ilir. Ada sekitar 40 lokasi potensi batu bara yang tersebar di enam kabupaten itu. <br /><br /><blockquote>Hingga ada pameo yang mengatakan, di mana pun orang berdiri di wilayah Sumsel pasti akan menginjak batu bara.</blockquote> <br /><br />Tanah Sriwijaya ini memang merupakan wilayah yang paling kaya batubara di daratan Sumatera.<br /><br />Badan Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Migas Jakarta memperkirakan cadangan minyak bumi 711.81 miliar barel dan gas bumi 21,23 TCF (per 30 Desember 2003). Potensi minyak dan gas bumi (migas) yang diperkirakan 10 persen dari total potensi migas Indonesia. Begitu besarnya potensi sumber daya energi fosil, menjadikan Sumsel sebagai salah satu wilayah ekstraksi dan industri energi fosil terbesar di Indonesia hingga tidak aneh jika sidang Dewan Pertimbangan Otonomi Daerah tanggal 15 Maret 2004 menetapkan Sumatera Selatan sebagai daerah penghasil minyak bumi terbesar tahun 2004, selain Kalimantan Timur. Hingga posisi 1 Januari 2000, dari 5,12 miliar barel cadangan terbukti minyak di Indonesia, 2,63 miliar barel di antaranya berada di Sumatra Tengah (termasuk Riau), Sumatra Selatan 512,1 juta barel, dan Kalimantan Timur (Kaltim) 665,8 juta barel3]. <br /><br />Sedangkan untuk gas bumi, dari 94,7 triliun kaki kubik cadangan terbukti hingga periode tersebut, 28,8 triliun kaki kubik di antaranya berada di Kaltim, Sumsel dan Sumatra Tengah masing-masing 7,5 triliun kaki kubik. <br /><br />Dalam tulisan ini, penulis mencoba lebih melihat ke sektor minyak bumi dan gas bumi yang kaya dengan permasalahan yang vital untuk diperbaiki secara fundamental dan radikal. Perubahan fundamental dan radikal tersebut harusnya mendahului pengembangan dan penyambutan terhadap investasi yang masuk di sektor ini. Sebab kita tidak boleh berbangga saja dengan banyaknya jumlah minyak dan gas bumi yang diekspor. Sebab, dalil sederhananya adalah semakin banyak kita membuang (energi) ke luar semakin banyak kita kehilangan! Sementara para investor luar luar negeri datang dari negara yang menerapkan pencadangan dan penyimpanan sumberdaya energi negara mereka untuk memenuhi kebutuhan generasi mereka mendatang.<br /><br />Buramnya pengelolaan sumberdaya energi sumsel dapat dirunut dari beberapa fakta berikut:<br /><br /><B>[1] Transparansi dan Korupsi</B><br /><br />Merujuk pada UU No 25/1999 tentang perimbangan keuangan pusat dan daerah diberlakukan, propinsi Sumatera Selatan bakal mendapat pemasukan Rp 250 milyar per tahun. Perolehan itu didapat dari asumsi kontribusi minyak dan gas Sumsel terhadap nasional tahun 1997 sebesar tiga persen dari total penerimaan nasional sektor minyak bumi sebesar Rp 22 trilyun dan empat persen untuk gas dari penerimaan Rp 8 trilyun. Sementara Migas Sumsel Watch (Sripo, 2 Feb 2005) menyatakan sinyalemen publik tidak dapat mengetahui berapa banyak migas yang diangkut keluar dari daerah mereka setiap hari atau setiap bulannya.<br /><br />Di sisi lain, tindak pencurian uang negara melalui korupsi dan pemborosan disektor migas demikian tinggi. Konsultan PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) pernah mencatat, selama periode 1996-1998, inefisiensi di tubuh Pertamina mencapai US$ 4,6 miliar. Ini jelas angka yang luar biasa besar. Jumlah kasus yang dilaporkan berindikasikan korupsi, kolusi, dan nepotisme (KKN) juga tidak tanggung-tanggung, sebanyak 159 kasus yang kemudian mendorong DPR membuat Pansus Pertamina pada tahun 2001. Salah satu kasus yang terjadi di Sumatera Selatan adalah kasus Technical Assistance Contract (TAC) antara Pertamina dengan PT Ustraindo Petro Gas. Kasus ini yang merugikan negara US 23,3 juta dollar (lebih dari Rp 184 miliar), ini melibatkan mantan Mentamben Ginandjar Kartasasmita.<br />Kasus korupsi paling spektakuler di sektor ini adalah ketika Ibnu Sutowo mewariskan utang US$10,5 miliar di tahun 1975 yang nyaris membangkrutkan Indonesia, sebab penerimaan negara dari minyak saat itu hanya US$6 miliar. <br /><br />Satu hal yang sering luput adalah peluang KKN melalui proses pengadaan barang dan jasa melalui proses lelang yang biasanya sudah 'terkendali'.<br /><br /> <br /><B>[2] Konflik dan bencana</B> <br /><br />Proses eksploitasi migas tak luput dari persoalan konflik (perusahaan vis a vis buruh, atau perusahaan vis a vis masyarakat lokal) dan beragam bencana (lingkungan hidup dan kemanusiaan). Lembaga advokasi lingkungan dan hukum di Sumsel (sebutlah LBH Palembang dan Walhi Sumsel) pastilah mencatat banyak hal atas kasus-kasus tersebut. Konflik dan perselisihan industrial yang terjadi umumnya karena tidak terjadi hubungan yang etis dan proper antara perusahaan dan buruh dalam pengakuan dan pemenuhan hak-hak normatif kelompok buruh. <br /><br />Di satu sisi pemerintah gagal melindungi hak hak tersebut. Konflik antara perusahaan dan masyarakat lokal sebagian besar terjadi pada saat pembebasan lahan, aktivitas eksplorasi tanpa sosialisasi (baca tanpa sepengetahuan pemilik lahan), atau merupakan buah dari akumulasi pencemaran dan pengrusakan lingkungan akibat aktivitas penambangan migas. Diantara konflik yang didahului oleh pengrusakan lingkungan hidup adalah konflik antara Pertamina OEP Prabumulih (sekarang Pertamina DOH sumsel) di tahun 2000an dengan masyarakat tepian sungai kelekar Prabumulih, dan konflik Kelompok Air Hidup (petani desa Sinar Rambang) dengan PT Seaunion Energy. <br /><br />Bencana lingkungan dan bencana kemanusiaan akibat aktivitas eksploitasi migas juga tak kunjung berhenti di Sumsel. Pencemaran sungai maupun sumber air masyarakat oleh minyak mentah, air terproduksi bahkan lumpur minyak, kebakaran hutan dan kebun, kerusakan ekosistem, bahkan sampai merenggut nyawa manusia. <br /><br />Salah satunya adalah kebocoran gas milik PT Exspan Nusantara di desa Babat Musi Banyuasin pada tanggal 26 Mei 2002 yang menyebabkan kematian 4 warga desa Babat. Sayang sekali tindakan pidana lingkungan yang terjadi tidak pernah sampai memberi sanksi secara hukum kepada para pelaku. <br /> <br /><B>[3] Krisis Energi dan Kemiskinan</B><br /><br />Sumsel adalah daerah yang menarik untuk diteropong sejauhmana proses pengerukan sumber daya energi yang berlangsung membawa segenap manfaat terhadap hajat hidup masyarakatnya. Justru Ironis. Daerah pemilik potensi sumber daya energi fosil berupa minyak, gas dan batu bara justru harus mengalami krisis energi berkepanjangan. <br /><br />Pemadaman listrik menjadi kenyataan sehari-hari. Sepanjang tahun 2004 pemadaman aliran listrik secara bergilir terjadi setidaknya pada bulan Februari, April, Juli, Agustus dan November dapat dikatakan sepanjang tahun terjadi pemadaman aliran listrik. Kondisi aliran listrik yang masih byar pet itu mengganggu aktivitas masyarakat di Palembang dan sekitarnya. Didampingi LBH Palembang, konsumen listrik di Palembang akhirnya mengajukan gugatan perwakilan (class action) ke pengadilan. <br /><br /><blockquote>Hasilnya... pihak Penggugat kalah.</blockquote><br /> <br />Sementara krisis energi terus berlangsung sumber-sumber energi dieksploitasi secara berlebihan, namun tidak untuk kebutuhan daerah sendiri. Hasil eksploitasi itu mengalir keluar Sumatera Selatan. Gas misalnya, melalui jaringan pipanisasi gas dari Sumsel-Jambi-Batam berakhir ke Singapura. Pipa gas sepanjang 470 Km, mengalirkan gas alam sebanyak 350-600 juta standar kaki kubik per hari (MMSCFD), untuk suplai pembangkit tenaga listrik di Singapura. <br /><br />Cadangan batu bara Sumsel mencapai 22 miliar ton, tidak kurang dari 24.000 ton per hari batu bara dari tambang bukit asam sejak tahun 1984 rutin diangkut diangkut ke Suralaya, untuk memasok pembangkit listrik disana (Sripo, 30 Desember 2002). Melalui proyek pipanisasi ke Jawa Barat Sumsel akan memenuhi 60% kebutuhan energi Jakarta dan Jawa Barat. Ai, cacam...<br /><br />Menyedihkan, wilayah ini selain harus menanggung dampak eksploitasi energi, berupa kerusakan lingkungan, dampak sosial ekonomi dan dampak turunan lainnya namun rakyatnya tidak menikmati hasil dari itu semua. Menurut data Badan Pusat Statistik Sumsel (2002), jumlah penduduk miskin terbanyak di Sumatera Selatan saat ini justru terdapat di daerah "terkaya", yaitu daerah Musi Banyuasin. <br /><br />Jumlah penduduk miskin di daerah kaya dengan potensi utama pertambangan, perkebunan, dan kehutanan ini tercatat 381.200 jiwa. Di sisi lain, beberapa kompleks perumahan karyawan perusahaan migas telah luruh seiring dengan menipisnya cadangan migas, sementara masyarakat lokal yang masih tinggal di kawasan yang sumberdaya alamnya telah tersedot.<br /><br /><blockquote>Proses dehumanisasi dan pemiskinan memang selalu berlangsung di tempat kaya sumberdaya alam.</blockquote> <br /><br /><B>Berangkat Dengan Pijakan yang Jelas</B><br /><br />Menarik untuk mengulas topik seminar 'Sumatera Selatan sebagai Provinsi Energy'. Ditarik ke pernyataan Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono di kompas (10 November 2004) "Provinsi Sumatera Selatan akan didorong menjadi lumbung energi kelistrikan nasional. Caranya, membangun infrastruktur yang mengandalkan kekayaan sumber daya alam di wilayah tersebut, terutama gas, batu bara, dan air. Diharapkan, energi yang diperoleh dapat dioptimalkan untuk mengatasi kelangkaan pasokan energi listrik di Sumsel, di samping menyumbang energi ke wilayah lain di Sumatera dan Jawa."<br /><br />Jaringan Advokasi Tambang (JATAM, 2005) menengarai bahwa konsep yang dinyatakan Presiden RI tersebut mengandung konsekuensi logis pada eskalasi laju ekstraksi sumber daya energi fosil di Sumsel dan gencarnya pembangunan infrastruktur pendukungnya. Kondisi ini dapat dipastikan menimbulkan masalah di sekitar lokasi pembangunan seperti konflik lahan, alih fungsi dan masalah sosial ekonomi. Disamping itu, berdampak besar pada kelestarian lingkungan. <br /><br />Selain itu juga berpotensi mengakibatkan kesalahurusan secara besar ketika semangat sedot terus lalu ekspor, bukan tidak mungkin berimplikasi pada kekurangan bahan baku pupuk (PUSRI) dan industri domestik di wilayah Sumsel seperti yang diderita industri pupuk di Aceh. Bukan tidak mungkin hasil migas sumsel justru akan lebih dipakai untuk memenuhi kebutuhan luar Sumsel. <br /><br />Patut diingat, untuk sektor gas bumi saja, sampai 2002 eksploitasi gas bumi masih dikuasai oleh perusahaan multinasional, hingga 86 persen produksi total Indonesia. Kondisi ini menyebabkan Indonesia hanya menjadi sumber produksi untuk mengisi jaringan pasar mereka yang ada di sejumlah tempat di dunia. <br /><br /> <br />Mengingat perhelatan besar yang terjadi hari ini di Sumsel sangat penting maka beberapa catatan yang perlu kita perhatikan bersama adalah menghentikan penerapan konsep melayani modal dalam konteks pengelolaan sumber daya alam. Watak melayani Modal yang membuat para investor dimanjakan dan terlindungi oleh kebijakan negara.<br /><br />Saatnya bijak mengelola sumberdaya energi [migas], meski tidak mudah untuk memperbaiki persoalan disektor ini, mengingat silang sengkarutnya carut marut. Tetapi penulis yakin bahwa dengan berkumpulnya banyak cerdik pandai dan beritikad baik Graha Budaya Jakabaring 26 Februari ini, minimal mampu mendorong beberapa hal antar lain: <br /><br /><OL> <br /><LI> Mendorong berlangsungnya kajian ulang kebijakan untuk melakukan sinkronisasi kebijakan antar sektor, <br /><LI> tersusunnya strategi pencadangan sumberdaya energi untuk generasi mendatang, <br /><LI> penghitungan ulang (rekalkulasi) sumberdaya enegi Sumsel, <br /><LI> penghitungan konsumsi dasar berdasarkan kebutuhan mendesak masyarakat sumsel dan keadilan <br />antar generasi, <br /><LI> penghitungan ulang daya rusak eksploitasi terhadap kemampuan alam memulihkannya, menetapkan ambang toleransi pengerukan kekayaan sumberdaya energi, <br /><LI> penyelesaian konflik antara perusahaan, masyarakat lokal, buruh, dan pemerintah sehubungan dengan aktivitas pertambangan yang mengorbankan masyarakat lokal dan buruh, <br /><LI> terwujudnya akses informasi bagi masyarakat, pengembangan eknologi ramah lingkungan serta teknologi lokal.<br /></OL> <br />Setelah pijakannya jelas, barulah kita membincangkan bagaimana investasi masuk.<br /><br />* * *<br /><br /><a href="http://technorati.com/claim/yfnqdkxiuj" rel="me">Technorati Profile</a><br />----------------------------------------<br /><br />1] Syam Asinar Radjam, penikmat wacana pengelolaan sumberdaya alam Sumsel, <br />mengelola web-blog pribadi http://www.dusunlaman.blogspot.com dan http://antubanyu.blogspot.com<br /><br />2] Kompas Rabu, 29 November 2000 Batu Bara, Energi Alternatif Masa Depan<br /><br />3] Bisnis Indonesia 15/03/2004 Sumsel & Kaltim jadi penghasil minyak terbesar<br /><br /></span><br /><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/sumatra_environment_news" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon16x16.png" alt="" style="vertical-align:middle;border:0"/></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/sumatra_environment_news" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1660835626181552208-6651795001245262436?l=antubanyu.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>syamnoreply@blogger.com0
