Conclusion

I have learnt many things thoughout the exhibition. I can't believe it's gonna be in 3 more days! These are the few things I have learnt thoughout the exhibition.

  • Near factories, people could feel vibrations, smoke, and even floods due to the factory working.

  • Farts contain Carbon Dixoide!

  • Trees absorbs Carbon Dioxide and releases out Oxygen for us to breathe in a process called photosynthesis.

  • Cars DO NOT always releases Carbon Dioxide. Infact, the produce Carbon Monoxide.

  • Indonesia is the third biggest carbon dioxide emmiter in the world after China and USA.

  • Carbon DIoxide DO affect where people live.

  • People who live near factories are really concerned and they protested for a few times until the factory will listen.

Our Action


We are going to give out FREE small trees in small pots to the people in exhibition for them to plant in their houses. These trees would have a sticker on the pot that says: I am saving the world...coz I have a tree in my backyard but we have to check it with Ibu Maytha ;-)... We are planing to buy 100 trees on the people who sell trees near the road. We are going to buy just small trees that are cheap but really affects the environment. We thought this is a good and a fun idea because the people could have fun planting trees while they save their local environment.


The problems that we are facing is the budget but we hope our parents would understand that we need money to buy trees and it is important. We estimated that we need to spend about 200.000. (if anyone in our school wants to give donations, we accept it!) We are going to do this on the weekends and bring it to the exhibition. Ofcourse, during the weekend, we have to water it.

Goodyear

This is the picture of the Goodyear factory I took from google earth.






From the front of the factory it looks quite small but when I saw it in google eart, It seemed quite big. If you want to find it in google earth, you can go to Bogor and find Stadium Padjajaran. The factory is accross the stadium. (you can see there is a field near the factory.


This is the photo of the surrounding area which we went to interview people. (also taken from google earth)
