The issue of Global Warming and Climate Change (Climate Change) is no longer just a figment, but has shown its true shape and form presented to mankind on earth with the earth's increasingly uncomfortable as a residence or dwelling creatures. Various natural phenomena which tend to have irregularities (anomalies) lately as a chaotic climate, prolonged Extreme heat, rainfall intensity is too high outside the normal, flood, hurricane, tornado, many associated with the global warming issue. It is not false and exaggerated when looking at the facts and research findings of experts who indicate that there is a tendency of concentration of greenhouse gases like CO2 in the atmosphere has limits too, who constantly spewed from the earth, where the day number and concentration continue to soar , and was highly positively correlated with increasing human activities on Earth are generated from various activities such as household (including institutional / office / hospital / school / college), industry, transportation, and others.
Various forms of anticipation or circumvent the form of mitigation and adaptation as a form of concern has spawned a variety of programs and environmental movements in the fight against global warming, either in the form of environmental programs initiated by the government (read: the Ministry of Environment), environmental movements Environmental NGOs, Environmental Education in schools, boarding school and college, campaigning, education, socialization, etc.. One of the environmental program lately mainly aimed at higher education environment is the so-called eco-campus programs (Green Campus). Basically, a variety of environmental programs that the government made no exception eco-campus is voluntary (voluntary) and a stimulus program, where no element of coercion or pressure from the government. Thus the expected is emerging and terbangunnnya awareness and concern for their own campus residents in maintaining environmental sustainability. Likewise, the campus as a gathering place for intellectuals and the birth of the nation's next generation of young intellectuals are expected to be a model or example for other institutions in environmental management is good.

Green Campus
Eco-campus programs are basically motivated by, among others, that, the campus is expected to be a comfortable place, clean, shaded (green), a beautiful and healthy in science draw; Then the campus environment as an integral part of urban ecosystems is not small role and its contribution to improving and in reducing global warming. In addition, a no less important is how the campus community to implement science and technology fields in a Real Environment. Therefore, Eco-Campus program is aimed to raise awareness and concern of the campus community as a collection of scientific community to participate and be responsible in reducing Global Warming.
Understanding the term Eco-Campus / Green Campus in the context of environmental conservation is not just a campus environment that is filled with green trees or campuses that are satisfied by the Green Cat, or perhaps by coincidence Jacket alma mater campus in question is green, but further than that meaning contained in the eco-campus is the extent to which citizens can take advantage of campus resources available in the campus environment effectively and efficiently, for example in the use of paper, stationery, use of Electricity, Water, Land, Waste Management, etc.. Where all these activities can be created balance and can be measured in both quantitative monthly or yearly period.
Indicators Green Campus
Therefore, the eco-campus program there are several indicators or parameters that can be used as a measure of whether the campus has actually been reached as eco-campus or a Green Campus. The Measures of success is determined by several factors, among others:
- Efficient use of paper as the basic teaching
- Efficiency of waste management in the implementation of education and teaching
- Efficiency of use of land as green open space and aesthetic (landscape)
- Efficiency of electricity use
- Water use efficiency
- Efficiency of resource usage
- Global warming reduction efforts contribute

Waste Management
Campus as an Institution whose function is primarily organized process of education and teaching, research and community service, of course, in all its activities can not be separated from the use of paper that is quite a lot. It must be admitted that the conditions that exist so far has shown that almost all agencies / institutions at both the governmental and private educational institutions are no exception very wasteful in paper usage. This not only will have an impact on increasing the volume of waste generated in urban areas directly, which in turn will shorten the life of the landfill, but also indirectly this will waste the use of forest resources (timber).
The destruction by burning of waste paper like that commonly done is not solving waste problems, the contrary would create new problems of air pollution, with the release of carbon dioxide gas can lead to increased global warming. Therefore, in the campus environment is expected to be available trash bins while waste segregation efforts between organic and inorganic. Application of the concept of 4 R (Reduce, Recycle, Reuse and Repair or Recovery) is the right choice and wise in dealing with waste problems, including in the campus environment.
Land Use
Efficiency of land use in the campus environment also require attention. Ideally there should be a balance between the area of the building with a green open space. Campus at least 30% of land should be used as a green open space (green space). During this time there is a trend that many lands in the campus environment that has not been used optimally, and even tended to be abandoned or left as bare land (sleeping land) or the space is lost (lost space). And if the land is used for various kinds of plants, including productive plants such as fruits will provide a double benefit. On one side of the plant can recycling CO2 gases in the air, while producing fresh air (oxygen) which gives comfort to the surrounding environment, which means that also will reduce global warming, on the other side of fruit trees can provide added value to the economy for the citizens of campus / community . Besides, with the vegetation / plants can provide aesthetic value / its own beauty to the campus.

Besides, with the vegetation / plants can provide aesthetic value / its own beauty to the campus.
Energy Use
The use of electrical energy is also one of the indicators used in assessing whether a campus has environmentally sound or not. It is very closely related to the issue of global warming itself. So far most of the main energy source of man on earth is more focused on the use of fossil fuels (BBF), such as petroleum, gas, and coal which obviously has a lot to produce greenhouse gases like CO2, and has provided the largest contribution to the warming global. In addition, given the BBF is stored energy, so the stock can be estimated in the bowels of the earth, which can only be used for several years to come. For that, necessary measures efficiency in their use of energy while continuing to develop environmentally friendly alternatives such as solar energy (solar cell) continuous flow and will not run out during the sun still shines, Water Energy, Wind Energy, Bio-fuels Geothermal (geothermal), etc..
Water Utilization
Water Utilization
Similarly with the use of natural resources such as water. Water is vital needs of humans and living things sharing. Water use by humans there is a tendency continually increased both quantitatively and qualitatively, both urban and rural areas and demonstrate the use of which tend to be wasteful. Although quantitatively the relative amount of water on earth is not reduced, but the quality of many water sources that have experienced contamination, both surface water and ground water. Utilization of surface water (eg river water) as a source of clean water today not only require extra processing to the technology, but also requires a fairly high cost. Not surprisingly, the selling price by PDAM water also tends to increase continuously.
Exploitation of groundwater, especially as a source of artesian well water and drinking water not only affects the depletion of groundwater, but also can lead to declining soil surface (land subsidence) as experienced by many big cities like Jakarta today, where further will have an impact on sea water intrusion. With the symptoms decrease soil surface will continue to facilitate entry into the inland sea water more commonly known as sea flood (rob), especially more nowadays there is a trend that indicates that the volume of sea water continuously increasing due to the melting of ice at the poles as the impact of warming Global's going on, which will facilitate the sinking of the land.
Therefore, water use efficiency is very important to do by all citizens in the campus environment is no exception. Saving water for example can be done by way of reuse water that has been used by using the technology of re-circulation of water as it has been stout used by other institutions. So the remaining water that has been used for various purposes such as the bathroom, kitchen, etc.. are recovered in an integrated pool cleaning, which is then reused. In addition, the existing land can also be used as recharge wells or biopori to accommodate the rain water that falls for is not in vain as the water flows to the sea surface and discarded. Rain water can then fill in soil water, then stored as a water supply during the dry season arrives.
Various parameters / indicators as described above is essentially compiled on the basis of scientific considerations mainly associated with natural phenomena and the facts that occurred that is currently undergoing environmental degradation and human damages are extraordinary, as well as the occurrence rate of depreciation of natural resources with a high enough intensity that lead to the emergence of Global Warming. Therefore, the program also aims to preserve the environment and the efforts of the utilization efficiency of natural resources and environment, which in turn is expected to minimize or reduce global warming. It should we as citizens who live in campus environments educated scientific community is always responsive and responsible in addressing the various issues around us and become an example / model, not least the environmental problems like Global Warming / Global Warming which is haunting us who could threaten the continuation of Earth and Life us.
Why do we not act to get started ?
