 Green School, Friends for Earth

   

Thesis

School is where learning , teaching and educating students. School can form a better personality students. Much to lesson in school, one example of environmental education. Environmental  education can form the personality of the student aware of the environment. Environmental  education course should be practiced starting from the smallest. For example create a green school. green school is a neighborhood school with a lot of overgrown plants and many of the benefits for the preservation of the earth. In realizing a green school is certainly not easy because of many parties involved. 

Arguments

Green schools have a broader meaning, ie not only the physical appearance of a green school, but being a school that has programs and educational activities leading to environmental awareness and wisdom. School as an institution to educate and inculcate a positive culture has a strategic function in changing the paradigm of thinking is wrong, that the natural is only used for  economic  assets without regard to cause and effect.  Human being Able to think like that because they had no awareness of the environment and not think of exploitation.

            Needed here is a green school. The green school embodiment can be incorporated into the school program because many parties are involved, ranging from students, teachers and government. examples of green schools program was implemented at my school SMAN 1 Cileungsi is the planting of a thousand flowers. Embodiment of a thousand flowers planting is not easy. If individuals haven’t  awareness for the environment, planting a thousand flowers will be useless and will not last long.

            Green schools can produce oxygen and provide coolness in the school itself or can donate a little green area in the center of illegal logging. with the help of the government to increase the number of green schools through legislation or local regulations. With a green school, students will immediately take an active role in preserving our environment and is expected to increase students' awareness of the environment so that one day they will be the ones who can protect the earth or a friend for earth.

Recommendation

Green schools can also provide comfort to enhance the students' enthusiasm for learning and a more conducive atmosphere for learning. Such as planting a thousand flowers in SMAN 1 Cileungsi  can change the atmosphere of the school to be better than ever. Therefore we have to support green schools and environmental awareness. Especially when this greenhouse effect and natural disasters that can destroy the Earth. Don't let the view that wealth natural is economic assets. And don’t let planting  thousand flowers do not last long due to low awareness of the environment.
