17. Name : Abdul Halim Age : 27 years old Occupation: KIARA (environment NGO) researcher Phone number: +62 815 53100 259 Abdul Halim is 27 years old man working as researcher at KIARA (environment NGO). In his perspective, until today his life and his surroundings are not yet environmentally friendly and his concern mainly rely on the water pollution especially polluted river in Jakarta and how Jakarta’s people don’t have the awareness of keeping their river clean. When asked the most responsible party of the water pollution, he said all parties including individual, NGO, private company but most importantly, the government. He sees government should be the leader to drive the change, because at the end, whatever program did by the NGO, private company or individual, government is the one who has the bigger power to drive change in society. For example, government can establish rules that give fine punishment for those who throw away garbage in the river. This kind of rules proved to be effective for disseminating seatbelt usage while driving, so it can be applied in environmental issue as well. He also appreciate the programs did by government such as Rantai Emas (beach rehabilitation) and Proper (program that evaluates private company waste). Besides being researcher in KIARA, in his personal live he tries to protecting the environment by being paperless or if it’s urgent, he will use waste paper. He always interested to participate in environmental campaign, especially is it’s related to water pollution such as stop polluting 13 rivers in Jakarta movement. Environment NGO

19. Q And A Social Media (Facebook & Twitter)

20. Q : What are the main barriers of implementing green living in Jakarta ? There is no collective consciousness, if only one or two people, it’ll be difficult to make changes Society paradigm Government does not assertive in implementing the urban planning Throwing away rubbish not in the rubbish can Government inconsistency and commitment for the green living itself Selfish culture in society, if there is no direct impact, people just don’t care Twitter

21. No consciousness from society of the danger and long-term impact of environmental damage There’s no party who consistently facilitate and educate society to care for environment. Throwing away rubbish on trash can is very easy to do, but by seeing other people not doing it, then it becomes a habit. Facebook (Personal) Q (in general) : What are the main barriers of implementing green living in Jakarta?

22. Facebook (Nature lover organization fan page) All responsible has to be on all of the society, air pollution, maintain city park, clear water are one of the main issue, we need to have more planting movement. City landscaping not well organize by government so its make water absorption is not doing very well one of the big problem that cause floating every where in Jakarta. But this not only government responsibility but also all society. Q (in general) : What are the main barriers of implementing green living in Jakarta? and who resposible for doing that ?
