editor's letter Written by Daniella Renatta Citra

"We only have one planet," Leonardo DiCaprio says. Despite this, many of us live as if we can do whatever we like to it. Our air, lands, and water bodies are all part of this ecosystem. These components are essential to the different plants and animals that surround us.

We have a tendency to regard the environment as different and distinct from ourselves. But humans are an important element of the planet's biodiversity. We have the potential to change the world in ways that other animals do not. Pollution, the use of fossil fuels, and the invasion of natural areas are all harmful to our environment. We must evaluate how our human agenda impacts all other lifeforms that share our environment.

The consequences of climate inaction are becoming increasingly evident. The rapid loss of biodiversity is of great concern. The worldwide community has recently increased its awareness of the links between environmental deterioration and human rights violations. Given the devastating environmental catastrophes occurring all over the world that harm Earth's inhabitants, it is imperative that everyone sees the environment as a moral problem that implies a moral obligation to safeguard it.

As our generation continues to grow and bloom, we all must begin to take responsibility for the effects our species has had on the environment. In this issue of Eunoia magazine, a variety of articles are featured, addressing the importance of conserving our ecosystem and becoming more responsible of our actions.

ECOCAMP

Eco Learning Camp or Eco Camp foundation is an educational foundation with the vision of “qualified human beings caring for and learning from the Earth”.

Eco Camp teaches environmental education for students through experiential learning, like how to build a personal connection and experience with the environment, through meditation, mindfulness, and games.

Eco Camp was founded in 2014 by Romo Ferry, who currently serves as head of the foundation, and 11 others.

Romo Ferry was a doctoral graduate from Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, majoring in the value of education.

He created the original concept of Eco Camp while studying for his dissertation. He had the commendable idea of integrating environmental values into an organization, which eventually became what we know today as Eco Camp.

It is not a simple job to create a program that is suitable for young people, especially during the first year of the pandemic, when schools and offline activities were being shut down. Eco Camp had to find a way to deliver their program online, while also struggling to make a positive impact for the village they are situated in. This issue arose from the lack of interest shown by the youth population of that village, as well as conflicting mindsets from its people The programme Eco Camp offers varies from customer to customer, as Eco Camp usually has groups of people joining their programmes, and they will adjust it based on the customer’s needs.

They believe that environmental issues are not always a priority for everyone, which is why it is important for them to know the individuals involved, and adapt to their needs.

To give a positive impact on the environment, Eco Camp educates their participants on environmental topics, and conducts practical activities such as recycling inorganic waste in collaboration with Bank Sampah Bersinar. It encourages locals nearby to collect and separate their waste, which will then be collected by Eco Camp every Friday. Eco Camp also trains hundreds of teachers and environmental pioneers in several provinces of Indonesia to create environmental projects in their areas.

OSIS Event Recap Written by Gabriella & Shane On the 22nd of April 2022, OSIS held a special celebration that combined two events, Earth Day and Kartini Day. Although these two events are quite different, OSIS made the combination smooth. For Earth Day, there were two speakers - one from Sea Soldier and another from Ecocamp.

Both of them have the goal of making the Earth a much cleaner and safer place to live in, which is very important for the younger generations. Kartini Day is a day celebrating the struggles and triumphs of Lady Kartini, who advocated for women's rights in Indonesia. To commemorate this, the mothers of Celine of Grade 8 and Rhea of Grade 9 were interviewed to share their views on Kartini and on women's emancipation. Moreover, as Ramadan - the commemoration of Muhammad’s first revelation - was fast approaching, OSIS also did another event. This saw a few of our OSIS teammates from different departments working together to arrange and stack parcels sending generous amounts of food for people to celebrate Ramadan. These are the pics of the events from Nelson of the JP department. eunoia-10

NON-GOVERMENTAL ORGANIZATION

AN ENVIRONMENTAL CARE MOVEMENT THAT STARTS FROM SELF-ACTION article written by Rosana Ifra

eunoia-12

eunoia-13

ABOUT THEM SeaSoldier is an organization founded by Nadine Chandrawinata and Dinni Septianingrum in 2015. The two found a mutual interest in the environmental field and they wanted to find a way to spread ecofriendly actions to a wider audience, because they knew that only the two of them doing that was not enough. That's when they decided to start a movement titled “SeaSoldier” through social media to spread awareness on environmental topics.

The philosophy behind this name is quite a unique one, according to Ms. Dinni. The ones that should be protecting the sea are the ones on land as 80% of the waste produced on land ends up in the ocean, so protection done on land is just as important in order to fix and save the ocean.

seasoldier

Through social media they were able to spread the word quickly, and soon gained a huge audience. A lot of people became interested in it as their way of giving information was very interesting, and avoided making it feel forced. Ms Dinni and Ms. Nadine believe that it won't last if people feel pressured to take action and protect the environment, thus they wanted to motivate people to be self-aware and have the intention to make an impact by themselves.

eunoia-14

For the first 2 years they went to the hinterlands and discussed the issues with locals, spreading environmental awareness everywhere they went.

What’s important they feel is self action, as everyone can contribute even the smallest things to help protect the environment. As time passed, they decided that they wanted to take more concrete environmental action. In 2018 SeaSoldier was turned into a foundation with the hope of starting more sustainable environmental protection projects.

Ms. Dinni mentioned that a big motivation for them to start the organization is to create a next generation that can contribute in protecting the environment.

However, the pursuit of this isn’t always smooth and they often face challenges throughout the process, like having conflicting opinions. Ms Dinni states that through this it can be learnt that there are plenty of ways to give opinions and ideas, and it is always important to find the best possible solution that can be accepted well by everyone.

MOVIE recommendations FROM THE SEVILLIANS

eunoia-16

THE SILENT SEA (2021) The Silent Sea, a Netflix original series, premiered in the last week of 2021, and reveals the flaws of humans in a desperate time living in a desolate world deprived of a proper supply of water, and the consequences of global warming. A team is sent to an abandoned research outpost on the Moon in an apocalyptic planet without water to gather the samples left behind. Balhae research station was the site of a sad tragedy in which all of the researchers on the facility died, including the sister of Song Ji-An (Doona Bae). What they find at the station is far more sinister than they anticipated: all of the researchers' bodies appear to be infected with an unknown sickness. The show creates an exhilarating atmosphere by combining tranquillity with moments of peril.

TOMORROW (2015) Tomorrow is a documentary film directed by Cyril Dion and Mélanie Laurent and released in 2015. In the face of a future that scientists suggest is cause for concern, the film stands out for not succumbing to pessimism. Optimistically, it identifies programmes that have been demonstrated in 10 nations as models for solutions to environmental and social concerns in agriculture, energy, economy, education, and governance in the twenty-first century. It was nominated for the César Award in France for Best Documentary Film in 2016, and was released in 27 countries.

WHAT'S UP WORLD? Article written by : Gabriella Felosa

Emissions in South Korea Spark Legal Actions A legal challenge in South Korea claims that the state is fracturing the rights of the future generations because it is not doing enough to cut carbon emissions. Though challenging a government to a legal battle sounds difficult, even if it is for a good cause, it has been done before. In 2019, the Netherlands government was taken to court because of their national carbon emissions. That case sparked a wave of climate change action, from Ireland to India.

So far there have been three lawsuits against the South Korean state about this issue. One of the three claims, brought by a youth group, was updated after the South Korean government passed a new zero net carbon emission law. But they said it was still not enough. In the latest case, the plaintiff states that by 2030 the target of reducing greenhouse gases should be 40% or more. If that goal is not reached, it could spell disaster to the future generations.

“Adults say they will protect the Earth for us, but they don’t seem to have done much for our future. Instead of passing it on to children, adults need to cut carbon emissions a lot more right now” said a 10-year-old boy, Han Je-ah.

Climate impacts in South Korea have become worser and worser over the decades and are more clearly seen than ever before. Government statistics show the damage of these natural disasters has risen since 1985. They caused 162 casualties and cost 7.3 trillion won (£4.6bn) between the years 2007 and 2016. The reports suggest that yet more damage might happen in the future, such as more frequent and heavy floods and forest disasters, loss of habitats, and greater numbers of endangered species.

Many of the newer generation have argued in court about this, and say that the climate crisis violates their own fundamental rights. Some of these pleas have failed, such as the case brought by Anjali Sharma, a teenager in Australia.

But there has been some success in other parts of the world, such as in Germany which recognizes that the law in its current state jeopardizes the freedoms of future generations.

Every April 22, people around the world celebrate Earth Day. These festivals, activities, and rallies are to promote awareness of environmental issues and help protect the planet.

Earth Day started when a vocal group of scientists and environmentalists in the 1960s became aware of the increasing amount of pollution threatening the Earth. During this time, Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin was also getting mightily concerned about this situation, the health of the environment, and the U.S government's apparent lack of attention to it.

Three years later in 1963, he convinced then president John F. Kennedy to go on a tour to promote the environment. However, even the president’s impassioned pleas weren't enough to push the environment’s health into the political spotlight.

But no matter! Senator Nelson organised a protest on behalf of the environment, and from there, the idea of Earth Day was born! Earth Day spread to schools, involving thousands of students, and then to different parts of the world Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin

Earth Day has been credited with putting environmental issues on the political map and launching the environmental movement in the United States. It has become a global event. Two hundred million people around the world stage events to support the environment on that day.

Now that we know about this green celebration, what can we do to bring the supportive cheers on this special day? Earth Day is a day where you can relax and enjoy nature’s blessings. You can ride a bike with your family. Or maybe plant a new tree or flowers to add more beauty to your garden. Or even just the simple act of spreading awareness to everyone about our environment. This is all better than not doing anything.

What impact has the COVID-19 pandemic had on the natural environment? Have the various national lockdowns had an impact on animals, either positively or negatively? COVID-19 has killed more than 6 million individuals globally thus far, and that number might be much higher considering how difficult it is to document every COVID-19 death. According to a JAMA perspective article, the COVID-19 pandemic might cost the United States at least $16 trillion, or about 90% of the total yearly US GDP (GDP). Despite this, it seems reasonable to conclude that the natural world is enjoying a reprieve. A world in which humans travel significantly less should have significant environmental benefits.

Many studies from throughout the world have found that the epidemic has reduced climate and water pollution significantly.

According to one research, daily global CO2 levels fell by 17% during the early months of the epidemic. Similarly, additional studies found that levels of the pollutant nitric oxide were reduced by 20–40% across the United States, Western Europe, and China. An examination of data from 44 Chinese cities indicated that pandemic travel restrictions reduced five key air pollutants by 4.58-24.67%.

According to an American research study, between March 27 and May 14, 2020, vehicle travel decreased by 71% and truck traffic decreased by 46% in one Massachusetts area.

eunoia-29

Many experts throughout the world have concentrated on the health consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, while ignoring the environmental consequences. According to evidence, there was an alarming increase in environmental contamination before the pandemic, due to increased industry, particularly in metropolitan areas. Following the COVID-19 epidemic however, satellite data over Asia and Europe revealed a significant reduction in air pollution, namely nitrogen dioxide. The rise in industrial and domestic waste, on the other hand, is a considerable challenge to environmental management. Improper waste management has unanticipated "knock-on" effects on human health and the environment. We need an efficient and safe system for managing and disposing of the trash generated by the epidemic.

Many of the pandemic's initial favorable benefits on animals, such as fewer road, air, and ship deaths or interruption, will likely revert back to the numbers before, when the world returns to normalcy. In many cases, it will take decades of adjustment to help thousands of species recover from human influence on the planet. It may take 10–15 years of continuously reduced fishing, for example, to allow the world's depleted fish stocks to recover. Some investigations have also discovered that the pandemic is inflicting harm to animals. In one study, researchers discovered that less human disturbance due to lockdowns has benefited invasive alien species by interfering with people's efforts to manage them. According to the authors, pandemic limitations have also affected the activities of conservation and law enforcement agencies that care for animals. eunoia-30

a gain for them, a gain for me interviewed by Candice Christabel written by Dulce Santia

HIZKIA ALEXANDER, 17, is known by his friends as the cheerful, full of laughter, sporty boy living the typical student life.

He wakes up early on weekdays to go to school, studies, then goes back home to his complete and wellprovided family assisted by a housekeeper.

This article, however, will touch on one particular event in Alex’s life, wherein he spent a portion of his semester break with the children of a few orphanages in Surabaya, Indonesia.

One fine Friday morning in December of 2021, Alex was offered the opportunity to visit and stay at the Pelita Harapan and Pondok Hayat orphanages. He distributed boxed meals to all the children and caretakers, accompanied the kids as they played sports, as well as participated in the bible-reading and praying sessions every evening throughout the two weeks.

Alex’s father and the head of the orphanage initially did not think that he would enjoy the experience, but the boy eunoia-33

proved them wrong as he not only made friends during his stay, but also slept very well on the top bunk he was assigned to sleep on each night.

For Alex, there isn’t any deep motivation that drives him to unhesitatingly share his fortunes. He solely and purely loves to help – “I just want to help those who are underprivileged, you know? It just feels good to do good.

They feel good, you feel good too.” Surely, we can all agree that community service only offers us nothing but win-win situations.

Our fellow Sevillian has learned through this eyeopening experience to always be grateful for what we have and to not take anything for granted. Alex knows now that independence, be it in the form of washing one’s own dishes or putting away one’s own laundry, is a pivotal factor for a successful future. And he now defines that as being useful not only for himself, but also to society.

Restaurant Reviews: THE

BRASSEY Article written by : Nelson Adrian Darwin

PIK, or rather, PIK 2, can be dubbed Jakarta’s new favourite hangout spot, with an array of modern, trendy restaurants and bars, such as the ones in Batavia Cove, Pantjoran Chinatown, and San Antonio.

The Brassey These places cater to people from all walks of life, and sometimes that may lead to major congestion in the avenues, often by people looking to hang out with their families on the weekends. I personally go there a lot, and I often find myself stuck in a traffic jam of cars, pedestrians, and electric scooters.

However, there is a place people often overlook, a hidden gem of sorts, tucked away from all the hustle and bustle of hungry weekenders. This gem is called The Brassey, and it is located on the serene grounds of Sedayu Indo Golf.

Sedayu Indo Golf is located on the inner side of PIK 2, behind the shophouses that have

The Brassey is a fusion restaurant, serving Oriental and Western cuisine, and sometimes blurs the line for both cuisines in the form of fusion food. I ordered the Crispy Duck Bumbu Madura for IDR 95,000 and a lemon squash for IDR 35,000, standard prices for a restaurant inside a golf course.

The Crispy Duck Bumbu Madura is the house favourite, and it definitely lives up to the status.

The duck was juicy and crispy, with lots of meat, served with sambal ijo and krecek. There was also cattle skin cooked in spices, and lalapan, all combined together to complement the rice and duck.

Lemon Squash The lemon squash offered a refreshing pause in between eating and digesting, and it is a good pick-me-up for weary golfers.

All in all, I spent IDR 150,000 for the meal plus tax and service, not your typical definition of cheap Indonesian food, but it was filling, and definitely worth the price and service. I would recommend anyone wanting upmarket fusion cuisine in PIK to come to The Brassey to sample its food.
