Semoga sukses acaranya, Pak.

Saya pribadi agak skeptis dengan kata Green setelah datang ke beberapa seminar. Teori tidak menyentuh realita.

Acaranya di London ya, kayaknya belum terjangkau nih.

the problem is I don't speak English at all. Mine is very terrible, besides... i am not used to speaking to strangers lol. But I will appreciate it if anyone gives me the summary via internet what the scholars were discussing in the convention.

what do you mean by it?
and what does 'green economy' mean? is it some kind of dollar issues?
or does it mean you develop economic system and activities that respect nature?

You can't speak english, me speak english little little. Can understand lah?

Three times I went to seminar about green economy. They mostly speak about how it is important to keep nature and it will give them economic benefit. But many people especially businessman think that it is optional, not a must. Just ask them this simple question : to preserve nature, is it a must or not? Do you understand the consequences of not preserving nature?

So for me, it is BULLSHIT about this green economy. Be greedy and preserve your own resources. It is unlikely that human will erase their egoistic and aggressive nature. Human population is keep on increasing along with their consumptions, while resources become scarce.

you mean among those businessmen, none of them ever really cares about nature ?
thats sad to know... i have never attended any green economy seminar, it thought it was cool.

i personally would go on saying green property would be a great idea to improve economic level without harming nature too much, at least in this current atmosphere of business, economy, and investment.
also planting castor beans and making them hybrid fuel would be much more better to do and less harmful than producing cigarettes and cigars and offering studentship...

Does the word care means actually do something about it? You might want to check if my words are correct or not, and you should.

That sounds more appropriate word "without harming nature too much". You will still harm nature when you consume and produce. Just think about growing population, consumption, and its waste. I am pessimist that profit company will put nature above economy, except it is written in law.

hmm... pada dasarnya manusia mesti mengorbankan alam untuk bertahan hidup. yang penting adalah jangan serakah dimana pencaplokan melebihi kebutuhan dan tidak melakukan tindakan apa2 utk menjaga kelestarian alam.
saya pikir bisa kita terapkan green economy, setidaknya, pada diri kita sendiri, mulailah menciptakan bisnis yg TIDAK TERLALU jahat pada alam (ya benar sebaik-baiknya kita pada alam kita jahat juga tapi yang diusahakan ialah meminimalisir kejahatan kita).

@ytridyrevsielixetuls

menanam biji jarak utk biofuel memang ide bagus karena Eropa sendiri sudah terbuka pada bahan bakar hybrid.. cuma masalahnya, bagi pengusaha yang ingin "mengejar setoran" mereka tidak akan terbuka pada teknologi ini dan lebih memilih menggunakan cara2 konvensional yang lebih tidak ramah lingkungan.
hal ini tentu akan dicontoh mereka yg tidak lebih tinggi taraf ekonomi dan ilmunya.

di sisi lain, orang indonesia masih banyak yang jadi penggemar rokok, jadi ya susah nerapin green economy ini.... dan produsen rokok sepertinya juga sudah keenakan dengan kebiasaan lama masyarakat ini jadi mereka tentu agak takut ambil resiko rugi dengan banting stir ke industri yg lebih ramah lingkungan dan lebih sehat.... atau mungkin mereka menunggu pengusaha lain yg berani berubah duluan..
di sisi lain mereka menyediakan beasiswa dan mensponsori event2 olahraga, entah itu cukup "membayar ganti kerusakan" atau tidak...

Perusahaan rokok mensponsori acara olahraga bukan untuk membayar kerugian, tetapi karena acara olahraga khususnya sepakbola menarik banyak penonton, sehingga merupakan momen yang pas untuk mempromosikan produknya.
