Manage Trash at School

The Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Take heart - even one small action does make a difference when it comes to recycling!

·         Find out what's happening in your school.

·         Set something up in your class.

·         Start with a waste audit.

·         List all the items your school throws away. Don't forget places like the classrooms, playground, office and library.

·         Weigh the rubbish from a day's collection.

·         Make a chart showing the different items that are being thrown away. Think about ways these items could be recycled.

·         Set up a recycling centre, with clear labels on each bin used. Differently coloured bins might be a good way to help even the youngest children at school learn the correct bins to put items in.

Radically refusing to rubbish can be easily remembered with following the saying - Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

·         Refuse to create rubbish - refuse plastic shopping bags when you can take along a bag of your own. Refuse to buy items that use wasteful packaging.

·         Reduce the amount of rubbish created by sorting rubbish into items that can be recycled.

·         Reuse items whenever possible. For example, paper can be written on both sides, milk cartons can be used again as plant pots.

·         Recycle items by using the recycling centres at landfill and transfer stations, or mending and repairing items so they don't need to be discarded.

Make compost.

Compost is natural fertiliser and soil conditioner that can be made at school or home from organic wastes. In a compost heap, these wastes are converted into rich humus by tiny soil micro-organisms, insects and earthworms.

Compost heaps should be about 1 metre square and half to 1 metre high. Manufactured compost bins are neat, covered containers that can fit in a small space. However, it is easy to make your own.

Compost bins have no bottoms and should be placed on the bare ground. The composting process works best in warm, moist locations.

Recycling paper 

Everybody uses paper in many ways. We use paper to write on, draw pictures on, to print documents from the computer, to wrap presents in and to read about the world new.

 However, paper does take up space in our landfills, and can be recycled.
Most landfills and transfer stations offer paper and cardboard recycling facilities. It is important to separate the two correctly as they are made through different processes.

Most waste paper is used to make paperboard, with some being used in printing and writing paper, tissues and toilet paper. Egg cartons, produce trays and hospital equipment are also made from recycled paper.

White paper has historically been made through bleaching with chlorine. The chemicals used are highly toxic and these can poison rivers and marine areas from waste containing papers made this way. Some manufacturers are using environmentally friendly methods of bleaching using oxygen and ozone

Lamin House

Lamin House of Dayak

The ladders can be relocated and moved up and down. . These structures are designed to anticipate the threat of the wild animals.

Bugis House

A visitor to the smaller towns and villages of Bali would be forgiven for thinking that temples adorn every street corner and all of the spaces in between. High walls with the smallest of doorways allow only the briefest of views by passers-by, while above the walls there are tantalizing glimpses of exquisitely carved shrines, some no larger than birdcages. However, these are all in fact private residences, more properly called compounds or karangs, which may house several generations of Balinese families at one time.

A Balinese home is the result of a complex interweaving of various elements – a kind of feng shui (the interaction of the physical world with the spirit one), economic wealth, caste, kinship ties and practical social requirements.  To begin with, Balinese compounds are surrounded by high walls and have only a single small entrance, called the angkul-angku, at the side bordering the street. Entrance-ways define the threshold between inside and outside and are viewed ambivalently by Balinese: on one hand they admit welcome visitors, while on the other hand they can allow malign spirits to enter. Thus it important that the entranceway be small, and that immediately inside one faces another smaller wall called the aling-aling, placed specifically to baffle uninvited spirits who are normally only capable of traveling in straight lines.  As a further safeguard a small shrine is often built just in front of the house facing the road. Offering of flowers and coconut leaves are placed in it to make spirits pause and reconsider any intention of entering.

Within the compound, on the northern boundary wall, one is immediately faced with the family temple, actually a collection of at least five small shrines, usually placed on high pedestals. These are dedicated to ancestor worship, specific Hindu gods (largely dependant on family caste) and other, more ancient spirits or nats. A small pavilion near the eastern side of the temple complex, called thebale dangin, is traditionally used for ceremonial purposes.  Further within the compound there is a number of small houses or open sided pavilions, usually around a main house (bale dauh) built on the western side: this is occupied by the current head of the family and his immediate family, while the smaller dwellings house visiting relatives and children.  Towards the south, the pawon or kitchen sits, consisting of 2 rooms, one open sided for cooking, the other closed to store cooking materials. Behind the kitchen is typically a granary, livestock pens, vegetable garden, fruit trees, well and sanitation facilities.

Hanoi House (Papua)

Honai has long been known as a traditional house in Jayawijaya Dani and the indigenous tribes who inhabit the central highlands of Papua. Until now, people in the region still build honai hereditary suit local conditions and cultural traditions. Honai The term comes from the two words, namely "Hun" meaning man and "Ai" which means home. Of classification, there are two types of honai, namely honai for men and women.

In general honai a custom home where deliberation for the sake of having a party and the indigenous tribal war. Honai for women called "Ebeai," which consists of two words, namely "Ebe" or body in the sense of the presence of the body and "Ai" which means home. Honai name in the language of men Lani called "ap inakunu" and honai women called "kumi inawi." People have three honai Lani, namely honai for men, women and honai honai devoted to feed or raising animals like pigs .

So it is not true if there is so far skewed perception that indigenous people in the Central Highlands of Papua normally sleep with pigs in their honai. Because there honai built specifically for raising pigs. From the model, honai often built round and the roof of the upper conical or dome (dome) on the cover with reeds. The middle line (diameter) from 5 to 7 meters, depending upon the usage. Honai for women, shorter shape.

In the basement honai adult males usually used as a meeting place, discussion, democracy, dialogue and debate about the war, the economic, security areas, share experiences and think about the sustainability of life. Furthermore, its use as a place to store belongings, including storing mummy (preserved corpse) for Dani, and other functions in the interest of the owner. While the upstairs room is often used as a bedroom.

Honai men usually inaccessible (occupied) by women or certain people. Because this is where the initiation and ongoing education for the young man who would grow up. While honai for women are usually reserved for mothers, daughters and sons are still small. As honai men, the women will also take place honai educational process continuously for girls.

This is where mothers teach things that will be faced by girls after it was time to get married or marry. The presence of women honai the boys are still small general nature only, so after starting their teenager will move to honai men. The materials used in the manufacture of honai usually a cane, rope jungle, reeds, wood parts or boards are used as walls and special wood poles. Special jungle ropes and prisons will be used as a binder.

Church leaders are also intellectual origin central highlands of Papua, Pdt. Socratez Sofyan Yoman, in his book "We Drinking Water From the Well of One's Own," explaining that honai usually not built in any place or where prohibited. For example, in areas prone to landslides (disaster), gardening areas, protected forests or other places that are forbidden to build houses. According to him, the ancestors of the people in the central highlands of Papua generally not careless in building honai.

Because the note is about the safety and risks that will be faced. In making honai, the position of the door is usually located in the direction of sunrise and sunset. The door was also working for the safety of residents if there is a sudden attack of the enemy fire. Arguably it has been since the beginning honai permanent residence for Dani ancestors. This then could hamper their movement from one area to another.

Homese

Honai Towards Health, or known as Homese, is the result of innovation and breakthrough in the art of modern architecture. The concept Homese not leave forms, benefits and philosophical values ​​honai naturally. The development is only by increasing the local construction techniques. By reason of the construction raw materials readily available in the environment, it takes only an innovative value added.

Homese also consider spatial activity habits of local communities in the honai. But more than that, the development Homese purpose of creating change to the concept of a healthy home for indigenous people in the central highlands of Papua. Besides, there are efforts towards the revitalization of the areas that are considered historically valuable. Through civil engineering, Homese designed in such a way that the smoke could get out through the chimney.

In traditional honai homes, generally do not have a chimney (channel) exhaust fumes from burning. This is the biggest problem cause respiratory health problems in the local community which is still maintained as a residential honai. Because it was in fiscal year 2010, the local government has built dozens Jayawijaya Homese houses in Kampung Waisapu, Wamena town. Similar honai model also has built in Kampung Pasema Yahukimo.

The construction was carried out in cooperation with local government arrangement Satker Building and Environment Department of Public Works with Papua Housing Research and Development Center RI Department of Public Works. From the technical side of the design, the space in Homese still retains the fire to warm the room by adding a chimney up to the top floor. This is in order to create a healthy air circulation. Besides the warm temperatures in honai well maintained.

Known, the central highlands of Papua are generally low temperature (cold), have influenced the process of making honai should pay attention to the comfort aspect. While on the other Homese like roof form, still retaining the original concept. The roof of the dome-shaped honai (dome) has now become an icon everywhere. Taman Mini Indonesia (TMI) in Jakarta, which was built since the time of the new order, for example, the stand Irian Jaya (Papua) also makes the model honai as a separate icon.

That said, construction design Papua market 6 floors to be built specifically for artists and merchants indigenous Papuans in Jayapura city center also adopts the honai roof. In fact, since the beginning honai just built in a hamlet or village. Very impressive when you see the villages in the interior Jayawijaya from the top of a hill. Here would seem custom homes honai standing courtyard surrounded by a wooden fence decorated with dried grass.

Honai do have a deep philosophical. Because the traditional house is the first generation where the central highlands of Papua was born and raised. Honai also a place to learn about the meaning of life and the reciprocal relationship between humans and the environment and with the creator. So of course there is no other word more, honai uniqueness should be maintained to prevent rapid erosion of the times
