The importance of environmental protection must be instilled in us from an early age. Illegal logging, water pollution from industrial and mining waste, air pollution in urban areas, and the ongoing environmental degradation, especially in Indonesia, are not new issues that must be addressed as soon as possible. Indeed, these issues require the participation of both the government and the community, who must work together to protect our environment.

The environment, which is home to all living things on earth, including humans, animals, and plants, must be preserved. The environment is crucial for the survival of all living things. Without the environment, humans, animals, and plants cannot survive. However, the environment is currently experiencing damage. This is all due to irresponsible human actions. Examples include illegal logging without replanting, resulting in deforestation and the inability of the soil to absorb water, and trees unable to breathe carbon dioxide in the air. Continuous coal mining can cause the excavated soil to become increasingly depleted and damaged. The use of motorized vehicles and industrial establishments cause factory smoke in greenhouse gases, resulting in high exhaust emissions into the air, resulting in air pollution and global warming. Indiscriminate waste disposal can have a detrimental effect on the lives of living things. These human actions can have fatal consequences; they dare to exploit the environment in the name of business and neglect the environment without thinking about their children and grandchildren. It may be easy to do this, but restoring it to its original state is very difficult.
