a full dedication to the job, working hard, not abstinence tired. Even if he feels tired, she was overcome with a cup of coffee. Nunun and felt refreshed and ready to work hard again.

After work is completed, he had a break. At other times, appeared more activities that are time and energy consuming him. Again and again he overcome all this with a cup of coffee. However, the body can not continue to forced. Coffee can only reinvigorate nunun for a while. Finally, due to the coffee drinking habits, he was sick. He can not work anymore, messy job.

That is what happened with the construction of environmentally unfriendly. Development of pursuing economic growth as high and ignore the environmental conditions like nunun, the hard worker who did not notice her condition. Economic built by destroying the environment will last only temporarily.

Finally, after the neighborhood was destroyed, the economy will also be destroyed. Function of the environment in economic development like health function for our work. We need our health to job success. Successful not only for the time being, but for a longer time.

The question is whether we are willing to sacrifice our health for the sake of jobs, as happened with nunun? Are we willing to sacrifice our environmental conditions for economic growth? Unfortunately, some economists do not want to “sacrifice” for the sake of economic growth good environment. For them, economic growth was the commander.

Look, the economic program often begins with a target of high economic growth. This is exactly what is done nunun, who work hard regardless of health condition. This is what happens with the various economic programs that generate high growth with environmental damage. Perhaps, the question is how to concretely implement this.

One example, is how to develop tourism projects free from tobacco smoke. This is probably due to greater awareness of smoke-free meningkat.Daerah been increasingly smoke-free it can attract foreign tourists due to the current love of the air smoke-free has increased tremendously. But ironically, sometimes we hear that people want to visit Indonesia because Indonesia is? Heaven smokers?.

People can easily smoke and damage our air quality. The reason that we hear, we need their money. But, if we are willing to environmental conditions we tampered with the cigarettes flow keep coming to Indonesia, just for the sake of short-term money? Indeed, attempts to create a tourism without cigarettes does not necessarily mean lower earnings.

Today, awareness about the importance of smoke-free increased. The smokers are going away from us, but, other tourists, who love smoke-free air, will arrive. Economy grows, along with our air quality improvement. Awareness of the need for a good environment (not only free from tobacco smoke) also has continued to increase, including in the international world.

Lifestyle more environmentally friendly and more people looking for goods and trendi.Permintaan environmentally friendly services will increase. We may then create goods and services that are environmentally friendly to meet the needs of this increased. Let’s do the economic development of environmentally friendly.

Economic growth between 4? 5% is fine as long as improvements in environmental conditions. Is a bonus, that the economy can grow at over 5%. Government should make environmental progress as one of the main indicators of the success of local government and the Indonesian government. Environmental statistics can be reported every three months along with the economic growth report.

We’ve created a special economic zone in Batam, Bintan and Karimun to pursue high economic growth. Kepulauan Riau Province Government, the Government of Indonesia, and Singapore government tried to make this area a third jumped rapidly in economic development, in terms of achieving high economic growth.

Various special facilities provided for these three areas. If successful, these programs will be expanded to other areas in Indonesia. However, environmental issues seem to have not received special attention in the Special Economic Zone project third itu.Apakah area will achieve high economic growth at the expense of environmental conditions in the area?

If that happens, whether economic growth will be sustainable? Good planning and implementation of the Special Economic Zones in Batam, Bintan and Karimun have noticed the environmental conditions. It is time we created the project “Environment-Friendly Economic Zone”. The emphasis is not on the pursuit of high economic growth, but on the achievement of environmental conditions is good.

Of course, the economy in this region should grow, but the high growth is not the main targets of development in this area. Government can make experiments with creating a Green Economic Zone, the main aims of environmental conditions improve. We select areas that can be used as pilot projects. We provide special facilities so that the area can develop a good environmental condition.

If successful, this project expanded to other areas. We can also cooperate with other governments to create a Green Economic Zones in Indonesia. Perhaps, Bali can be used as one of the region. Bali has a lot of potential to be an example of success in economic development environmentally friendly.
