Global Environment Day Seminar: Biopori

"Seminar Hari Lingkungan Hidup Sedunia"

Tomorrow, on June 5th, our Mother Earth will have a Global Environment Day celebration. In relation to the celebration, SWANARAPALA (Nature Lover Club from BINUS) would like to invite you to join a seminar about Biopori on June 8th 2011. There you can have a practice on how to make a biopori, guided by some expert from WALHI (Indonesia Environment Organization).

 
The example of biopori hole
Just a glance about biopori, it's a method to increase water absorption on soil for overcoming flood. This method was discovered by Ir. Kamir R. Brata, M.Sc, a researcher from Bogor Agriculture Institute. It works by making a hole in the ground (soil, cement, even asphalt) by certain measurement and put some organic trash to form compost. The compost can support living things on soil so they can create pores on the ground. It has been proven effective to increase water absorption, especially in the urban city like Jakarta which has so little space for a massive water absorption site (like forest, field  or lake).


The seminar is on 8 June 2011, from 13.00-17.00, M2C-D Room in Syahdan Campus, BINUS University.
The fee is IDR 10,000 . It's very cheap in term of what it covers: Snack, certificate and donation for tree implantation.
