When planning for the future, we must find ways to protect the environment and also meet our needs for energy, transport, food, clean water and clean air. Through a class survey among twenty-five students (boys and girls, aged 11-12) about our daily habits, we tried to check sustainability in our lives. We focused both on our own and on our family lifestyle in relation to sustainable living and answered different questions about it. We explored the idea of a greener home and suggested ways to make our lives better.

The Impact

The term “sustainable” or “sustainability” is currently used so much and in so many fields that it has become basically part of our everyday lives. It has been connected and linked to almost everything related to our living, to our lifestyle: energy, transport, housing, diet, clothing etc. But what does the term “sustainable” really mean? Many people may have heard about sustainable development or sustainability and may have even tried to have a sustainable living but their efforts might not be enough. The present paper is meant to bring forward a few of the limits of “sustainability” concept. Moreover, it is focused on revealing some arguments from the “other side” along with disagreements regarding some of the principles of “sustainable development” and even critics related to its progress, to its achievements. Another purpose of this paper is to draw attention over some of the issues and obstacles which may threaten the future of sustainability. The paper is also meant to highlight the impact that some stakeholders might have on the evolution of sustainable development due to their financial power, on a global scale.

The U.S

The Clean Air Act (CAA) and Clean Water Act (CWA) have been the lynchpins of the U.S. environmental policy for the last half century. Under both acts the federal government sets standards and the states implement, the outcomes of the CAA and CWA have not been the same however. While criteria air pollutants across the nation have been reduced or maintained under the management control strategies of the CAA, far less is known about the effects the CWA has had on water quality, even though, most agree water quality has improved since its implementation. These acts are built on similar frameworks, but the real difference lies on the embedded identification of assessment criteria. The CAA creates a rigid framework for the consistent identification and monitoring of air pollutants, while the CWA relies on a much more flexible system that varies over space and time. Thus, it is the embedded environmental assessment criteria within these acts that have led to different outcomes for similar policies.

ABSTRAK Waduk Jatibarang merupakan salah satu waduk yang berada di Semarang yang berfungsi sebagai wisata, sumber air bersih dan untuk mencegah banjir dengan menampung air dari sungai Kaligarang dan sungai Kreo. Informasi tentang status trofik waduk ini sangat dibutuhkan untuk pengelolaan waduk Jatibarang di masa mendatang. Adapun tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui status trofik perairanberdasarkan kandungan nitrat (NO3), fosfat (PO4), dan klorofil-a di waduk Jatibarang. Hasil dari penelitian ini diharapkan sebagai acuan pengelolaan waduk Jatibarang. Penentuan lokasi sampling pada penelitian ini mengacu pada perbedaan area waduk Jatibarang yang selanjutnya dibagi menjadi tiga stasiun pengamatan. Stasiun I sebagai area masukan (inlet), stasiun II di perairan tengah waduk dan stasiun III di area keluaran (Outlet). Setiap stasiun dilakukan pengambilan dua titik sampel berdasarkan kedalaman yaitu permukaan dan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa status trofik waduk Jatibarang berdasarkan kandungan nitrat tergolong eutrofik dengan kisaran nilai 0,866-1,314 mg/l. Fosfat adalah hipertrofik dengan kisaran nilai 2,960-5283 mg/l. Sedangkan dilihat dari kandungan klorofil-a termasuk oligotrofik dengan kisaran nilai 1,471-2,273 mg/l. hubungan antara kelimpahan fitoplankton dengan nitrat dan fosfat masing-masing lemah dan sangat lemah. ABSTRACTJatibarang reservoir is one of the reservoir located in Semarang which has a function as a Tourism, a source of clean water and to prevent flooding control to collect water from Kaligarang and Kreo River. Information on the trophic status of the reservoir is very necessary for the future Management of Jatibarang reservoir. The purpose of this study was to determine the trophic status of waters by nitrate (NO3), phosphate (PO4), and chlorophyll-a in the Jatibarang reservoir. The results of this study will be expected as a reference management of Jatibarang reservoir. Determining the location of sampling in this study refers to the difference in the activity of Jatibarang reservoir area is further divided into three observation stations . Station I input area (inlet) , the second station in the middle of the reservoir waters and III stations in the output area (Outlet). Each station is done taking two sample points based on the depth of that surfaces. The results showed that the trophic status of the reservoir Jatibarang based content from nitrate is oligotrophic with score 0,866-1,314 mg/l. Phospate concentration is hypertrophic with 2,960-5283 mg/l range. Despite Chlorophyl-a is oligotrophic with 1,471-2,273 mg/l. based on Abundance of phytoplankton on the reservoir Jatibarang Classified as Moderat, and the correlation between Abundance of phytoplankton with nitrate and phosphate are weak and correlated weakly.
