Our Environment In Jember

I want to talk about my house environment. You know Rembangan that is a favorite place to visit, right? I live near there. It is Semangka Street. The weather here is fresh, especially in the morning. And the scenery is beautiful because around my house, there are some rice fields and rivers. The farmers here cultivate their rice field with traditional ways. For example, a farmer who spreads predators (snakes) to eat their prey (rats). So that, the rat doesn’t eat the farmer’s plant (grains). Farmers use pesticides in the right amount to exterminate the plant disease, therefore it doesn’t make air pollution.

If you go to Rembangan, along the journey you will find some citizen plant dragon fruit. In here, it is good to plant dragon fruit, because of its temperature. Besides the citizen, there is a company who plants that fresh fruit, and sells it. Some visitors who go there for holiday always buy its dragon fruit because they just can find it here. In Rembangan Area you will also find animal husbandry. The citizens breed cow and goat. They breed it for their milk. My brother and my father have ever been there. They tried the fresh milk. But, I didn’t want to try it, because I think, its smell was not good. Not only in Rembangan but also in Mangli, there is a fabric that manages fresh cow milk. It called Milku. The fabric processes the milk, then makes it into package and also yoghurt. Because it is located far from the town and doesn’t make fabric smoke, so it isn’t really disturbs the citizen. Besides that, it doesn’t make pollution.

Because a lot of people come to Rembangan, on its road side, there are some food sellers. It is good for the visitor, but do you know the effect of it? Yeah, of course the road is become dirty because many of visitors throw the rubbish not in the right place.

Now, same like the condition above, I will tell you something about the effect of rubbish. In UNEJ Area, Mastrip Street, especially in front of the Medical Faculty, there are a lot of rubbishes that is thrown not in the proper place. It is disgusting and disturbs our sight! Because of that rubbishes plug up the gutter so, when it was rain, the UNEJ area always floods. Although the water is not really deep, but it disturbs the traffic.

Pollution in Jember usually is caused by the transportation smoke and household waste. Year by year, the population in this country is increase. We can see so many vehicles in the morning in the town and it make us can’t enjoy the fresh air. About the household waste, some river becomes contaminate because of it. Some people do their household’s job in the river, for example, wash their clothes or wash the dishes in the river. Because Jember is a small city, there aren’t industrial activities that waste the smoke and make pollution.
