Problematika lingkungan hidup hingga saat ini kian menunjukkan tingkat yang mengkhawatirkan. Berbagai fakta kerusakan lingkungan yang terjadi di Bumi telah menjadikan penghuninya terusik. Tulisan ini bercorak library research dan berupaya menelisik kontribusi Islam dalam menyelesaikan masalah ini. Hasilnya, Islam member perhatian besar pada berbagai problematika kehidupan manusia, termasuk terhadap lingkungan hidup. Rumusan ini tentu berbeda dengan pandangan ilmuwan modernis Barat yang cenderung menggunakan pendekatan teknis saja, tanpa melihat aspek-aspek lain. Padahal, menggunakan pendekatan teknis semata tidak mencukupi, namun juga membutuhkan pendekatan lain, di antaranya yang bersifat transendental dan profan.Problems of the environment now show an alarming rate. Various facts environmental destruction on Earth has made its inhabitants disturbed. This paper seeks patterned library research and browse for Islamic contribution in solving this problem. As a result, Islam gives a great attention to the various problems of human life, including the environment. This formulation is different from Western modernist views of scientists who tend to use a technical approach only, without looking at other aspects. In fact, using a technical approach alone is not sufficient, but it also requires other approaches, including the transcendent and profane.

<p>Purun is a typical plant that grow in peatland area that has important functions for people living in peatland area. The availability of purun is now decreasing due to changes in land management and environmental destruction. Almost all of the plantation commodities in the peatlands area, management of peatlands in the forestry, agriculture, plantation and fisheries sectors apply exploitative and pragmatic methods, while ignoring environmental sustainability. Furthermore, environmental damage also occurs due to disasters such as forest and land fires that often occur in peatland areas in Indonesia. One of the damages happen to peatland area is the damage and scarcity of purun. As users and beneficiaries of purun, women become the affected group that face  the impact of peatland destruction. This paper describes the experiences and efforts of women in peatland areas to restore land and restore the existence of purun in their villages.</p><p> </p>

AbstractBritish playwright Lucy Kirkwood’s The Children (2016) tackles the imaginative challenge of depicting environmental crisis, in particular the risks of nuclear destruction and climate change. With questions of intra- and intergenerational justice being at the heart of the dramatic text, this article draws on conceptions and insights from cultural risk theory to argue that human risk behaviour and decision-making is the play’s main focus and determines characterisation as well as structure. Interrogating the tension between aesthetic form and content, it shows how The Children naturalizes the (post-)apocalyptic condition and strives for a balance of scales with regard to collective and personal crisis. Characteristic of the rapidly growing corpus of contemporary “cli-fi” drama, and in accordance with many of the strategies proclaimed by climate communication theory, the play stages the catastrophic implications of environmental destruction predominantly as collective risk management and in a predominantly realist manner, discarding formal experimentation as well as futurist setting. Yet this article argues that it remains ambiguous what kind of risk management is proposed and whether we should read it as a call for action or as an imaginative means of accepting finitude.

Indirect Impacts

This article synthesises the practice and rationale behind ways of facilitating gatherings on topics of societal disruption and collapse, which is argued to be useful for lessening damaging responses. The authors draw on first-person inquiry as facilitators of gatherings, both online and in person, in the post-sustainability field of ‘Deep Adaptation,’ particularly since 2018. This term describes an agenda and framework for people who believe in the probable, inevitable or unfolding collapse of industrial consumer societies, due to the direct and indirect impacts of human-caused climate change and environmental degradation. Some of the principles of Deep Adaptation facilitation are summarised, such as containment, to enable co-responsibility for a safe enough space for difficult conversations. Another key principle is welcoming radical uncertainty in response to the anxieties that people feel from their anticipation of collapse. A third principle is making space for difficult emotions, which are welcomed as a natural and ongoing response to our predicament. A fourth aspect is a curiosity about processes of othering and separation. This paper provides a review of the theories that a reason for environmental destruction is the process of othering people and nature as being less significant or meaningful. One particular modality called Deep Relating is outlined.

The Dictatorship of Appearance or Simulation in Present-Day "Democracies" against the Background of the Market Ecocide of the Foundations of Human Life on Earth

It is proved that the current era is characterized by many governments around the world as dictatorship of "appearance" or "simulation" of the most activities transforming politics, even the tragic events like local ecological catastrophes, local wars, "colour revolutions", the elections in a "theatre", "acting", on the background of market ecocide – really accelerating processes of the first phase of a Global Environmental Disaster, which, at the transition "point of no return" in the near future, may turn into a process of irreversible environmental destruction of all mankind. This dictatorship of "appearance" or simulation as a "curtain" market democracy, hiding the capitalism-led, process of dehumanization of man, is an indicator of the inadequacy of states and political "elites" imperative of survival of mankind, as the imperative out of the ecological impasse of history in market-capitalist format. There comes a reckoning for this departure into the " market-capitalist illusion of apparent prosperity. The societies of the world, including Rossiya, have faced a dilemma:either environmental destruction, or the Noosphere Breakthrough, which, in its essence, is a change in the social organization of social life and its reproduction – the transition from the dominance of capitalism and the market to the Noosphere Ecological Spiritual Socialism on the basis of scientific and educational society and the management of socionatural evolution.

This article considers discursive instantiations of conceptual metaphors in the multimodal dynamic environment of a movie. It analyses conceptual metaphors with the referent concept RADIATION realized in the audio (oral speech and music) and visual (dynamic image) modes in the documentary series "Chernobyl" (the English version). The work belongs to the sphere of ecolinguistics that analyses linguistic phenomena taking into account a broad range of factors that influence the process of sensemaking in discourse without prioritizing any of them, in particular, the anthropic one. Ecolinguistics studies how a person’s speech and his/her life as a whole are connected, how linguistic means and the environment of their use are related; how a person’s attitude to the environment is embodied in language and discourse, which linguistic forms provoke environmental destruction and which can inspire people to protect the environment. Perceiving multimodal instantiations of conceptual metaphors with the referent concept RADIATION, viewers of the "Chernobyl" documentary series have an opportunity to re-define for themselves the essence of the largest anthropogenic disaster in history, to reveal new aspects of the respective concept, which is so important for the collective survival of humankind. Because of the complexity of its content, the explanatory potential of simple conceptual metaphors is insufficient. Thus, they interact with conceptual metonymy and with one another, forming meta-metaphors that permeate the entire filmic text. Multimodal instantiation of the conceptual metaphors under study makes their cinematic realizations more vivid and expressive, as well as creates a single tonality of their perception by the viewer.

To the Americans:In this letter from 2002 Osama Bin Laden replies to unidentified American writers explaining why al-Qaeda is justified in attacking North American targets. The letter poses two questions: What are we fighting for? and What are we calling you to do, and what do we want from you? According to Bin Laden al-Qaeda is engaged in a fight responding to decades of Western aggression. Bin Laden presents a detailed account of the misdeeds that the United States are responsible for in the Middle East and in Afghanistan. The letter also denounces North American society as characterised by usury, debauchery, gambling, prostitution and environmental destruction. Finally Bin Laden provides the reader with a series of examples connected to the ‘war on terror’ where the United States does not live up to its own rhetoric: the detention of prisoners at Guantanamo, the suspension of civil liberties in the Patriot Act and the rejection of the Kyoto Accords.

Environmental Behaviours

Sustainability in well-being embodies the interconnecting course of how various systems influence each other. The more strongly individuals subscribe to values beyond their immediate interests, that is, prosocial, collectivistic and biospheric values, the more likely they are to engage in environmental behaviour. Issue: Existing research has limited evidence on specific values of Malaysian’s personality and lifestyle (PL) that have significant impact on attitude and proenvironmental behaviour (AP). Purpose: This paper aims to verify the statistical predictability of AP based on PL. Approach: Multiple Correlation and Multiple Linear Regression were carried out to assess linear associations and parameters of linear equations to predict AP components based on PL items. Findings: AP components were moderately predictable by some of the PL items. Specifically, ‘ Urging media to raise environmental awareness ’ and ‘being mindful about environmental destruction’ were the two strongest predictors of AP.
