DECREASE CARBON EMISSION NOW.......!!!
Earth Day becomes a common icon for environment activist in struggling proper space for any creature on the earth. Many activists use the earth day to do various ritual actions in order to pass a message to all government components to look after environment function for sustainable life and human livelihood.
Message is not only sufficient to be delivered through mass mobilization (demonstration), press release and press conference. We even need to look back in how we planned those kinds activities, since we had always left new problem after we did the action, such as garbage. There are many other problems exist behind the garbage matter, which have destructive power toward sustainable humans life. Its environment impact includes the sector of energy need; from the need of fossil fuel (from meeting until the implementation of action, which requires huge amount of it, as well as mineral drinking water to support the action). Instant mineral drinking water is a result of co-modification of water resource, which commercialy sell and packed with plastic. The process in making the package itself already take a lot of anergy, plus water resource exploitation and its distribution to the customers. All those activities are related to the need of fossil energy where in its every single process releases CO2 to the environement. In the context of climate change, CO2 become main contributor toward global warming after methane gas.
In terms of both onset and offset strategy of international mitigation negotiation of climate change; The earth day 2010 becomes a momentum to remain north countries (annex1) to take responsibility toward their emission, before they emphasis countries whose forest to maintain the forest in order to minimize tempertaure increase. Therefore, the civil society coalition had to struggle to determine that negotiation in the forum of UNFCCC was unfair for south countries, due to the biggest emission contributors are the countries listed on the annex 1. The question is, how the responsibility could be reversed? Where the biggest responsibility is in the hands of countries with forest (carbon stock) as the carbon absorbent (carbo zinc), which not yet equiped with sufficient technology which use alternative energy and still very much depend on fossil energy in big scale (source of emission).
Althoug that ideological debat still become the basis of people in the south with their forest in sounding the climate fairness, the more important for Civil Society Organization (CSO) is the effort of reducing the emission as result of their activities.

Potrait of Carbon Emission Resource in Indonesia
In international level, Civil Society Coalition can cooperate with governement to struggle for realizing the climate fairness, which more pro-South. In Indonesia itself, the grow of carbon emission is getting increased and increased. It can be seen throug the data of Environment Ministry , which shows that the source of released emission are from energy sector which consist of biomass energy of household 79%, fuel oil 17% and LPG 3%. The increase of carbon emission per year only for the use of biomass energy is about 178 tons. The second carbon emission source is from industries which use coal. There are 20,000 industries which use diesel fuel, fuel oil, and coal. From the using of those three fuels, Java Island is in the first list of emission contributor. It is recorded that there was 13 million tons of carbon emission in 2003 which increased became 24 million tons in 2005.
Carbon emission in huge amonut also come from electricity company like State Company of Indonesia (PT PLN) which use fossil fuel to produce electricity. In 2004, there was about 55 million tons carbon emission released by electricity company in Java. Meanwhile the use of coal in 2007 reached 120 million sbm which resulted 154 million tons carbon emission.
Emissin source from transportation is the third list of the use of household and industry. The emission source is from the use of premium and its derivatives (like pertamax, pertamax plus, super TT). The use of those fuel in 2000 reached 140 million tons and increased became 179 million tons. From those, the carbon emission resulted was about 58 million tons in 2000 and became 73 million tons in 2007, which 16 million tons of was predicted came from Jakarta. That figure is always increase due to the grow of vehicle use with fossil fuel which reach 82%. The grow of vehicle use is triggerred by the high population and energy consumtive attitude of people and added with no government policy which limit that consumption.
The burning process of fossil fuel becomes main subject as carbon emission contributor, especially the use of coal as electricity generator. As written on the President Law No. 5 2006 about National Energy Policy, which mention that the use of coal was significantly increased from 15% to 33.3%, which will contribute about 110 million tons of CO2 emission in up to 2025. In that National Energy Policy, the government gives mandate to the Ministry of Energy to develop the Blue Print of National Energy Management for the period of 2010-1025, which cover the asumption of energy need per 10.6 sbm and electification ratio 93%. This means that the need of fossil fuel will significantly increase as well as the need of secondary energy which fulfilled by electric generator. This condition affect the good will of government in order to decrease the CO2 emission while the consumption of fossil fuel is drastically increased.
That short description above clearly shows the ambivalence of action plan commitment in reducing green house emission, which cause the climate change. The ambivalence is between decreasing green house emission and the increase of peoples energy need which guaranteed by the government itselves.

Carbon Emission and Civil Society Organization
In the strategic role in strengthening people organization through advocacy, Civil Society Organization (CSO) also take part in releasing carbon emission in huge scale. The high need of fossil fuel can be seen throug transportation use, electricity use, administration operational and need of water.
The need of high travel to reach working area requires transportation which need sufficient fossil fuel. Not merely local-national travel, but also travel between continents in order to support program achievement, which only take several days of return travel. That often happen, and it triggers carbon emission released is geting higher and higher.
Beside transportation, the over use of electricity should be seriously taken into account. The use of air conditioning, water pump, and other electronic equipment release high carbon emission. The habit of energy consuming also affect the commitment of decreasing carbon emission, which often sounding by CSO in order to achieve climate fairness. The effort to develop save energy attitude in program implementation should be done through policy, which make sure emission decrease like operational procedure in optimizing local resource. This should become mainstreaming of CSO in their role amongst society and their environment. Therefore, CSO should start their concrete policy to limit travel, to use energy saving equipments and recycle things. It is also important to develop caring habit in using water and electricity. Let us start to change the habit of our organization and our families. And Start Now......!
