Jaddin the Monk

A long time ago, there was a wise monk called Jaddin. He traveled across mountains, shallows, rivers, and seas. In every place he had visited, he helped people, animals, and even plants which needed his help by his wisdom. He brought back the harmonious to them.

There was one time when he came to a village in the foot of a mountain. They were live from the woods and got water from a small pond in the middle of the village. The water was supplied by a river run down the mountain. They did not know how it came or how to keep it still running. They just knew that they need water and food and they could find it in their surroundings. The monk felt pity for them because of by their attitude the wealth will leave them soon.

Soon after Jaddin left them, they opened new land to be lived in by burn the woods in the mountain. It was going okay at the first time, but later, they began to suffer for the scarcity of water. The water pond of the city was gone and they did not know where they should go to find another one. Soon, their field was dry, their lambs and cows was died for the dryness.

When knew about this, Jaddin rushed to the village and promised them to bring back their wealth if they gave him some promises and the people agreed.

Together with the people, Jaddin planted trees as many as those which had been cut down by the people. By his wisdom and his power, the trees grew fast to the size which they can accommodate water by the villager. Just by days, the pond had filled by water again and they began their new live in the village.

Jaddin was gone after he told them to keep the nature and live harmoniously with them.

Actions for Conservation

Unnes has been doing some actions to succeed the conservation movement.

In the middle of the rainy season this year, Unnes has succeeded plants one billion trees. This event was being helped by student’s organization as Pramuka, Mahapala, and PMR, once in two days for almost three months. The location was in the Trangkil Woods and some other locations near Unnes.

Last year, Unnes also began the making of lake or “embung” in the middle of campus area. This small lake will preserve the rain water and keep it for the dry season so the rain water won’t only flow away and can’t be used for human living.

Unnes has also change the asphalt square in front of the library into a green and beautiful park. The more green area the more oxygen we will get. The green area also will preserve the rain water into water ground storage.

The most impressing movement is the “paperless” movement that will be announced soon. The movement will make the educational system in Unnes use less paper that means fewer trees will be cut for paper.

There are also one another plan will be done for conservation movement. This plan will make the campus area free of gas emission from vehicle that is used to be ridden by not only students, but also the lecturers and staffs.
