Grand Launching of Energy and Water Saving Campaign


Grand Launching of Energy and Water Saving Campaign (by Fadhila-2011)


The smallest change can make a big difference – GamaEARTH remains committed to spreading this message of conservation to help all of students and staff in Chemical Engineering Department UGM understand that they can all play their part in protecting our planet.

Recently, there has been an increased understanding of the linkages between water, energy and climate change. Some places in the world have successfully integrated sustainability for both water and energy from planning, investment, to institutional decision-making. Nevertheless, there is still a significant gap in communication addressing the linkages at a global scale. In particular, there are only limited number of publications, scenarios and perspectives about energy and climate change which explains their strong linkage with water issues.

We have a collective responsibility to preserve, protect and manage the well-being of our environment. No doubt, Chemical Engineers, as part of environmental experts, are capable to perform a significant role to save the earth. The earth suffered because of pollution that human made, and the industrial plant has big role on it. But, we believe we can save our earth.

Thus, we need to be rational in our energy and water consumption habits. GamaEARTH  wants to raise awareness of energy saving by a campaign. GamaEARTH hopes that educational campaign will not only raise awareness of energy saving but also change the attitude and behaviors of students and staffs in Chemical Engineering.

The Water and Energy Saving Campaign is aimed to give the following outcome:
1. Provide a series of green tips.
2. Encourage energy and water saving behavior.
3. Raise awareness of sustainability on the Department of Chemical
Engineering, University of Gadjah Mada.
4. Emphasize the importance of sustainable behavior for human’s better future.






The Grand Launching for Water and Energy Saving Campaign was held on May 1st  at S-102 classroom. We cordially invited lecturers which was represented by Dr. Ir. Aswati Mindaryani M.Sc, ChAIN staffs, and Chemical Engineering students. Our concern towards Earth Sustainability which has driven our spirit for conducting this campaign was explained by Dzikrima Lutfi as the campaign Project Manager. We also presented two videos related to Global Warming and Water Crisis issues to give a clear idea about how the earth has been suffered from our actions and highlight the importance of both mindset and habits change.
