Berikut ini adalah potongan dari puisi yang ditulis oleh W.S. Rendra yang berjudul "Sajak Sebatang Lisong".

...

(2)

Matahari terbit.

Fajar tiba.

Dan aku melihat delapan juta kanak-kanak

tanpa pendidikan.

(3)

Aku bertanya,

tetapi pertanyaan-pertanyaanku

membentur meja kekuasaan yang macet,

dan papantulis-papantulis para pendidik

yang terlepas dari persoalan kehidupan.

(4)

Delapan juta kanak-kanak

menghadapi satu jalan panjang,

tanpa pilihan,

tanpa pepohonan,

tanpa dangau persinggahan,

tanpa ada bayangan ujungnya.

(5)

Menghisap udara

yang disemprot deodorant,

aku melihat sarjana-sarjana menganggur

berpeluh di jalan raya;

aku melihat wanita bunting

antri uang pensiun.

(6)

Dan di langit;

para tekhnokrat berkata :

bahwa bangsa kita adalah malas,

bahwa bangsa mesti dibangun;

mesti di-up-grade

disesuaikan dengan teknologi yang diimpor

(7)

Gunung-gunung menjulang.

Langit pesta warna di dalam senjakala

Dan aku melihat

protes-protes yang terpendam,

terhimpit di bawah tilam.

(8)

Aku bertanya,

tetapi pertanyaanku

membentur jidat penyair-penyair salon,

yang bersajak tentang anggur dan rembulan,

sementara ketidakadilan terjadi di sampingnya

dan delapan juta kanak-kanak tanpa pendidikan

termangu-mangu di kaki dewi kesenian.

(9)

Bunga-bunga bangsa tahun depan

berkunang-kunang pandang matanya,

di bawah iklan berlampu neon,

Berjuta-juta harapan ibu dan bapak

menjadi gemalau suara yang kacau,

menjadi karang di bawah muka samodra.

(10)

Kita harus berhenti membeli rumus-rumus asing.

Diktat-diktat hanya boleh memberi metode,

tetapi kita sendiri mesti merumuskan keadaan.

Kita mesti keluar ke jalan raya,

keluar ke desa-desa,

mencatat sendiri semua gejala,

dan menghayati persoalan yang nyata.

(11)

Inilah sajakku

Pamplet masa darurat.

Apakah artinya kesenian,

bila terpisah dari derita lingkungan.

Apakah artinya berpikir,

bila terpisah dari masalah kehidupan.

(Disampaikan pada 19 Agustus 1977 di ITB, Bandung.

Recycling is important in today’s world if we want to leave this planet for our future generations. It is good for the environment, since we are making new products from the old products which are of no use to us. There are many reasons why it’s important to recycle as much as possible.

Making new products out of recycled materials reduces the need to consume precious resources. So recycling helps protect raw materials and protect natural habitats for the future.

Using recycling materials in the manufacturing process uses considerably less energy than that required for producing new products from raw materials.

Recycling reduces the need for extracting (mining, quarrying and logging), refining and processing raw materials all of which create substantial air and water pollution. As recycling saves energy, it also reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to tackle climate change.

There are over 1,500 landfill sites in the UK and, in 2001, these sites produced a quarter of the UK’s emissions of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that is released as the biodegradable waste (such as food and paper) decomposes. Existing landfill sites are filling up fast and there is very limited space for new ones.

A massive reduction in the amount of waste we send to landfill is required if we are to avoid the heavy fines and the landfill taxes that are being imposed by Central Government on councils that exceed their landfill allowances. Increases in your Council Tax or service cuts in other areas would be the only way of paying these penalties.

Recycling reduces the need for extracting ... it reduces pollution.
