PERLUNYA ETIKA LINGKUNGAN DALAM UPAYA PENCEGAHAN LAUT MENJADI ASAM

Etika Lingkungan Hidup hadir sebagai respon atas etika moral yang selama ini berlaku, yang dirasa lebih mementingkan hubungan antar manusia dan mengabaikan hubungan antara manusia dan mahluk hidup bukan manusia. Mahluk hidup bukan manusia, kendati bukan pelaku moral (moral agents) melainkan dipandang sebagai subyek moral (moral subjects), sehingga pantas menjadi perhatian moral manusia.Kesalahan terbesar semua etika sejauh ini adalah etika-etika tersebut hanya berbicara mengenai hubungan antara manusia dengan manusia Albert Schweitzer (2003:12). Dalam perkembangan selanjutnya, etika lingkungan hidup menuntut adanya perluasan cara pandang dan perilaku moral manusia, yaitu dengan memasukkan lingkungan atau alam semesta sebagai bagian dari komunitas moral.

Air laut merupakan penyerap karbon (carbon sink). Karbon yang diserap maupun yang dilepas ke atmosfer berada dalam bentuk gas karbon dioksida (CO2). Laut akan menyerap karbon jika tekanan parsial gas karbon dioksida di atmosfer lebih tinggi dari tekanannya di dalam air laut. Laut berfungsi sebagai penyerap karbon (carbon sink) dalam dua bentuk yakni melalui serapan pasif dan aktif.

“KEHUJANAN MENIMBULKAN PENYAKIT: BENARKAH?”

Akhir-akhir ini setiap harinya kota Depok diguyur hujan yang terjadi baik di pagi hari maupun malam hari. Akibatnya bagi orang-orang yang tidak siap sedia payung mengalami kehujanan. Seringkali kita mendengar perkataan,” Jangan hujan-hujanan, nanti sakit lho!” yang diucapkan oleh orang tua, kerabat atau teman kita ketika musim hujan tiba. Sebuah mitos yang dipercayai di masyarakat bahwa kehujanan dapat mengakibatkan berbagai macam penyakit seperti: pusing, diare, demam, dsb. Apakah benar seperti itu?

Kita sering beranggapan bahwa kehujanan bisa menyebabkan masuk angin, demam, batuk, pilek, dan badan linu-linu. Padahal hal ini adalah gejala khas dari infeksi virus influenza. Apakah hubungan antara air hujan dengan virus influenza? Apakah di dalam air hujan terdapat virus influenza? Apakah di balik baju yang basah terdapat segerombolan virus yang siap menyerang? Tentu tidak. Lalu setelah kita selesai sekehujanan pula sering beberapa di antara kita merasakan perut kembung, kemudian melilit dan akhirnya mengalami diare. Apakah air hujan juga membawa bakteri perut? Apakah baju basah membuat bakteri jahat merembes menembus kulit dan otot? Tentu tidak. Mengapa ada beberapa orang yang telah kehujanan setelah berjam-jam tetap sehat bugar dan ada beberapa yang hanya terkena gerimis langsung mengalami demam? Mengapa kita sakit setelah kehujanan? Apakah kita pernah berpikir bahwa para atlet renang yang hampir 8 jam sehari berada di kolam renang sering masuk angin? Bahkan kita sendiri saat berekreasi ke pantai atau berenang di kolam renang tetap segar bugar. Padahal sama-sama air? Mengapa bisa demikian?
