2.1 Green School

The schoolof environmentalStructuringaGreenSchoolis anarrange ofthe school

theimplementation of theteachingprocessas well as useful to theenvironmentoutside of
school.
The School environmentconduciveindispensable inproducinggraduateswhoquality
throughthe learning process with based quality educationsystem. Not only that,school
environment that is conducive will promote the establishment ofaqualitylifestyle, it is
necessaryin improvingthe competitiveness ofthe nation'sand to preserve the wealth of natural
resources of Indonesia.
The matters relating to the Green School is affecting the environment are all human
and animal growth. Green manifestation in the effort on one part of human activity in treating
the environment with the hope and aim to keep it created the environment that does not leave
the nature of humanity.
A clean environment is an environment free from dirt and beauty is a beautiful view,
nice, beautiful, comfortable, fresh and healthy.

2.2 Role and Function of Green School

Greening the role and function as the lungs school. Crops as green elements, on
growth produces oxygen that is necessary for living creatures for respiration; As a regulator
within (micro), vegetation will cause local air within cool, comfortable and fresh, the Creator
of life within the (ecological); balancing nature (adaphis ) is the formation of natural living
places for animals that live in the vicinity; Protection (protective), the physical condition of
9

the surrounding natural (wind, sun, gas or dust), beauty (aesthetics); Health (hygiene);
Recreation and education (Educational).

Greening the school, among others to provide a positive effect for, mortgages flora
and fauna, water handling and attrition, ameliorasi climate, reduce reflection of sunlight, soil
erosion operation, reducing the flow surface, the soil. Construction vegetation can regulate
water balance by means of interception, infiltration, evaporation and transpiration. Thus
greening the school environment as an element of "forest school" needs to be enhanced by
covering the conceptual planning, implementation and maintenance by considering the
aesthetic aspects, and functional conservation of the environment. Implementation plan must
comply with maintenance should likewise be done continuously.

In addition to the already decomposed above, the school greening can also be a means
of learning outside the classroom. For example, as a "laboratory" school, especially the
learning of biology. Because the school greening results are a good variety of crop plants and
ornamental plants and hard drugs.
Of the variety and quality of environment conditions change would be able to interact
poorly with the human. Diverse range of damage, such as air pollution, water pollution, and
declining quality of environment due to natural disasters, floods, erosion, forest fires, water
crisis, the school became arid. This will eventually be a global impact on the environment,
particularly for public health and the school itself.
Man is sometimes lost in excessive network activity and not others' interests. Lack of
public awareness in organizing and maintaining sustainability of the environment, has
resulted in deterioration of the quality of environment is too severe. This should be special
attention to schools and communities in charge of re-organizing the school environment from

10

various forms of corruption within, as well as creating and promoting a culture of education
actors in the range of vision.
In this context, it is not excessive if the environmentally friendly movement go back
even encouraged through greening program within the school as a whole. Because, in order to
protect and preserve the sustainability of life within, it is necessary to have a good
cooperation between government, the community with the school itself. Various natural
disasters that often occur in some regions of our country is basically due to lack of awareness
among the organizing and maintaining sustainable environments.
Range of problems, such as floods, catastrophic drought, landslides, forest fires, the
waste, and higher rates of air pollution is a problem that does not fall within trivial. Why not?
Reason, not terselesaikannya or long-range problems larutnya will destroy the potential
fulfillment of future generations.
Development at several schools to be able to observe the surrounding ecosystem. Do
not, existence within the range of setting aside the pretense of ignoring the environmental
sustainability and comfort.

Addressing this matter, as the performer of educational and community members who
love the environment, not least our moral (ethics) can participate in the all programs related
to sustainable living environment defined by the government through the range that is closest
to our school environment.

CHAPTER IV
FINDING AND DISCUSSION

4.1 The Benefits of Green School

1. Aesthetic benefit (beauty)
The tree has a wide range of distinctive canopy shape, thus creating its own
beauty. Therefore, when arranged in groups with the same type in each group will
create beauty or atmosphere. Structure without offset with trees will feel barren,

13

whereas if the surrounding trees were planted and well laid out will appear green and
lush.

2. Benefits Orologis
Tree roots with soil is a strong unity so as to prevent erosion or soil erosion.
This is called orologis benefits.

3. Hydrological benefits
In this case meant that the plants will essentially absorb rainwater. With so
many groups of trees would make the area as an area of ground water supplies that
can meet life for humans and other creatures.

4. Benefits of climatological
With so many trees would lower the local temperature, so that the air around it
becomes cool and comfortable. So the presence of climatological protective group of
trees was huge.
.
5. Benefits Edaphis
This is a benefit in terms of where the animals live. In an environment full of
trees, natural wildlife can live in peace because this environment is very supportive.

6. Ecological Benefits
A good environment is a balance between man-made structures and natural
structures. Groups of trees or plants, water, and animals are part of nature that can
provide environmental balance.

14

7. Protective benefits
Protective benefit is that trees can provide protection, eg against the hot sun,
high winds, dust barrier, and a silencer. While also protecting the eyes from glare.

8. Hygienic benefits
Is inherently a tree during the day produces O2 (Oxygen), which is
indispensable man, and vice versa can absorb CO2 (carbon dioxide) is the result of
dirty air exhaust combustion gases. So it is hygienic, trees are very useful for human
life.

9. Educational Benefits
Various types of trees planted in the city is a natural laboratory, because it can
be used as a place to learn about plants from various aspects.

4.2 The Influence of Green School

Green School is an activity which in addition to the physical climate to gives that
make the environment more comfortable, but the activity itself can be a considerable
psychological impact. The most important influence in the Green school activities for the
citizens of the school of learning to all citizens of the school to understand the importance of
the environment. These activities are expected to be implemented by citizens at home and
school environment in which they live. So that they can make the environment green.
Geographically, Indonesia is a tropical country which includes all the years of rain and sun
are constantly exposed to allow the growth of plants. Thus, not one that in other countries
expecting tropical countries including Indonesia into the World Lung.

15

Physically, the effect of green school that is making about the school climate to be
comfortable, because the plants that make shade, as well as supply of oxygen produced by
plants that make the environment more fresh and can make students better concentration in
the study are also healthy for the whole citizens of the school.
In addition to itself, this activity can have negative consequences if the activity is not
maintained properly.

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMENDATIONS

green schools, such as: Aesthetic Benefit (Beauty) Orologis benefits, the benefits of
hydrological, climatological benefits, edaphis benefits, ecological benefits, the benefits of
protective, hygienic benefits, and educational benefits.
16

Besides the benefit of green school could give positive impact not only in the school
enviroment but positive impacted to outside enviroment of school. And supply O2 produced
by plant could make citizens of school healthy and make students have better concentration.
Besides greening should be well maintained and not make mess.

5.2 Recommendation
Base on information, better every school hold greening and make a garden so the
citizen of school better healty and school of environment will be better fresh, beauty, and
