However, the cornerstone of that effort is to liberate the people by restoring keberdayaannya economically, as well as the management and maintenance of water resources and sustainable forest. That happened with the MHP in Seloliman Village, District Trawas, Mojokerto regency, East Java.
"When electricity came in, so short of time to pound paper," said Jayanti (32) of the perfect Hamlet, one of four hamlets in Seloliman. Since 1999, the mother of a child care business establishment perfect Recycling (Sempedu), in the form of paper recycled into various products.
Once the electricity went into the village in 2001, the recycling process only takes one day, or three days sooner than before. By paying the cost of electricity of Rp 45,000-Rp 50,000 per month, carbon dioxide emissions from the production process can be minimized.
"To boil to a pulp paper only takes 20 minutes, without firewood," said Jayanti. "Soaking the paper only one day."
The efficiency of the processing time to make the increasing amount of production. "If I order 200 sheets of paper a week was not necessarily so, now only 1.5 to two days," said Jayanti.
Recycled paper production reached about 60 sheets of A4 size paper to be made a variety of products. If the sun's heat is constant for a month, production jumped to two-fold. The price of one share of about USD 300.
Women who harvest the corn helps recycle it work as a sideline. Some also have the same business. "If there is order, usually divided equally. The results for the capital again and saved, "said Jayanti.
The effort was initially are targeting the children of women who had no activity, except watching television all day. Waste paper are obtained from the Center for Environmental Education (PPLH) Seloliman lower half price. PPLH then ordered the manufacture of recycled paper for certificates, books, etc. to the citizens with the market price.
Long Process
For decades before 1993, Janjing Hamlet, Hamlet Biting, Balekambang Hamlet, and Hamlet do not know any perfect power. Economic movement is very slow crawl. There was no significant progress related to human development.
In 1993, PLN also eventually into the Village area Seloliman, but only covers Hamlet Balekambang, Biting, and the most perfect. "Hamlet Janjing absolutely no terlistriki so that citizens feel left out," recalls Suroso, Chairman of the Environment Foundation Seloliman coach.
On the initiative of citizens and PPLH facilitated by organizing citizens, born MHP Kalimaron Seloliman, inaugurated in August 1994. MHP 12 kWh of power was used melistriki Janjing and the entire village from other villages who have not received electricity from PLN. Partly for the purposes of operating the electric PPLH petromaks since 1988. It costs some came from residents, while others assisted the German Embassy.
"For us, the MHP was not a goal, but the entrance to save water and forest resources," continued Suroso who became Director PPLH years 2000-2007. For 1 kWh, requires at least one tree in the forest to store water.
"Awareness is built with the citizens see and feel the benefits. If forests are not maintained, reduced water sources and power plants can not walk, "he said.
As always reminded Tri Mumpuni from the Institute of Business and Economic Populist who with his team already melistriki around 6000 villages, so that MHP is able to function throughout the year, at least in the upstream catchment area must be maintained covering 30 square kilometers. That means there should be no logging or denudation of vegetation.
