Pada hari Sabtu, 27 September 2014 lalu telah dilaksanakan Workshop 3.0 Menjadi Ekologis dengan narasumber Azas Tigor Nainggolan. Berikut adalah hasil presentasi dan pemaparannya:
In terms of being ecological, it’s easy for bikers to say, “Everyone should bike” and for gardeners to say, “Everyone can garden.” But for people who see biking and gardening as complicated, irritating, useless, we couldn’t just mock them and hope that that could change their mind.
So two weeks ago my friends and I joined the second workshop of Menjadi Ekologis which rendered “transportation” as its main theme. Speaking about the issue of building the six new toll roads, Dharmanigtyas and Andesh from Rujak Center of Urban Studies (RCUS) each gave a 30 minute presentation about how it was better for us to use public transportation rather than private cars. I was sitting upright peacefully, listening to the discussion until one moment when I realized that two of my friends were mumbling exasperatedly to each other. After the workshop I asked what they were talking about and one of them asked me back, “Do you like being criticized or being complimented more? Are you interested more in being accused or having hopes?” That was what the workshop left my friends with. Being members of "our generation" - who are now on our twenties and thirties perhaps-, using public transportation in Jakarta may seem to be ‘too heroic’. Not only because of our familiarity and trust toward that moving four-wheeled trapezoid prisms –since we born and grow parallel with them-, our preferable is also influenced by the menial condition of the public transportations themselves. Revoking this generation’s shameful habit that we were spoiled by misleading opportunity of the era wouldn’t do any good. “He is not even standing on our shoes,” She said reminiscing how Dharmanigtyas referred us to ‘the young generation’. I nodded agreeing that they are the members of the generation in which planting mango trees was still handy, in which privacy was still an alien, in which using containers is not seen as impractical compared to the Styrofoam containers. “Do they feel sanctimonious just because they are naturally that kind of guys?” I know that our defensive comments might sound ridiculous. But that is what their censure sounded in our ears too. Anyway, now, do we all see how this way of campaigning would lead us nowhere but only to attacking each other and defending ourselves -which definitely is not the goal of the campaign itself? "Maybe yes, our generation is spoiled. But still, if it was nice, I would love to use public transportation; just like how I enjoyed travelling with commuter line around Jakarta the other day," My friends smiled, recalling their trip. So in the conclusion, it is true that we are actually heterogenous. That demonstrates how there are plenty of things that can scattered us from focusing into one huge communal goal that, in this case, is to become ecological. That goal itself is the way of how this campaign should be brought by. We need to campaign positively by asserting the vision of how beautiful Jakarta's future public transportations might be, not criticizing the only comfortable that we have. It's truly useless, even harmful, to push us off the game; because undoubtedly, Jakarta people are too busy to play if it was actually ‘only’ a game of winning or losing. In the end she said, "Hopes -and compliments- are what to pull us forward, not residing criticism".
