IN THE JAYAPURA PAPUA

The port city of Jayapura sits on the coast and has a population of around 250,000 including many people from other parts of the Indonesian archipelago. It is not an unattractive city and you will find museums, hotels, an assortment of restaurants, banks and markets for shopping. From Jayapura it is easy to take guided overnight treks to primitive villages and it is a 45-minute flight to Wamena, the main town of the famed Baliem Valley.

Lake Sentani is a famous primitive arts centre. Bark paintings, sago bowls and small-carved items are amongst the local handicrafts found here. Kelly is a private collector of primitive Papuan art and therefore he has the depth of knowledge and connections to ensure that you pay the right price and that all items purchased are genuine.
Treks into most mainland areas require an arrival by flight into the Lake Sentani area located close to the West Papuan capital city of Jayapura. This region is a beautifully dramatic introduction to Papua. A huge wall of vegetation called the Cyclops sits majestically above Lake Sentani and makes for a stunning backdrop to the clear waters.

THE KOMBA AND KOROWAY PEOPLE

I wanna sharing some culture and etniq from my country Indonesia and Im start from east Indonesia Papua Irian Jaya.

The houses of Irian Jaya's Kombai and Korowai people are built as high as 150 feet to see the birds and the mountains and to stop sorcerers from climbing the stairs. The house above is now abandoned. Tree people live in tight-knit clans and hunt game like cassowary, whose meat, bones, and feathers will all be put to good use.

Three brothers relocated their families from the tall house they shared to separate lower ones. They considered the move safe because tensions between them and rival clans had recently been reduced. Roughly cleared land around the new houses is planted in taro, tobacco, sweet potatoes and bananas. In preparation for a feast, a lady had her head shaved by a teenage girl using a razor of split bamboo.

A Korowai hunter armed with specialised arrows for killing birds, fish, reptiles - and humans - searches for the day's food. As the environment is short on sizeable game, success is unlikely, and insects are more commonly eaten than cassowaries. Domestic pigs are reserved for dowries or settling disputes. The lives of the Korowai are hard and their view of the world spare: Humans live in the inner zone; the dead inhabit an outer zone. Beyond lies the great sea where all will perish as the world ends.~Papua Irian Jaya Indonesia~Wish you enjoyed reading about one of etniq in papua Irian Jaya even small but they still there until to day in my big country Indonesia with many different island, culture, etniq and music.

                                   WATER PET bottle

from trash to treasure

design and recycling
bottled water is the fastest growing beverage industry
in the world. according to the international bottled
water association (IBWA), sales of bottled water have
increased by 500 percent over the last decade:
1.5 million tons of plastic are used to bottle water every
year, unfortunately the recycling process is messy and
inefficient. plastic bottle recycling has not kept pace
with the dramatic increases in virgin resin polyethylene
terephthalate (PET) sales, particularly for PET bottles.                                                                     
it's interesting to note how the last imperative in the


ecological triad of reduce / reuse / recycle,
has emerged as the one given prominence.
the consequences of demanding an emphasis on the
first — reduction of consumption and production —
puts one on the path of confrontation with a system which
seeking to function at maximum capacity, not minimum.

last update:
in august 2001 even perrier, world's leading bottle water
company, moved away from the iconic trademark glass
bottle, which for almost 100 years has set the design standard
in mineral water packaging. the company launched
a 50cl format in PET plastic.

a close look at the myths about recycling shows they
are being perpetrated less by those committed to ecology
and more by those doing the most damage to the planet.
plastics recycling only minimally reduces the amount of virgin
resources used to make plastics.
recycled plastic is a small percentage of what is manufactured
and the amount is actually decreasing!
even those active in administering recycling programs
have come to recognize, for instance, that plastics
consumption is actually encouraged by recycling!

most of the increase in virgin resin sales has been for
single-serve PET soda bottles that now make up 60 percent
of soda bottle market share. the 50cl form is particularly
suited to the out-of-home circuit, in particular the on the
go market.

the notion, that recycling is even a little better than
nothing produces only more illusions, not environmental
sanity. mad levels of production and consumption are at the
core of market economies, and unless that process is
confronted, little will change !
more :

what can we do to help reduce packagging trash?
in terms of bacterial content, it is questionable as to whether
bottled water is better than most municipal tap water.
the only difference between some bottled water and tap water
is that it is distributed in bottles rather than pipes.
‘I refill plastic bottles about three times, ‘ you might say, not
considering that re-filled bottles can become perfect
'bacteria breeding grounds'.
enjoy these 'plastic phantastics' in another light,
turn plastic bottles into great objects.
reuse them as fun or functional items, here are some quick
and easy ideas :
- cut & trim off the top portion of a plastic water bottle
(size: 1l or more, with tap) and use it as a champagne glass.
- build a waterpipe.
- ship in bottles.
- lavalamps.
- wave maker (without getting wet).
