Currently, imported electronic products enter the Indonesian market using general import procedures, where the importer has to pay the import duty and taxes in full rate. In the absence of proper recycling systems, the electronic products that have reached their end of life and those are no longer used, end up in the landfills. Some researchers found hazardous materials inside the electronic products that could contaminate water, soil and air. Therefore, another strategy is needed to avoid negative effects on the environment. The Temporary import policy is one of the import procedures under Customs administration control, which states that goods can only be imported for a specific period, and should be re-exported afterwards. This paper tries to analyze the impact of the implementation of the temporary import policy on electronic products. By employing the Input-Output Analysis to the data from the Statistic Central Bureau and Indonesian Customs, this paper identified the impacts of the proposed procedure to some sectors in the Indonesian input-output table, namely: import activity, waste management and recycling system, transportation and storage, and final demand. The result shows increasing in quantity to be re-exported, and potential benefit from transportation and warehousing, leasing and rental services, and other business.

Trade has been agreed as one of the economic growth factors because of its impact to several economic sectors, such as investment and information technology development; however, it also has an effect on the environment. The more goods traded the more economic activity and the bigger the impact on the environment. The preferential trade agreements have been encouraged to increase the volume of trade between the parties involved. Currently, Indonesia is involved in several free trade agreements, and it which results in a growing volume of imported goods to be used in the economic activities as reflected in the Input-Output Table . This paper attempts to analyze the impact of the implementation of preferential trade agreement schemes in Indonesia by using the Environmentally Extended Input-Output Analysis method developed by Wassily Leontif. The final calculation shows the significance of carbon emissions released from agriculture sectors.

Environment Education (or the Pendidikan Lingkungan Hidup-PLH) is expected to be one of the instruments that can raise the awareness of students in communicating with nature. Therefore, the teaching method is very important in delivering this material, so PLH will be interesting for students and achieving optimum results. This paper will demonstrate the results of Problem Based Learning by using certain media, including Story Telling Method, Role Play Method, Outdoor Learning Method, and Kamishibai Card Method in the learning process of PLH in 4 schools at Balikpapan, Bandung and Medan. The result shows that utilization of media as the methods  in PLH will be more easily understood by the students. Abstrak Pendidikan Lingkungan (atau Pendidikan Lingkungan Hidup-PLH) diharapkan bisa menjadi salah satu instrumen yang dapat meningkatkan kesadaran siswa dalam berkomunikasi dengan alam. Oleh karena itu, metode pengajaran sangat penting dalam menyampaikan materi ini, sehingga PLH akan menarik bagi siswa dan mencapai hasil yang optimal. Makalah ini akan menunjukkan hasil Pembelajaran Berbasis Masalah dengan menggunakan media tertentu, termasuk Metode bercerita, Metode Bermain Peran, Metode Pembelajaran Luar Ruangan, dan Metode Kartu Kamishibai dalam proses pembelajaran PLH di 4 sekolah di Balikpapan, Bandung dan Medan.
