This is a great initiative. Personally I do come gardening at home and tree planting and it is quite therapeutic.
A few years later, even more so when #covid19 hit Human beings today, then we understand the benefits of tree planting carried out by The Grand Chancellor and friends. Recent research shows that sometimes, going to the park, or even seeing a tree can significantly improve a person's health and stress level. Some doctors have begun to prescribe the park as a remedy for patients' health problems, and the benefits of trees are so great and invaluable for mental and physical health.
وأصحاب اليمين ما أصحاب اليمين في سدر مخضود وطلح منضود وظل ممدود وماء مسكوب وفاكهة كثيرة لا مقطوعة ولا ممنوعة وفرش مرفوعة إنا أنشأناهن إنشاء فجعلناهن أبكارا عربا أترابا لأصحاب اليمين ثلة من الأولين وثلة من الآخرين
The trees planted at Ma'had Alzaytun campus, which has now become a beautiful Campus forest, turned out to follow the provisions of Allah SWT in the Alwaqiah Verses that were always mentioned and advised by our mother to always be read at every opportunity. The trees are very important for filtering air, eliminating harmful pollutants, such as Carbon Monoxide (toxic at high levels), particles (causing asthma), and Basic Ozone (various respiratory effects).
In this difficult time, the Alzaytun Campus with hundreds of thousands of trees has become a safe zone from Coronavirus, because its inhabitants are protected by the coolness of the trees, but also always make this pollution-free area as a place to do regular exercise, so that the Alzaytun residents are physically healthy and mentally intelligent.
قال إن ٱلله ٱصطفىه عليكم وزاده بسطة فى ٱلعلم وٱلجسم وٱلله يؤتى ملكه من يشآء وٱلله وسع عليم
The Grand Chancellor of Alzaytun always informed his community members at every opportunity, that Alzaytun campus forest produces water availability, for the benefit of agriculture and healthy drinks for its residents. That way even though in the midst of water difficulties in the surrounding area, Alzaytun remains an area with sustained water resources.
ألم تر أن الله أنزل من السماء ماء فسلكه ينابيع في الأرض ثم يخرج به زرعا مختلفا ألوانه ثم يهيج فتراه مصفرا ثم يجعله حطاما إن في ذلك لذكرى لأولي الألباب
Other than producing water availability to continue the life cycle, the trees given advantages related to mental reliability, namely: increasing one's memorization. Reducing hospital time and accelerating the healing of various diseases. Plants and or greenery can increase the students' focus from a space perspective and increase community social cohesion.
Solar heat is one of the big problems for the health of urban residents, something that does not happen on the Alzaytun campus because the campus forest is a shade and transpiration, which can greatly reduce the disease and comfort associated with heat. Trees can reduce heat by about 9 degrees Fahrenheit, compared to open areas.
Once again. The Campus has been developed in such a way by the Grand Chancellor and friends with the ALWAQIAH BASE DESIGN Student township, which was done by participatory action research and participatory action programs, and follows a modern project planning when planning it, so Alzaytun becomes an Education center that is different from other educational centers in Indonesia.
The benefits as stated above, it turns out not only for permanent residents of Alzaytun, but also for other stakeholders, who in the course of the educational struggle get direct and indirect benefits for the vivacity of the campus, and also affect the improvement especially for mentality improvement, so that Alzaytun's motto as the Center of Education, peace and tolerance culture development continue to be implemented from time to time.
The Alzaytun Campus Forrest is very useful for human life and certainly very useful as an antidote the COVID19, which according to the results of research experts, the benefits in numbers can be seen below:
After more than 23 years, the number of trees at Alzaytun estimated: 800,000 (45 trees/hectare), which given more advantages for :
1. Elimination of pollution: 235 tons / year ($ 3.59 million / year)
2. Carbon storage: 204,000 tons ($ 27.1 million)
3. Carbon sequestration: 9,630 tons / year ($ 1.28 million / year)
3. Avoided stormwater runoff: 10,730,168 cubic feet / year ($ 717 thousand / year)
4. Building energy savings: $ 1,020,000 / year
5. Avoided carbon emissions: 2,210 tons / year ($ 294,000 / year)
These figures are calculated by comparison of hospital costs and avoided deaths, and all of this shows how great the benefits of trees that have been planted by The Grand Chancellor of Alzaytun since before the construction of the Campus and continue to be carried out until now.
If you add up the benefits of the Alzaytun Forest in Rupiah, then there are savings that Alzaytun has contributed to the world, namely: $ 34,000,000 - USD or equal to Rp. 561,016,500,000 per year.
