Results indicate that the proposed hybrid system can meet local demand with high reliability and at lower costs compared to diesel generators. The study also addresses environmental and social impacts, proposing sustainable energy strategies for Indonesia's underserved regions.

Synthetic plastic used as a food product wrapper, including Pempek, has become a serious source of environmental problems. To reduce the negative impact of the waste, community service activities were carried out in the form of training in making plastic film edible as an alternative to pempek wrapping. This training focuses on pempek business actors, with the aim of providing understanding and skills in producing and using plastic film edible. The training material includes the selection of environmentally friendly raw materials, biodegradable plastic production techniques, and application as pempek wrapper. The evaluation is carried out through the measurement of participants' understanding, the quality of the plastic produced, and the market reception of pempek that uses biodegradable wrapping. The training results showed an increase in the understanding of participants related to environmental sustainability and their ability to produce biodegradable plastic. Market acceptance of pempek with environmentally friendly wrapping also provides a positive encouragement to the application of sustainable practices in the culinary sector. Thus, this community service activity is expected to be a concrete step in reducing the use of conventional plastic in the food industry, especially in pempek products. In addition, this training is expected to have a positive impact on community environmental awareness and encourage sustainable practices in the use of food products wrapping

There are 514 urban areas in the archipelagic nation of Indonesia (Ministry of Home Affairs, 2016). There are many cities in Indonesia that are able to provide a sense of comfort and security for their residents, this of course has an impact on population growth. However, the amount of waste that can be generated and stored is limited by the carrying capacity of the urban environment. Using the idea of ​​a "green city" which consists of nine elements of road infrastructure, traffic, green open space, clean water, noise, energy, housing, clean air and buildings is one way to overcome the above problems. All these qualities need to be utilized immediately with a comprehensive systems approach and in accordance with economic, social and environmental principles in sustainable development. Blue economy approaches can be used to eliminate waste. The “blue economy” is a term that is becoming increasingly popular in today's seas and oceans. The aim of this concept is to combine sea base development opportunities with environmental management and protection. Four conceptual interpretations of the blue economy were determined through research into the dominant discourse in international economic policy documents. How the blue economy works is also examined through an “in practice” analysis of the blue economy and related actors. Next, the scope and focus of the blue economy is explored specifically on the maritime industry, which is included or excluded in various conceptualizations. This analysis reveals areas of agreement and conflict. The consensus range reflects the growing trend towards the commercialization and valuation of nature, delineating and defining maritime boundaries and enhancing the security of the world's oceans. There are several areas of conflict, particularly disputes over the legitimacy of individuals as part of the “blue economy”, highly carbon-intensive industries such as oil and gas and the growing deep sea mining industry. Oceans are becoming increasingly important in terms of potential international trade opportunities through intermediaries and buyers. the behavior of the model supporting such a relationship in the ocean is acceptable from a regular and economic point of view. The relationship between land and sea is increasing in the role and importance of the "blue economy" as the term emerges in the background. . A literature review was conducted to analyze the correct definition of the blue economy. This definition is analyzed based on the minimum requirements that are important for the blue economy. This article also tries to compile various types of activities related to marine services. This is done to determine what can be considered priority areas for blue economic growth. The blue economy concept is based on national economic development. This is comprehensively useful for achieving overall national development. Environmental accounting is stated as a process of reducing negative values ​​and creating positive values ​​in environmental accountability.

The management of oil and gas (Migas) in Indonesian energy law has witnessed a shift towards national control, including provisions in the 1945 Constitution that establish natural resources as state wealth. Law No. 22/2001 regulates various technical, economic, environmental, and community participation aspects of the oil and gas sector. Decisions by the Constitutional Court (MK) have clarified the state's ownership of Migas resources in accordance with the constitution. Renewable energy is crucial for Indonesia's sustainable development, with collaboration between the government and the private sector aimed at increasing the penetration of renewable energy, overcoming financial barriers, and protecting the environment. The MK's decision regarding Law No. 22/2001 supports state sovereignty, the interests of the people, and the goals of preserving natural resources and sustainable development. The key issue at hand is the nature of oil and gas management in Indonesian energy law and whether the legal considerations in the Constitutional Court's decision No. 36/PUU-X/2012 align with Indonesian energy law. The research method employed in this study is a normative juridical approach, also referred to as doctrinal research, which involves the examination of legal documents and literature. Through this research, Indonesia aims to fulfill its commitment to reducing environmental impact and dependence on fossil fuels through renewable energy sources.

In contemporary environmental discourse, the role of Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) and collaborative efforts between Public Relations (PR) practitioners and environmental experts hold significant relevance. This study explores the pivotal role of communication strategies in environmental campaigns and the collaborative mechanisms between PR and environmental specialists within various organizational contexts. Estaswara (2000) underscores the strategic necessity of integrated communication in marketing, emphasizing its transformation from a mere promotional tool to a strategic business process. The findings highlight the insufficiency of environmental awareness alone in inciting tangible action. Discussions center around designing campaign messages to effectively drive concrete and sustainable behavioral changes. Collaboration between PR and environmental experts is articulated through several methods. Firstly, monitoring emissions involves joint efforts to develop and manage  emission monitoring systems like Continuous Industrial Emission Monitoring Information System (CISPEK) and Continuous and Networked Effluent Water Quality Monitoring System (SPARING). Secondly, Performance Rating Program for Environmental Performance (PROPER) is used by PR to establish cooperation and enhance public trust in environmental management. Thirdly, effective communication and community engagement leverage social media and communal activities to disseminate information and amalgamate feedback from the public. The jurnal asserts the vital role of PR in fostering public participation, guiding communities on critical issues, and encouraging their contribution to sustainable development. By providing pertinent explanations, PR elevates societal awareness regarding crucial issues like environmental sustainability, climate change, and public health, stimulating active involvement in sustainable development endeavors..

This research aims to analyze the judge's decision regarding environmental crimes committed by corporations through Decision Number 190/Pid.B/LH/2020/PN Plw. This research uses a type of normative research with three approaches for the purposes of legal analysis and explanation, namely the case approach, statutory approach and conceptual approach. In contrast to previous research, this research specifically describes how judges interpret judges' interpretations in deciding cases of environmental crimes committed by corporations in more detail, not only from a criminal law perspective but also from the perspective of environmental law itself. The results of this research show that the Defendant in the "a quo" case is not a human being/person who can physically act and speak in front of the court, but rather a corporation with a legal entity, so in this case the Defendant PT. APAI must be represented by its administrator, namely Mr. GKE who is the Director of PT. WHAT. The defendant's actions were categorized as gross negligence because they reflected very serious negligence because they had a significant impact and were detrimental to the wider community. The defendant was not sentenced to prison but was only sentenced to a minimum fine in accordance with the provisions of Article 99 Paragraph (1). The defendant was also sentenced to additional punishment or disciplinary action in the form of reparation for the consequences of the criminal act even though this article was not included in the prosecutor's indictment. The additional punishment imposed is in the form of the amount of costs required to improve the environment in the amount of land that has been determined by taking into account the polluter pays principle and the precautionary principle. For this reason, the imposition of additional criminal sanctions should be decided by considering the concept of sustainable and environmentally sound development by taking into account various aspects including social, economic and environmental.
