We can find music basically everywhere in our daily life and we can see that very often music is used as a tool to engineer change in our community. And throughout history, music has been a vehicle for enacting change in the world. “If we can make music for a good cause and shine a light to people around us, why not?” This thought is something that brought The Overtunes, an Indonesian band of brothers consisting of Mada Emmanuelle, Mikha Angelo and Reuben Nathaniel to keep doing their best to use their music as a tool to contribute to bring positive change to people out there. Joko Widodo (popularly known as Jokowi; born 21 June 1961) is the President of Indonesia, in office since 2014. Previously he was Mayor of Surakarta from 2005 to 2012 and Governor of Jakarta from 2012 to 2014. He is the first Indonesian president not to have emerged from the country’s political elite or as an army general Jokowi was nominated by his party, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), to run in the 2012 Jakarta gubernatorial election with Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (often known as Ahok, his childhood nickname used by his father) as his running mate.Jokowi was elected as Governor of Jakarta on 20 September 2012 after a second round runoff election in which he defeated the incumbent governor Fauzi Bowo. Jokowi's win was widely seen as reflecting popular voter support for "new" or "clean" leaders rather than the "old" style of politics in Indonesia. Environmental Sustainability At a national workshop on Indonesia'€™s moratorium hosted by the United Nations earlier this month, noted Indonesian ecologist Sonya Dewi likened the moratorium to a durian. She spoke of its polarizing effect. People either love it or hate it. While at first glance, it may appear difficult and prickly, when broken apart, it can yield a nutritious and beneficial sustenance. Similarly, other participants noted that, in both Indonesian and global discussions on forestry and broader resource management, people often speak of '€œlow hanging fruit'€• or '€œquick wins'€•. This refers to making short-term achievements that can maintain the momentum needed to institute long- term reforms necessary to achieve sustainability. Without a doubt, temporary gains in a positive direction are important. Learning from the past and present for the future .
