Abstract

This research highlights the importance of supporting and disseminating the concept of green economy as a critical step towards the sustainability of human life on this planet. The main focus of this study is to analyze the usage of plastic and the damage caused by plastic waste, as illustrated in the documentary film "Plastic Island". In this context, the research explains the concept of green economy and its relevance in reducing plastic usage. This research adopts a qualitative approach with eco-critical literary text analysis. Data were obtained through literature review and content analysis of the film "Plastic Island". Subsequently, the data were transcribed and analyzed in detail to identify scenes related to plastic usage and its negative impacts. The results of the research show that the documentary film "Plastic Island" clearly illustrates the environmental damage caused by plastic waste, including damage to agricultural land, threats to human health, and air pollution. Furthermore, the film also depicts the concept of green economy policies applied to reduce plastic usage. Thus, this research emphasizes the importance of the sustainability of human life and the environment for future generations, and highlights the significant role of the green economy concept in addressing the challenge of plastic usage. Emphasizing cross-sector cooperation and community participation in implementing green economy policies is key to achieving positive environmental change.

 

Abstrak

Penelitian ini menyoroti pentingnya mendukung dan menyebarkan konsep green economy sebagai langkah kritis menuju keberlanjutan kehidupan manusia di planet ini. Fokus utama penelitian ini adalah menganalisis penggunaan plastik dan kerusakan yang ditimbulkan oleh sampah plastik yang diilustrasikan dalam film dokumenter “Pulau Plastik”. Dalam konteks tersebut, penelitian ini menjelaskan konsep green economy dan relevansinya dalam mengurangi penggunaan plastik. Penelitian ini mengadopsi pendekatan kualitatif dengan analisis teks ekokritik sastra. Data diperoleh melalui studi literatur dan analisis konten film "“Pulau Plastik”". Selanjutnya, data ditranskripsikan dan dianalisis secara detail untuk mengidentifikasi adegan yang berkaitan dengan penggunaan plastik dan dampak negatifnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa film dokumenter “Pulau Plastik” mengilustrasikan secara jelas kerusakan alam yang disebabkan oleh sampah plastik, termasuk kerusakan lahan pertanian, ancaman kesehatan manusia, dan pencemaran udara. Selain itu, film ini juga menggambarkan konsep kebijakan green economy yang diterapkan untuk mengurangi penggunaan plastik. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini menekankan pentingnya keberlanjutan kehidupan manusia dan alam untuk generasi mendatang, serta menyoroti peran penting konsep green economy dalam menghadapi tantangan penggunaan plastik. Penekanan pada kerja sama lintas sektor dan partisipasi masyarakat dalam menerapkan kebijakan green economy menjadi kunci dalam mencapai perubahan positif dalam lingkungan hidup.
