Petroleum is the main source of energy in both Indonesia and Australia, making up 30% and 36% of total energy consumption respectively. Indonesia relies on cars and motor scooters for transportation while Australia relies more on cars, with public transportation more common in major cities. Water pollution is Indonesia's main pollution problem while air pollution affects Australia more. The average daily water usage in Indonesia was 38.4L per person in 1993, much lower than Australia's 340L currently. Both countries could benefit from developing alternative energy sources like solar, wind and hydro power to reduce their large ecological footprints.

1. Environmental
Sustainability in
Indonesia

2. Firstly, lets look at sustainability
in Indonesia and Australia

3. Main Source of Energy in
Indonesia
 Petroleum is
Indonesia’s
main source
of energy
with it
making up
30% of the
total energy
consumption
for the
country

4. Alternative Energy Sources
 Indonesia does not have many
alternative energy sources but are hoping
in the near future to use the alternative
energy sources of solar power, wind
energy and hydro power to their full
potential

5. Main Source of Transport
 Indonesia’s main sources of transportation
include cars and motor scooters

6. Pollution in Indonesia
 Indonesia’s main form of pollution is
through water pollution

7. Water Use
 In 1993, it was stated that the daily usage
of water for an Indonesian was 38.4L per
day. Even though this information is quite
old, the daily usage of water used by an
Indonesian would not have changed very
drastically

8. Indonesia’s Ecological
Footprint
 Research done could not identify
Indonesia, as a whole, ecological
footprint. It would be assumed though
after looking at the previous factors, their
ecological footprint would be quite high

9. Now, lets look at Australia’s
Sustainability

10. Main Source of Energy in
Australia
 Petroleum
and other oils
make up
Australia’s
main source
of energy with
it being 36% of
the total
energy
consumption
in the country

11. Alternative Energy Sources
• Australia’s main
source of
Alternative
energy is
Hydropower

12. Main Source of Transport
 Australia’s main
source of
transportation is by
car. In major cities,
it is common to
see many people
use public
transport including
busses and trains
but in smaller
cities, public
transport is not as
common

13. Pollution
 In Australia, air pollution is the major form
of pollution faced in the country

14. Water Use
 The average daily water consumption for
an Australian is 340L per person. This
number is so high due to the fact that we
use water to drink, have showers, go to
the toilet and brush our teeth which starts
to all add up when we think about it

15. Australia’s Ecological Footprint
 Australia has one of the largest ecological
footprints in the world! Most of our
footprint is due to Green House Gas
Emissions with the average household
emitting 14 tones of greenhouse gases
each year

16. From all of the information
looked at, what did you
find interesting or surprising
and why?

17. Write down 5 points being
a combination of similarities
and differences you found
most important when
learning about Indonesia’s
and Australia’s
Environmental Sustainability
