Banjarmasin Mayor Ibnu Sina together with Head of Education Agency Totok Agus launched my planting school program at the state junior high school SMPN 11, South Banjarmasin, Saturday.

Ibnu Sina said that the launching of an environmentally friendly school was aimed that schools in the city will become schools that do gardening and growing crops.

School students are expected to be smarter, especially in the environmental field. "They will be the golden generation in environmental conservation in the future," he remarked.

It is not only students who need to learn about the environment, but the teachers as well.
