Given that one day fossil fuels will end, a need arises to find alternative fuels. Renewable energy is considered an alternative to fossil fuels and nowadays it attracts much attention. Among renewable sources, solar is the most important available in all parts of the world. Also, this energy source is used in various industries including agriculture and it can be used in cultivating crops in the farthest corners of the world. In addition, this fuel does not cause pollution, like the other fossil fuels. Using the solar energy can be active in all agricultural areas. That will definitely help meet the need for agricultural products with the population. However, it is known that the agricultur land has a fixed area and, sometimes, agricultural products cannot be cultivated. That greenhouse is a method that is used nowadays and using the solar energy can help build solar greenhouses in areas far away from the city. Other applications of solar include irrigation, drying products, and ventilation niches. In this study, the researchers discuss some of the benefits of solar energy in agriculture.

“…Based on the projection results show that Indonesia's population over the next twenty-five years continues to increase, from 238.5 million in 2010 to 305.6 million in 2035 [2]. This large population has the consequence of the high need for natural resources and consumption continues to increase, suggesting that the impacts on environment will also continue to grow [1] [3].…”

Towards sustainability requires a revolution in understanding and solving environmental problems. Sustainable consumption education is an education that is indispensable to form individuals who have a sense of responsibility towards the environment by being wise in choosing their daily needs. Sustainable consumption education is not a field of study that stands alone, it is integrated into a field of study in school. The Purpose of this research is to develop the model of sustainable consumption education on learning social studies in junior high school to increase student's attention to towards sustainability environment. This study reviews various literatures to strengthen the evidence of the model proposed. It is proposed that various themes on the social studies lesson is believed to be effective way to educate student on the understanding of sustainable consumption issues and make them to make an enough action to show their attention to the environment.

“…This is the largest number ever recorded in history. Compounding the problem is the fact that per capita grain production in the world has been declining for the past 15 years (FAO 1996;Pimentel et al 1997a). Grains as a group make up 80% of the food consumed worldwide.…”

“…While the per capita world food supply has been declining, serious environmental problems have been increasing due to the rapidly expanding world population and shortages of the basic resources required for food production (Pimentel et al 1997a;1997b). The expansion of world trade increases the potential for more pest problems, increased pesticide use, and greater concern about protecting the environment.…”

Plant protection, trade, and a quality environment have complex interrelationships. Despite the annual application of 2.5 million tons of pesticides in the world, pests destroy more than 40% of total potential food production. This represents an enormous loss of food for either consumption or export at a time when more than two billion humans are malnourished in the world. Although worldwide pesticides reduce some losses inflicted by pests, they also cause serious public health and environmental pollution problems which cost about $100 billion per year.
