The document proposes solutions to reduce global warming from traffic jams in Jakarta and carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel power plants. It suggests implementing electronic toll collection on highways to reduce traffic and associated carbon dioxide from idling vehicles. It also recommends developing small thermal electric generators that convert human body heat into electricity when sleeping, reducing reliance on power plants and fossil fuels for minor energy needs. The document addresses traffic-related and power generation sources of carbon dioxide as contributors to global warming.

2. BACKGROUND
The main source of global warming is carbon dioxide gas which
come from the fossil fuel use.
Most of the fossil fuel was use on electricity power plant and
transportation.
In transportation fossil fuel was use to run the vehicle.
Meanwhile in Indonesia, especially in Jakarta traffic jam always
happening.
The traffic jam makes every single vehicle run longer, which
mean more carbon dioxide being release to the atmosphere.
Most of the traffic jam in Jakarta happen in the high way road
especially before the toll gate.
The traffic jam happened because all the vehicle needs to stop
in the toll booth and paid the toll price

3. SOLUTIONS
“ELECTRONIC TOLL COLLECTION”
Electronic Toll Collection is a techonolgy which has been developed
in aims to reduces the delay when people paid the payment on the
toll booth
This technology has already been used in other country but not in
Indonesia
This technology the vehicle which had had the device just need to
pass by the gantry.
This solutions can only be done if the government has install the
gantry and the owner of the vehicle has install the device.
This way the traffic jam will be reduce and less fossil fuel will be burn
away.

4. OTHER CARBON DIOXIDE PROBLEM
As we know earlier, the main source of global warming is
carbon dioxide gas which come from the fossil fuel use
and most of the fossil fuel was use on electricity power
plant and transportation.
Electricity power plant will need more fossil fuel to fill all
the electricity demand.
If the demand getting higher it will cause more fossil fuel
will be burn.
When the fossil fuel is being burn it will produces the
energy for the electricity and also carbon dioxide.

5. SOLUTIONS
If every home can get other source of electricity it will reduce the demand and less fossil fuel
will be use.
Everynight people will sleep, but, even when they sleep human body still produces heats
This heats can be use as small source of electricity which can be use in to recharge gadget
battery or to turn on the bedroom lamp.
This product could be created by using Thermal Electric Generator and an a bed
This way people don’t need to use the electricity from the fossil fuel power plant for small
energy needs product.
