"Everything changes, nothing
is everlasting, eternal is change itself," says a famous Greek philosopher
trying to express that no one thing is certain in this world except change.
Change happens all the time, even every second. The main key to the challenges
of change is innovation. Where there is an innovation, that is where the figure
of an emerging leader. Leaders and innovation are two things that should always
go hand in hand.
Innovative is one item of the Nine

and innovative ideas. As we know, the current global issues really are at the
peak fame is back to nature. One important section of this issue is the use of
waste as well as the development of renewable energy sources.
Various outstanding works in the
field of development of renewable energy have created a lot of creative
thinking and innovative idea of SMAN Bali Mandara students. The work of the
SMAN Bali Mandara students writing "Young Smanbara scientis Club"
last October has successfully achieved prize for Innovation Essay Contest held
by PT (Persero) Distribution PLN Bali. In the general category competition,
three contingents of SMAN Bali Mandara managed to be the top 10 finalists and
competed with other participants, mostly from students and faculties.
Contingent SMAN Bali Mandara paper entitled "Utilization of feces in
Dormitory SMAN Bali Mandara into Biogas Biodigester Method" won the second,
represented by Viona Damayanti, Rama Wijaya and Orna Govinda Jaya. The idea that
is so creative appeared because the increasing need for alternative energy
development with the raw materials that are cheap and easily obtained. In the
development of biogas, the raw material is very abundant in the dorm of SMAN
Bali Mandara.
A second contingent was represented
by Linda Permitasari, Lilis Mahayani Dewi Sinta and successfully won third

Alternative Energy towards SMAN Bali Mandara GREAT (green, share, care, clean
and healthy)". This paper is more focused on the development of
alternative energy as a solution of the rare and expensive fuel nowadays. The
raw material briquettes are very easy to obtain, the organic waste from the
twigs, leaves, and other organic waste.
Clearly it can be seen that these
works are based on the concern SMAN Bali Mandara’s students to the
environmental issue. However, innovation is not only beneficial for the local
area Kubutambahan and Buleleng, but also be very beneficial for global
environment. This is certainly consistent with one of the qualifications to be
possessed by a leader that think global, act local.

Concern for the environment that is balanced with innovation is one of the
vital needs in the midst of a leadership crisis that hit the country. Through
the writing of scientific papers is expected to improve the sensitivity of
students especially students of SMAN Bali Mandara on global issues that can be
created sensitive leader to any changes that can bring an innovation to meet
