Bye bye Plastic Bags in Bali

The motivation behind this blog post: I want to help preserve the beautiful nature of Bali. April 2013, I  spent a month there during my yoga teacher training and talked to the indigenous people. I saw all the plastic lying around on the island and asked them if they have a strategy for that.
They say we can not imagine how much waste and plastic young kids from Bali are collecting and putting away from dumpsters. Without these volunteers Bali would not even have a chance.  People dump their waste in a big valley, there is no measure or enforcement, to stop them from doing this at the moment. There needs to be a solution on a global scale, to reform the way recycling is currently done in Bali. That valley needs to be cleaned out, so the Earth and nature can live and breath again. This was in Candidasa, a little town close to Ubud, but some more touristy areas, such as Kuta, the surf paradise are even more polluted.

The problem is, nothing happens with the waste, it takes hundreds of years for the plastic to degrade, therefore the best we can do to create a sustainable future for the sake of our children, and generations to come is to stop the madness and BAN plastic bags on Bali. There needs to be a better organization of recycling on the island as well, since today most things you can buy at the supermarket are made of plastic and people throw them away without thinking of the consequences. Let's reconsider the way we do waste management. 

Why this is important?

Please SIGN THIS PETITION to save Bali from plastic!

This petition will help to create a law that will forbid the use, sales and productions of plastic bags on the island of Bali, if we get 1 million signatures.

This petition will be delivered to the Governor of Bali, Mister Pastika, and hopefully result in a waste management reform on the island.

You can also visit this Facebook page to follow a mobilizing program:
https://www.facebook.com/plastikdetox
PlastikDetox Bali is a campaign to reward shops and cafes that are taking genuine efforts to reduce plastic bag use.
