They, too, wanted to become influential. \u201cWhy should we wait until we were grown up to be significant? We wanted to do something now,\u201d they shared at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/melati_and_isabel_wijsen_our_campaign_to_ban_plastic_bags_in_bali\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ted Global&gt;London<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So they started looking for issues facing Bali and realised how plastic garbage was destroying their home island. At the age of 10 and 12, what could the two kids do? They focused on what was realistic for them: plastic bags. That\u2019s how BBPB was born.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"max-width: 854px;\">\n<div style=\"position: relative; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.25%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.ted.com\/talks\/lang\/en\/melati_and_isabel_wijsen_our_campaign_to_ban_plastic_bags_in_bali\" width=\"854\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From 2013 till now, \u00a0BBPB has been <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.byebyeplasticbags.org\/bbpbprojects\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">raising awareness about plastic pollution<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Bali. They created educational booklets for elementary school students. The River Boom project empowers young people in Bali and the world to create \u201cBOOM\u201d &#8211; a tool to collect trash in rivers to stop it from going into the ocean. BBPB\u2019s One Island One Voice campaign has brought together like-minded businesses in Bali to commit to reducing waste. The Pilot Village program encourages shop owners to give out reusable bags, leading to a 60% reduction of single-use plastic bags. These fearless, unstoppable girls even went on a hunger strike to get a meeting with the Bali Governor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, the ban has been issued.

Beyond that, the resort also incorporates reusable amenities in their day-to-day activities such as bamboo straws, slippers made from recycled tyres. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reducing_Villa_Finder_impact\"><\/span>Reducing Villa Finder impact<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Environmental issues are very close to Villa Finder\u2019s heart.

Please take them and say no to plastic bags \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We believe in leading by example which is why we have set a goal in our Bali office to be zero waste by 2020! It won\u2019t be an easy journey, but by setting clear goals every month and encouraging good habits, we can do it. We had to take a hard look at our current office and habits; just changing the way we buy coffee or tea can make a huge difference in terms of plastic waste! Sometimes, it\u2019s not the big things, but an accumulation of all the small ones that make a huge impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/rsz_dsc05508-150x150.jpg\" src-medium=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/rsz_dsc05508-300x200.jpg\" src-large=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/rsz_dsc05508.jpg\" src-full=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/rsz_dsc05508.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/rsz_dsc05508.jpg\" alt=\"Villa Finder Goodies :) - say no to plastic bags\" title=\"\" height=\"400\" width=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12877\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_part_in_the_story\"><\/span>Your part in the story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tourism plays a major role in Bali\u2019s vibrant development.
