It takes at least 500 years for 1 plastic bag to break down. Most end up in the ocean, where they pollute the water and harm marine life; the rest are burned in garbage piles, where they release harmful dioxins into the atmosphere. In 2013, the two sisters, who attend the environmentally minded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/green-dream-village\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Green School<\/a>, launched the campaign Bye Bye Plastic Bags. From participating in beach clean ups, going on a hunger strike and creating <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.avaaz.org\/en\/bye_bye_plastic_bags_on_bali\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">petitions<\/a>, nothing was going to stop these two young sisters. They also delivered a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/melati_and_isabel_wijsen_our_campaign_to_ban_plastic_bags_in_bali?language=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TED talk<\/a> in which they explain how action had to be taken in order to protect their island from plastic pollution. And all their hard work paid-off when they convinced Governor Pastika to commit to a plastic bag-free Bali by 2018.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/12733559_993281174085721_844211558614021766_n-150x150.jpg\" src-medium=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/12733559_993281174085721_844211558614021766_n-300x200.jpg\" src-large=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/12733559_993281174085721_844211558614021766_n-630x420.jpg\" src-full=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/12733559_993281174085721_844211558614021766_n.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/12733559_993281174085721_844211558614021766_n.jpg\" alt=\"12733559_993281174085721_844211558614021766_n\" height=\"533\" width=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7275\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Invest_in_sustainable_travel_accessoriesproducts\"><\/span>Invest in sustainable travel accessories\/products<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Reusable tote bags<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We&#8217;ve just mentioned Bali&#8217;s arch nemesis, the ubiquitous plastic bag.
