2 Bali is known by locals as an island of gods and a green paradise. People in
Bali, however, produce 680 cubic meters of plastic garbage a day. Amazingly,
this is about the size of a 14-story building, but less than 5% gets recycled.

3 Since they were driven by a love of their home and its nature, Melati and
Isabel started Bye Bye Plastic Bags in October 2013. Their aim was to put
a ban on the use and sale of single-use plastic bags in Bali to stop plastic
pollution. Their first efforts focused on giving out non-plastic bags, such as net
bags, newspaper bags, and 100% organic material bags, to local shops. They
also began to teach locals and let them know about the pollution problems.

4 In order to educate all the island on the dangerous effects of single-use
plastic bags, Melati and Isabel thought that government policies needed to
change. They decided that they should collect one million signatures so that
officials would not ignore them. To collect that many signatures, they came
up with a great idea: collecting signatures at the very busy Bali International
Airport. They went there and talked with officials, but these people wouldn't let
them do so at first. The sisters talked again and again, and finally they were
allowed to collect signatures there. As a result of this great campaign, they
were invited to talk about it on TV programs and also at the United Nations.
