Bali has a $40 million trash problem — and it’s up to the tourism industry to clean it up
Over a six-week period this spring, the Indonesian nongovernmental organizationcollected more than 40 tons, or 80,000 pounds, of trash from Bali’s Jimbaran Bay—traditionally a bucket list paradise known for its grilled seafood restaurants, surf break and idyllic Four Seasons Resort.
The magnitude surprised nobody on-site. Tsunamis of trash like this have become a recurring issue: They wash over from neighboring Java, the world’s most populous island, during monsoon season each year. But as tourism roars back post-pandemic, global awareness of the issue is soaring thanks to viral videos on social media and a flurry of news coverage.
