Plastic pollution is one of the greatest environmental issues we are facing today. Plastic and microplastic are everywhere; in our oceans, in nature and in the air that we breathe. It affects wildlife, habitats and our health. Studies have showed that we ingest 5 g of microplastic every week – that's as much as a credit card!
20-year-old Melati Wijsen from Bali finds it dreadful. When she and her sister were 12 and 10 years old respectively, they started the movement Bye Bye Plastic Bags, hoping to ban all plastic bags from Bali.
"We thought we could achieve the goal of banning plastic bags on Bali within a summer and here we are seven years later still on the frontlines."
In this episode of Moonshot Pirates Talks, Melati Wijsen shares more about her journey as a young chagemaker and climate activist, and gives advice on where to start when you want to make a change in our world.
