Plastic waste is an important issue around the world. Plastics poison our ocean, which indirectly threaten our lives. This is a fact that most people do not realize. Here, Melati and Isabel Wijsen, together with Better World International, will talk about the seriousness of plastic waste and how to improve the plastic waste issue.

Melati and Isabel Wijsen are the two Balinese sisters who found “Bye bye plastic bags” aiming at banning #plasticbags in Bali. They also inspire to persuade people not using plastic due to the serious plastic pollution.
Some early achievements of #ByeByePlasticBags so far include:
- The Governor of Bali agreeing to end the use of plastic bags by 2018
-The launch of a pilot “plastic bag free village” in Bali
- Giving local, unemployed women the opportunity to make an income from creating bags out of recycled newspapers which can be used as substitutes to plastic bags

Some learning from Melati and Isabel Wijsen
- FInd your passion and go for it
- Have a supportive team around you to help you achieve your aim
- Set measurable goals
- Never give up
