BALI GREEN MEETING
Mari Wujudkan Bali Lestari
Behind the beautiful scenery of Bali lies a hidden reality: piles of waste that grow larger every day. This is where every piece of single-use plastic and unmanaged waste eventually ends up. Heavy machinery works to flatten the mountains of garbage, but the real solution does not lie there — it lies in our awareness to reduce, sort, and recycle. Let’s start with small actions to create a big change for a greener planet.
Deforestation occurs when a forest area loses its trees due to illegal logging, fires, or land conversion. As a result, the land becomes barren and vulnerable to disasters such as floods and landslides. Deforestation also leads to the loss of wildlife habitat and accelerates global warming. Mitigation efforts can be implemented through reforestation, forest conservation, and law enforcement against environmental destruction.
"Reforestation is an effort to restore nature’s balance by planting trees in deforested areas to protect ecosystems, prevent disasters, and preserve life."
Caring for the environment is a responsibility that belongs to everyone. The Earth we stand on today is not only ours but also belongs to future generations. Therefore, we must protect nature through real actions such as planting trees, saving energy, and reducing the use of single-use plastics. Nature gives us life, and in return, we must preserve it to keep it sustainable.
Waste may seem small or unimportant, but its impact on the environment is enormous. Even the tiniest piece of litter thrown carelessly can pollute the soil, water, and air. Start with simple actions like throwing trash in its proper place, separating organic and non-organic waste, and applying the 3R principle Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Through these small steps, we can contribute to keeping the Earth clean and create a healthy environment for all living beings.
