The more waste is dumped into the environment, the more nature strikes back. Bali’s beaches face
a “tsunami of trash.”
The consequences of human actions begin to strike back as Bali, a beautiful tourist destination, faces a “tsunami of trash” with nearly 70 tons of waste, almost erasing its once pristine beauty.
“Bali Island” in Indonesia is well-known among sea travelers for its stunning nature and numerous marine activities. However, recently, Bali was struck by a “Trash Tsunami,” leaving nearly 70 tons of waste along its beaches. This event happens every year during the monsoon season due to issues with waste management and the global pollution crisis.
One of the members of the non-profit organization “Sungai Watch” posted pictures and videos showing large amounts of trash on the beach, with 70% being plastic waste.
Every year, large amounts of trash are collected from the beaches, and the waste situation continues to worsen. Besides Bali, other islands also face the same issue due to Indonesia’s poor waste management.
With the influx of tourists, the amount of waste increases as well. Since Indonesia is unable to address the waste problem year after year, these beautiful beaches will continue to face an endless “trash tsunami.”
