KUTA, Bali (Indonesia): Hundreds of volunteers joined a clean-up in Bali, Indonesia, on Saturday (Jan 4) as monsoon rains brought what an activist described as “the worst” waves of plastic waste to hit its tourist-favoured beaches.
The South-east Asian nation is one of the world’s biggest contributors of plastic pollution and marine debris, with annual monsoon rains and winds sweeping mountains of plastic waste from its cities and rivers into the ocean.
