Balis Environmental Crisis - An Ocean of Drift-Wood & Plastic

- Опубликовано: 11 янв 2025
- Massive rain storms and a lack of centralised waste management have led to the annual crisis on many Bali beaches where millions of plastic cups and other waste are being swept up the beach, often blanketing the pristine tourist attractions.
It’s amazing how they clean the beach every day and then it comes back. They do such a good job every day
The seafood sounds great! I'm coming over for a month in April/May 2025 and will have to give it a try. I've been writing down a lot of your recommendations, so keep up the good work mate. Fun to watch!
Upstream all rivers and drain they dump their garbage bags into rivers and ravines. When rainy season set in the garbage is washed down and end up on the beaches. It is all a homegrown issue
These single use cups are only used by locals who are given out free at Bali traditional temple ceremonies then thrown into rivers and small waterways
It's not just Indonesia but a global problem with these plastic containers. The solution is to have a proper waste collection and disposal system so that these things don't make their way into the ocean. Kudos to the guy who cleans this area daily. Pls keep spreading the awareness.
Nah, solution is to use less crap.. less useless stuff that nobody needs, less single use packaging . It's all so dumb... We invented something that lasts for years and years and years yet made it single use ! 😅 genius
@bungle0261 but the fact is single use plastic exists and it is used by most of the food packaging hotels. It is economical so it is being used. Only solution is to collect the thrash properly.
@@hctaw1 collect it and then what ? Just keep producing it and putting it into piles after using it once?
@@bungle0261reduce and recycle. Nowadays most of the plastics are designed for recycle or use it for alternative use.
WOW- One of my best memories of Bali was the birthday my gf had on Jimbaran. The Keep Aust beautiful was a great campaign, I lived and worked in a Roadhouse as a kid i remember handing out littler bags to customers with their change. As for Singapore my 1st Trip was in 1974 and Clarke Quay was just warehouses and the water was full of rubbish. This same area is now Singapore's drinking water revisor . Love your work Muzza
Was snorkelling out from candidasa on those small islands last month and I filled my pockets with so many plastic bags its a beautiful spot lots of tropical fish but the rubbish is a big problem
Really sad sight Muzza
Hi Muzza
So sad to see the beautiful beaches 😔
5 years ago it was so beautiful the sands were I know the beaches are still beautiful but it’s sad to see this getting worse.
Good to see your video on this a big thumbs up from Perth Australia
Unfortunately I have seen people throw rubbish on the ground with no consideration of the environment,
Education starts in the schools and will take a long time to filter down to the older generation.
It needs to start sooner rather than later
A beautiful island but so much rubbish in waterways and streets
The amount of garbage is growing, which means the new generation is less and less educated about this. But the old generation are also not saints. Just dumping their household trash into the ocean because it's less expensive.
Thats the point! As long parents and grand parents still dump every trash in the waterways or burn it, schools can do NOTHING!
I wonder that people still eat fish under this conditions! How much microplastic do they eat!
There is no environmental crisis. There is a useless governmental crisis.. The people deserve better.
Bali leaders have been saying the plastic trash has been a problem for the past 15-18 years, but NOTHING has been done about it. Indonesia is something like the 5th or 7th worse country for throwing trash into the ocean, while the Philippines is the 1st, the top of the list for throwing trash into the ocean. At some point, tourists will go elsewhere, where they have a cheap economy but without the trash, like Thailand. I honestly don't believe the government will do anything until the tourists quit coming here.
There is a group there that installs river trash barriers, same as I do here in the Philippines. I plan to visit to meet and discuss my version of Trash Kaboom that is made from used tires and plastic bottles, nearly free to make..plus they can survive a typhoon.
I’d love to connect with them and hear more about your version of the river trash barrier.
Ok, but where does it go after cleaning? Not only hard work, but also probably expensive to have it properly disposed of.
The waste goes to one of the many landfills in the hinterland of Bali. There the plastic rots over the next 400 years into molecules that poison the groundwater more and more... there are no waste incineration plants in Bali...
@ursdreyer3122 well, they already have MASSIVE problems with mercury poisoning, so it's fine.. 💀
@ursdreyer3122 I had a reply, but YT removed it. Fk YT!
The government fault Not Teaching their peoples to clean their own place that to attract the Tourist!
Their Motto: should be Healthy, Clean & Safe! They should put local people working in the Park Dept. to clean the environment. Overall tour video is Awesome.

It's the same in the Kuta bay area, every day it gets cleaned up and every morning its back again
It's already happening in Australia on Groote Eylandt
Just got back from Bali yesterday and yep the rain was huge 🤣🤣
Wow please stop saying it beautiful my first trip was in 1980 when it was some 47 trips later I never going back
Wise man it’s a bloody horrible place better going to the Philippines
What happens to the plastic after the beach has been cleaned? Does it go to landfill? Does it get melted down?
They take it away in trucks then dump it in the nearest river. That way they do not have to pay delivery fee. Back on the beach after next rainfall.
No it gets burned in food factorys because fire wood is to expensive @PIL-t3x
@@PIL-t3xyup, just gets moved from one place to the other
I remember one of your first videos when you put most of the blame on tourism mainly Ozzy tourist, then you got a heap of backlash ( rightfully so) and deleted that video 😂 good to see you have learnt it’s the locals that litter the most here.
Is there any opportunities to help clean up the beaches?
Absolutely a mess. Kuta is the same 😢
I can’t believe you took your mates to such a disgusting beach for dinner, and then sit in the bloody sun with no umbrellas😮
Sadly, a lot of the rubbish is burned which masses dreadful, toxic fumes
Jimbaran is the biggest rip off for seafood
Where else u can eat unlimited seafood for 50$ a heads??? 😊
Driftwood is natural
Don't they burn the plastic at the tips in Bali? That's another environmental hazzard in itself🤔🤔
What you see on the beach wouldn't even be 0.0001% of what's in the ocean, it gets ground up the fish ingest the micro plastic and it ends up in the seafood your eating.
It's way way more of a problem that's in your face on the beach.
It can be fixed, if they want to fix it.
Shocker
Leave the oysters... they filter the micro plastic!
And in Europe we have to drink with paper straws.
Hey Muzza, do you and Vie ever eat Tuna?
I was told by a Balinese woman that the women in particular dont eat tuna as it has too much Mercury........🕊🙏💙🙏
Muzza love tuna he eats tuna ever week. And me doesn't like tuna😊
All over Bali from shore to to shore there is a sea of gargage everywhere you look....., it reminds me of Mexico.
It is hard to understand why the Balinese have so little regard for their environment. This is a cultural failure.
The government levies a stiff tax everywhere you go and not a garbage can or truck anywhere.....! Full plastic garbage bags everywhere on the streets. The dogs rip open the bags and scatter crap all over the ground. Life goes on like the garbage is invisible.
They heave garbage into their streams then when the floods come it all goes into the ocean! I know it isn't just Bali.......
They dump their garbage along riversides and into rivers, then when it rains it washes out to sea then back onto the beaches. But it’s blamed on “tourism” or “it comes from Java”🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ Can never just take responsibility and be/do better! Always someone else’s fault!
Damn that's a lot of plastic bs
Nepal kids singing it! ruclips.net/video/6YT38LLCWtQ/видео.htmlsi=KGh4ZrQJhXXaIVxx
And the restaurant is just nearby those trash. How about the smell of the surrounding.
It doesn't bother anyone, it's completely normal, you just have to get used to it and keep having fun in Bali... what else...😅
Sorry thats bull about seeing rubbish on the side of the road like you said in the 70’s
I went to Mt Magnet earlier this year and the rubbish and beer bottles are still an easy way to see how far you are from town.
No rubbish in Bali in the 70:s I was there packaging was banana leaves
@@AbbeyWare-qy1keshe talker about roads no wideing since than 😮
All good in nusa lembongan

The tourist tax is supposed to fund that, yeah my arse it does. They need a grading tractor and actually remove it from the beach . Not just bury it in holes on the beach , the locals will tell you it’s from Java. 🫢🐨😂 The locals do try. Bless them.
@Janieblueyes they don't bury it, it gets removed every day and accumulates as soon as they stop. The ocean is full of it
@ that great, things must have change in the last 3 months , awesome 🙌

It's only plastic bottles and woods. No smell😊
