My friend and colleague, Andrew Stephens is currently in Bali. We both joke about how much we really love Bali - passionately. Words like Mudsharks, and Kuta Cowboys are often part of the conversation, along with surfing, chilling and how in the world do we get to live and work there!
It's currently Summer and surf season, added that its the long Christmas Holidays and like Andrew, many Australians make Bali their home for a few months. With this comes.... rubbish.
Andrew recently sent me some photos of the beautiful beaches, littered with rubbish - plastic bags, bottles, basic rubbish that doesn't break down and drowns our beaches and waterways, while suffocating the marine life.
It broke my heart. Here is his post and photos. If you do get to Bali and have a few hours spare in your day, please contact Make A Change and volunteer to pick up some trash.

Before heading to Amed for some freediving, I had a few days in Seminyak working. Ducking down to the river mouth near Ku de Ta for a quick surf check revealed the entire beach covered in plastic and junk.
The sight of this trash was absolutely devastating.
Thankfully +Lisa Fryar pointed me to Make A Change Bali to see if any volunteer beach cleanups were available in the next few days and provided some inspiration about how people are dealing with the pollution and rubbish problem here in Indonesia.
Thanks #worldnomads
Daily clean up
Imagine lying under these beach umbrellas!
