Bali 3

Dear readers,

Apologies for being so long disconnected. Here in El Nido, (where I am now) There is no electricity till 2 pm everyday and there is no wifi in every place. So it is not than easy to keep blog updated.
Anyway, here I am again and I wanted to let you know what I picked up in other beach in Indonesia, Nusa Dua at Bali.
On this beach, you can find a lot of good resorts. Beach is white sand and blue water beach. We could say that is one of the best beaches in Bali for resting and relaxing.
Here is where my good friend Dziga told me when he saw me picking up rubbish... Why don´t you post it in Care for Gaia? And he encouraged me to do it in every beach I am from that moment. So here you have what I picked up in just 10 minutes.
As you can see, it is a lot of rubbish on a beach that should be very clean for high budget tourism. But it is not.
I am still remembering the faces of the local people when they saw us with the blue plastic bag full of rubbish.
They could not believe it and somehow, they did not understand why we were doing this.

A lot of work from every of us to educate people for this. Fortunately, I can say that Philippines is different. I have seen good behaviours here and I will share with you asap.

Bali 2

After two months almost coming back from Bali, I have settle some ideas about Bali and I would like to share with you my opinions.
Bali is one of the most famous islands in the South East Asia. It belongs to Indonesia, and it is the most common touristic area in this country.
Very famous for surfing, Australians and surfers from everywere meet in Bali to enjoy it brave waters in the south. Kuta, is the main meeting point but you can find several places around. North part is famous for diving and you can find very beautiful diving points.
Well. That is a small summarize about what you can find in Bali. Surf, beaches, nature and party.
Now I want to give some details about the quality in the environmental care. Probably I have been in the most dirty beaches in my life. Not because Indonesian people is dirty. Because sea give back to us our own rubbish.
Several beaches are not developed yet and you can go there to have a relaxing day around nature. The problem is that you will find a lot of kind of rubbish on the sand because no one cares and clean the beaches.

 For example, what happend to us in Soka beach. Black sand beach with beautiful landscape but full of plastics. Picture on the right side shows the beach when you get there. Picture on the left side shows what you will find if you walk a little bit around the beach.

As follows you have two pictures showing what kind of plastic and rubbish, even toys parts as wheels.

There is a fishermenvillage on this beach what incrementsthe rubbish on this beautiful beach because they bring it on their nets.
At least some locals try to pick up some rubbish as you can see in the last picture.
Now we have to be concious that beautiful places on earth, are being damage because of our actions.
I will publish more posts about other different beaches.



 Greetings from the Philippines!!
