Wave full of waste

I was planning on a holiday with my older sister back in the 2018 to Bali. I really missed the beach that i used to visit a long time ago when i was a child. A beach where very rare tourist or even locals knows with it's own hidden beauty. The sand is white and the ocean is clear blue. Though i didn't really remember what it was like from my first visit. But after i went to the beach again, me and my sister both very shocked.


Trashes were everywhere and i believe the place wasn't like this before. Feeling disturbed by the sharp objects went through our face when the wave hits, i decided to took some of the trashes aside, so the beach keeper could easily gathered and throwed it all away. I documented some of the video but sorry for the quality.


In the end, i spent 30 minutes to gathered all the trashes and already feel exhausted enough to enjoy the beach. From those trashes, i found a really old model of packaging that no longer exist at that time. Maybe it was published before i was born. It is sad to know that : one, from a long time ago, people here don't have any responsible on trashes even until now, second : it took so many years for the trashes to dissolved, third : i can't imagine if the amount is summed from many years ago until now (maybe if we gather all of them, we can already built another island made out of plastics).


It is so pathetic that people love nature but don't like to taking care of it. Even the beach keeper looked so unsymphatic when i was there. This is my most favourite island and especially the place when i was born. That is the first time i start to curious about government regulation and action towards trashing in tourist attraction.
