CLEAN BALI SERIES
How would you feel when seeing a farmer tilting his soil mixed with plastic trash just before planting?...
... It often happens in Bali...
Due to lack of information and the fact that before, the packages were mostly made of organic materials (banana or palm leaves, etc.) which easily decomposed, the local people behavior does not adjust as fast as the
tourism grows and the modernity makes plastic, a cheaper and easily obtained source. Because we adults don't seem to be so flexible when it comes to changing behaviors,
We believe it is worth to plant precious seeds to rise awareness in our children. What is Clean Bali Series and what does it do?
- Clean Bali Series is an environmental education organization.
- We are a not for profit organization that has and continues to publish a series of hard back, full color illustration, children’s environmental books in three languages (Bahasa Indonesia, Balinese and English). The books focus on the pollution problems of the different areas of the island of Bali (beach, rice fields and mountains) and of Indonesia as a whole.
- The books are distributed FREE OF CHARGE to schools, educational programs and environmental organizations.
- Additional support and information (environmental programs, book readings, story telling, songs, games, posters etc.) is provided for the schools, educational programs and environmental organizations that receive our books.
- The books are also available for purchase at various retail shops and bookstores in Bali and Jakarta. ALL PROCEEDS from the retail sales of the books are used to print additional copies of the books in the series to be distributed free of charge to schools, educational programs and environmental groups. What is the purpose of the "Clean Bali Series"?
- To bring attention to the pollution problems here in Bali and Indonesia as well as the rest of the world.
- To provide information, basic education and an understanding of these pollution problems and their causes, as well as possible solutions to them.
- To prepare this generation and future generations through our efforts, to be better
prepared for and better able to make educated and informed decisions when dealing with present and future pollution issues.
