Melati and Isabel Wijsen are sisters and environmental activists. These 2 teen activists noticed that on their home island of Bali, there were hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of trash that their island was generating. At the time, they were kids and they couldn't do too much about it. So they thought about what they could do to save the island from becoming a junkyard. So they looked towards plastic bags, they researched and they found nothing good about plastic bags and the fact that we don't even need them. They got a group together and they started to pick up hundreds of plastic bags. They were heavily noticed and the Bali airport agreed to let them get signatures to ban all plastic bags from Bali. Eventually the governor of Bali recognized their actions and signed a form that will ban all plastic bags in Bali by 2018.

Melati and Isabel Wijsen: Our campaign to ban plastic bags in Bali

Plastic bags are essentially indestructible, yet they're used and thrown away with reckless abandon. Most end up in the ocean, where they pollute the water and harm marine life; the rest are burned in garbage piles, where they release harmful dioxins into the atmosphere.

Many islands are getting polluted and ridding of their natural beauty and beautiful sights because of plastic bags. Take Bali, a very beautiful island in Indonesia. They have many beautiful forests and trees, and that's what you might think about Bali. But there is another side to Bali that many people don't talk about. The island is also filled with trash and waste just lying around, specifically plastic bags. Bali generates 680 cubic meters of plastic waste on a singular day! Less than 5% of these plastic bags actually get properly get recycled. Not just in Bali, there are lots of plastic bags that end up in drains, rivers, seas, and oceans. Some of these plastic bags don't even end up like that, but are instead burned or trashed around.

Start into how Climate Change affects the environment

Climate change affects the whole Earth and not just a specific place or group of people. Fossil fuels are a big source of the Earth heating up. Even if we stopped using fossil fuels completely, the Earth would still continue to heat up for a while. How this affects the environment is more forest fires and 250 species of animals a day going extinct due to the changing climate.

Animals' Loss of habitat is the biggest reason why many animals are going endangered. Lots of animals and plants are meant to grow or thrive in a specific environment or habitat. The main reason all these environments and habitats are disappearing is because of humans settling in forests, rain-forests, grasslands, and much more. Some Marshlands are drained for the purpose of farming and more profit. Coral Reefs are getting heavily destroyed because of humans messing with the ecosystem. Rain-forests are one of the biggest habitats in the world and they are getting rapidly destroyed. Without their habitats, animals can not live a normal life and many times can not survive, therefore making them go rapidly extinct.

Animals are leaving their natural habitats and lots of their numbers are decreasing because of wildlife trade. Lots of animals are being traded to zoos, given for research, killed for fur clothing, or just straight up taken. Pet dealers separate babies from their mothers. This is related to the environment because the ecosystem keeps the environment running and we are partially destroying that cycle.

Climate change is causing a great increase in wildfires across the world. According to a WorldBook article about climate change, it says, "Climate change is causing an increase in wildfires. The combination of warmer weather and more frequent and severe droughts associated with climate change makes large wildfires more likely, particularly in dry parts of the globe such as Australia and the western United States." This all affects the environment because the environment literally burning in front of our eyes.

Melati (21) and Isabel Wijsen (19) started Bye Bye Plastic Bags at the ages of 10 and 12, after being inspired by a lesson in school about significant people, like Nelson Mandela, Lady Diana, and Mahatma Gandhi. The sisters returned home that day and asked themselves, 'What can we do as children living in Bali, NOW, to make a difference?' Bye Bye Plastic Bags was born in 2013 and has now grown into a well known international movement of inspiration, youth empowerment, and of course, saying NO to plastic bags.

In this passionate call to action, 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg explains why, in August 2018, she walked out of school and organized a strike to raise awareness of global warming, protesting outside the Swedish parliament and grabbing the world’s attention. “The climate crisis has already been solved. We already have all the facts and solutions,” Thunberg says. “All we have to do is to wake up and change.”

STOP FOSSIL FUELS! This is one of the biggest solutions we can do. We need to start using renewable energy! Solar panels, hydro power, and much more! There are many alternatives than fossil fuels and they are not reliable as well!

Humans need to preserve the environments more because they are all dying because of human settlement! More profit are destroying the environments and habitats. We need to think more about the preservation of habitats than our own profit because it will affect us. If we cut down trees, we get less oxygen. PRESERVE THE ENVIRONMENTS!

Plastic garbage/bags are not needed and they harm the environment by hurting the animals because they think that the plastic bags are foods. It is polluting the streets and making it hard to live society peacefully.
