Bali isn't the same place I visited 17 yrs ago. When I travelled to Indonesia in January this year, the smog in Jakarta and the shabby state of public beaches in Bali are what I remember the most of that visit.
I was there.."95 and then its pollution was already horrible. So sad, because the people are really the nicest I've ever met. Its the corruption of the officials that put the most beautyfull country in a dumping place.
Do you eat us food that has palm oil?? then you are contributing to the deforestation of Borneo or Indonesia as tropical forest is replaced with palm plants.
Having a forest surrounding your city is a must in flood risk areas. Not to mention trees inside the city are beneficial as well. As well as drones built to disperse clouds would also help tremendously. However we don't know the long term effects cloud seeding has on the environment. Let's be honest that's how we got here in the first place so no stopping humans from doing what they want/need to do.
Corruption is an enormous problem when it comes to Indonesia. Many other problems stem from it, such as pollution. The government simply doesn't have the resources to deal with the waste they're producing because they're taking the money for themselves. The fact that Indonesia imports waste from all over the world just goes to show what the government will do for a quick buck. My mum left to go to the UK to flee this corruption, she tells me much of what happens
This will is an endless exercise in futility. Governments should shut off the major oil companies and the conglomerate multinational companies that produce these plastic packaging.😢
Refreshing to see a comment highlighting the people who are doing the right thing. We have the means and knowledge to turn things around. We just need to get to it.
I know exactly how my friends from Indonesia would react when watching this... They'd just shrug their shoulders non-chalantly and go "It's Indonesia, bro." It's not that they don't care about the issue, most of the time they do, but it's more like they have no hope that anything will ever get done or anything will ever get better so they just go on with their lives. And, sadly, it seems to be true. The strange thing with Indonesia is that, often enough, the laws are there but there never seems to be anyone to enforce them. So it just ends up with people doing whatever they want to do with no insight into how it will affect others in the future. And that's a huge shame because the country has some of the most beautiful places in the world, some of the most interesting and fascinating creatures and cultures. And, frankly, it should be a regional superpower, if not a contender for a global super power.
You do realise that Africa is an entire continent of more than a billion people, right? I highly doubt that even one country there can enforce the minimum of environmental laws let alone the 54 countries that make up the place... That being said, I agree with the sentiment that the entire continent desperately needs some environmental laws.
@@Fledermausmann The entire continent? Many parts of Africa don't even have electricity, nevermind vehicles. When it comes to admissions America is the second biggest polluter in the world.
Indonesia government should train people to do a job that can go through every container. Then buy trucks that go through the beaches that picks up the trash. Get boats that are equipped to glide over the ocean with a long bag to gather the trash that floats on top. It cost money that the government ruler should give up their life style in order to put that money for a better future for the country. A few years like that can help the children of the future
Bolivia 's situation related to plastic waste is similar. Watching this documentary is a mirror of bolivia. Here there is an awful culture to one-use plastic things, related to food, drinks, holydays, parardes, etc. It is a nefast place. and more and more the small towns are getting polluted. and the USE of so many Motorcycles is disgusting..... imagine the NOISE pollution. Corruption is the common factor
The problem is not only in bali. You can see almost all parts in Indonesia have similar problem. Hence, their Citarum river is the most polluted in the world, surpassing India. Hundreds of slums and unbearable scene of trash and waste. It's their culture, unfortunately. It's sad news to our Singapore too.
Between india and indonesia which has a higher population density? Edit: so i found out India has nearly 3 times higher population density. That's quite a feat honestly. To have more pollution will 3 times lesser population density.

So sad this is happening. The United States is getting this way now too.
With a closed stove that only transmits the heat and has a chimney, like coal stoves, plastics can be kept out of the food if they can not switch to coconut husk burning. To reduce my trash, I shred cardboard and use it in a raised bed to grow flowers. The cleaner cardboard and paper is used in my worm farm. These folks aren't catching rain water and collecting it down into a cystern that would go through the same filtration that the ground water goes through.
I've done this type of cleaning and they're using a very inefficient way of doing it. There's a few smart tools that they could be constructing to rapidly increase the work
imagine eating food made on a fire of burning plastic!! omfg each country needs to be accountable for their own garbage instead of selling it to countries too poor to buy proper fuel. im just astounded.
Thank you very much for exposing the indigenous people who are unseen in common media here because they are only focusing on political drama government and celebrities. as research, indigenous communities indeed protect 80%++ biodiversity. but, they are marginalized.
When the Dutch governed Indonesia long ago, the area around Bali, at least, was clean and well taken care of. It's a shame to see the place goes to shamble.
@@wadi5145 Exactly! I think you missed my point, but nderstandable if you don't know the sketch I mentioned. Google exactly what I wrote, and you'll see for yourself what I mean. Have a nice watch and a good day. :)
Excellent work DW and sad to see what humans can do. One question still remains - aree you intentionally attacking French companies or overall trying to make bad publicity of France [reference: you have recently made some dosumentaries for French companies and also in this documentary, not once many times repeated France. There was one plastic package from Lidl and you did not mention Lidl is a German company ;) , there were other examples and that's how it's not questionable, just wondering if there is any hidden agenda to make France look bad].
I believe if Indonesia can impose a ban on Apple Products. It can impose a heavy fine and take action to safe her golden egg laying goose (international tourism) too.

a propos garbage in paper recycling, in Canada this is mere carelessness that seems near universal. I dont understand : arent children all fastidiously conscientious about any sorting exercise; to children doesnt sorting seem an elemental form of play ? !
This is true probably nearly everywhere. Take a look at my case--my country--the Philippines. My country has such a beauty. But undisciplined people, Filipinos & foreigners in the country, have thrashed it & are continuously thrashing it until the beauty it has is lost.
That guy needs a new line of work, a honest one that doesn't cater to ppl's lawless idolatries and drunken parties that are offensive to God, and should of been abandoned already (1peter4:2-5), seeing the day of the Lord is near.
Sad , people wake up , clean your home up , land , beware of plastic , woman sew bags to shop with example your head wraps that you feel you need a new one to buy recycling them too make bags . 😊
13:58 French HAM packaging in indonesi😂 French and eu . Canada .send them those plastics... Indonesia burns them so maybe they can send them back to europe by air😂😂
Can't this be stopped poor orangutan wheres David Attenborough and the likes they should be shouting this from the roof tops shocking all comes down to greed i guess 😢
Hell exists,and it's on Earth which once,a long time ago,was truly a Paradise...some humans can be a real Virus destroying all life on this Sacred Planet !...
The question is not why rich countries sent out their trash, the question should be that why are poor countries take in those trash. The problem shouldn't be only blamed on rich countries, poor countries are also a problem.
Unfortunately the same problem here in the Philippines plastic everywhere😞

That’s really sad.
Everywhere is in decline & tourism brings with it many negatives.
Watching this broke my heart. 😢 We are constantly destroying our planet. Overpopulation, overconsumption and corporate greed. RIP earth 🌍
Well said!
Ther's always more positive then negative in the world.
You mean RIP HUMANS. Mother Nature will have the last word. Eventually we will die from starvation and/or sterilization from our toxins.
It's so hard to watch this video. It's the same in Vietnam too. People cut down a lot of trees, the trash is all over the place :(
The land will be clean one day
Thankyou to all involved in this documentary ❤💔
It's horrible!!! There' Is 10milions people in Danger!
And no help.

Probably best to stick to the trees. Weather fiddling is too high risk.
All our crazy inventions to control nature are set to fail.

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Thank you DW for doing such good reporting, more people need to hear about this
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
Look where we are heading 😢
Sad to see what we humans are doing to the earth.
Not all humans, politicians and corporates. Most people would do the right thing if they had any say in life.
Globalisation & consumerism plus large scale global corporations are destroying this once beautiful, untouched planet.
All is finite.
This will is an endless exercise in futility. Governments should shut off the major oil companies and the conglomerate multinational companies that produce these plastic packaging.😢
Dw, Do a documentary something about the Galapagos islands, The Enchanted Islands.
That would be great :1

Wish people thinks more concerned about the mother earth amidst of just making profit by a process of environmental friendly ways.
These countries should be held responsible for polluting 😮
Love and support to Indonesia from Mexico 💗🇮🇩🇲🇽💗
This is sad😢 😡
We humans destroy ourselves🤦♂️
MUCH LOVE TO INDONESIA FROM BRAZIL ! 💚💛💚💛💚💛
Appreciate it 😊😊
Brazil is like Indonesia
You are not even Brazil just fake bot from Indonesian
I think Jamaica, Africa and Indonesia are 3 places that need to enforce environmental laws
Nonsense,China is the biggest contender. Lol. How is Jamaica polluting the environment?
You seen india?🥴

tragic and who says colonization is over ... this looks like Extractive Corporate Colonization, and how about trafficking plastic waste overseas
RIP earth? 😢
Rip should be for humanity not earth
Humanity is doomed-DEVOLVING 🤦
Boracay and Manila bay almost became like this. Good thing we had a President Duterte who was the best leader. Both are clean now.
I see a lot of volunteer groups cleaning during the weekends on You Tube ...I think it is the only way. They should wear masks...
I think Filipinos are more concerned protective about environment than indonesian
The gasp I gaspud when they show people using plastic as fuel for tofu factory
This has been true for decades and these tourists coming here should have no opinion on it as they come from a different coulture.
It is not just plastic from all over the world, the supermarkets there also sell these products... Carrefour sells from all over the world!
