Beach Of Bali is need help…

I was walking with my friend this morning from Saba beach to Masceti beach in Gianyar. And I found out that the amount of rubbish from the big rain last night are really end well in the beach. I think it is way more than it used to be a few months ago.

By identifying the kind of rubbish that spread over the beautiful black sand I saw, I also can make a conclusion that Balinese or at least the peoples that living near the river and sewer area are throwing about anything to the water. It is mean that they don’t really care about the environment.

I can mentioned it here it is starting from bathroom stuff, kitchen stuff, until unused spring bed. From car parts until medicine empty bottles. From plastic materials until dangerous nail that still attached to the wood and waiting for somebody stepping on it.

Oh my god. This is the only word I can say. Government, please make the regulation that you plan before so this is not getting worse. Peoples, please don’t litter outside your garbage basket. And please pay some attention on what you throw on the water. So this is our homework.

All the ceremony things we do everyday will be useless if we still have a****l behavior like this. Our beach is already getting worse and if it is damaged any further than it is more difficult for us to fix it back.

Bali From The Sky

Look green enough, right?

Bali Need More Forest Area

DENPASAR – Bali definitely need more Forest Area. Bali governor, I Made Mangku Pastika, said that ideally forest area for Bali is should be 30% from the total area of Bali which is about 560 thousand hectares.
"Currently there is only 22 percent forest area and it is also not all are purely forest”  he said after "Deklarasi Kesatuan Pengelolaan Hutan" (KPH) or Declaration  for Forest Management Union.
Bali has 133,636 hectares of forest. 3,000 of them are sea forest. The rest is land forest and 96% of them are in sub area of regencies and cities. He also explain that the problem to increase the forest area is from land status. “We want to do reforestation to some bald and landslide prone area but we have problem with land ownership” he complain. And some time there is permit issue to do reforestation as well, because it must be apply to Jakarta and it is not that easy as well.
Governor also say that Bali government at some point have been thinking about buy the land and do reforestation without those complication above. But again there are some budget problem and also social effect that could be happen by doing that problem.
So now what should Balinese do about this? I think we should start grow some tree in front of our house. Not just a big concrete and other fancy decoration. One tree every 5 years I think should be a good start.
