Please refuse plastik bags as much as you possibly can while on holidays. there are a number of Non Government Organisations that are trying to educate the locals on enviromental issues. If you want to know the NOG's pls write to me direct and I will give them to you.
I took a green supermarket bag with me and used it to shop with. Alternatively you could use a back pack or if you really must, get a plastik bag off the first shop owner that you purchase from and then keep putting your items in this first plastik bag until it is full.
One day I purchased something from a store that had paper bags and I tried to put so much in it the cord handle came out. the next shop owner I came in contact with helped me repair it so I didn't have to have a plastic bag. Support shop keepers that support the enviroment and talk to the locals and tell them "Tidak Plastik"
20yrs ago Bali had dirt road etc but it wasn't dirty from rubbish, we tourist have added to the problem, we need to help fix it before we loose our beautiful holiday paradise.
