there are material bags for sale every where.
I also take some and leave them there, hoping to encourage our local friends to reuse them many times.
What is sad is we gave them plastic ideas, but didn't educate on how to dispose of them correctly.
They have a campain going on for the past 4 -5 yrs. Called "Keep Kuta Clean"
The kids get taught all this in school.
A lot of it is washed from rivers into the ocean, other bits have drifted from nearby Java and onto beaches.
All the beach sellers try to clean the plastic up as best they can.
EDUCATION is the only answer here. Start with the kids :))
Don't burn the plastic.
