I came up with the best thing on my trip in April. (Not hugely environmentally friendly but...) I had packaged a lot of gifts for the Birthing Centre in Zip Lock bags -thinking the ladies would find other uses for them once opened - but had heaps left over.
I put my daily outfits (skirt and top that matched etc) in each bag. They don't crush like they would if they were just free in the case - and I just picked a bag each day according to my needs. Also made me think about what went with what and I didn't have surplus items that I couldn't use. I took about 10 bags - you will sweat so need at least 2 changes a day I think. But also keep in mind - a trip to the laundry is very cheap and you get back beautifully smelling fresh pressed/folded clothes - a treat in itself.
I did of course bring the bags home to be reused rather than leaving them to further contaminate the Bali countryside.
