Bye Bye Plastic Bags

Plastic pollution is a major issue that has serious effects on land and at sea. Ecosystems and wildlife
suffer because of it. Nowadays, more and more people are trying to reduce the amount of plastic they
use, especially plastic bags which cause a lot of problems for marine animals. For example, turtles often
eat plastic bags because they look like jellyfish, which are their usual food. More than a hundred nations
have banned plastic bags, but some countries are slower than others in making changes like this.

Bali has made the change thanks to two amazing teenage sisters called Melati and Isabel Wijsen. With
the help of their friends, they started a campaign called Bye Bye Plastic Bags in 2013 at the ages of 10
and 12. They had a mission to fight the plastic pollution problem in Bali. The girls started collecting
signatures and soon they had over 100,000. After a year and a half, they finally got to talk to the
government which promised to help the people of Bali say no to plastic bags. In 2018, Bali completely
banned plastic bags.

Today, the girls have gone on to inspire other people around the world. They travel and talk on stage in
many countries and Bye Bye Plastic Bags has become a global movement that educates schoolchildren
about the problems of plastic waste.

With a good idea and hard work, we can all help Planet Earth!

1 Marine wildlife is endangered because of plastic pollution.

2 People cannot use plastic bags in some countries.
3 The Wijsen sisters started collecting plastic bags.
4 It took the Wijsen sisters over a decade to achieve their goal.
5 More countries have banned plastic bags thanks to the girls’ campaign.
