00:00From a visual perspective I think we saw that this is definitely the worst it's ever been.
00:29You know, we've never seen plastics a meter thick within the sand.
00:35In just six days of cleanup we collected our first 25 tons, which is a record breaking for us.
00:41My hope for the situation is to showcase the reality of Bali, like this is what we have here, this is the reality of the beaches here.
01:07And I guess with that is to also educate people and show like, hey, this is happening now and it's not just all white beaches and blue water, this is what's happening.
