We Collected 300,000 Pounds of Plastic in 8 months! 

Teaching people to dispose of their garbage properly would save you a lot of work.

These are the people that deserve more media attention! Your are real heroes for cleaning up polluted rivers, thank you for what you do.

I LOVE these people!!! When I saw the person sorting different color bottle caps my jaw dropped. That level of work and detail that goes into it. Not just throwing the trash in a landfill but working very hard to understand the origins and bring responsibility back to the corporations responsible for creating the trash to begin with through gathering data. Also providing jobs to the local people give them income and creates a community of people that are more likely to care. Every video I watch tells me to like and subscribe and I rarely do. He never said to like and subscribe but I immediately did!! I am a trash picker where I live. I love people who are working to leave the world better than they found it but this is next level. Thank you so much for your work! Godspeed and many blessings to you!! ❤

The key is education and understanding by the local population. Local governments should provide proper waste management and offer employment in this industry.

This is fantastically jarring!!! Everyone needs to see this.

The scanning plastic packaging to see the manufacturers that are contributing to the problem is a great idea because there is a need for packaging to be changed to compostable materials. Even if a consumer disgards waste responsibility there is way too much plastic garbage. At least you have the data to present to show the amount of their product' packaging is ending up in the waste stream. Metrics are so important.

THIS is what every country should be doing. BRAVO to these fine, dedicated people!!!

I was a part of a waterway cleanup here in Inda a few years ago. We just used the age old method of trapping different size debris using just fishing nets. Fishing nets are super strong the larger fish they have to catch. So we set up 4 points of cleanup. Large nets, Medium-large hole nets, medium nets, small to medium hole nets and small hole nets to catch all kinds sizes of debris at 500-750 meters on the river. Ofcourse, it was not a big cleanup, but we removed approximately 7-8 tonnes of waste and debris from the river. 2 ends of the net were sunk using stones and the other ends above the water were tied to trees or the truck that was to carry the debris. This only for the bigger nets since they get very heavy with all the trapped stuff.

Thank You to all the people who are helping to cleaning the rivers hopefully this can happen all over the world well done everyone.

We need to make this channel get some traction so more people can be environmentally friendly

A big THANK YOU to all of you from The Netherlands 🇳🇱 ❤🌷🌷🌷

I'm glad that this is happening. The tourist trade has spoilt so much of Bali. Even 30years ago, my first visit, the change was visible. Glad to see that organic material was being left in the river, feeding the natural cycles.

I'm glad there is people like you in the world.

A Brilliant thought, finding the manufacturer and holding them accountable as well for the pollution they generate. They have to be held responsible too.

Phenomenal work. Manufacturers AND consumers. People pollute. In Bali that would be residents AND tourists. Locals must be involved.

REALLY I LOVE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR MORE CLEANING ON THIS WORLD

This should be shown on national TV in England What great work your doing thank you 😘

thank you so much for what you are doing

I would give you million likes if I could. Your enthusiasm is priceless! Thank you for doing this enormous job! Hopefully, the awareness amongst local people will be greater too and all that plastic and other rubbish will not go into rivers.

Wonderful when i was in bali i was really sad to see so much plastic everywhere in such a beautiful place love from australia

It's super impressive how quickly this project is growing! Congrats and thank you for all the work that you do! 👏🌊 I'd be very interested to learn more about your data analysis - is there a report you publish?

Remarkable. True testament that one person CAN make a difference and bring great change 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

This makes me so happy! I wish every community had a cleanup day every week

Something that we had back in the day here in the states was if you gathered glass bottles and tin cans, you could take them to specific stores or facilities and get paid per pound. If either the big businesses of each product found or the government implemented such a program, more and more citizens would get involved and it would also help with increasing incomes which would help the economy. Keep up the fantastic work!

YOU GUYS ARE ALL HEROS 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Congratulations. This is the first group I have seen focusing on the river where the overwhelming majority of ocean pollution comes from. Well done Although focusing on the manufacturers is skipping over the people more directly responsible for where it ends up. Chances are the towns along the rivers don’t have adequate trash collection, or people are directly tossing their trash into the environment or both. That’s the target.

It so great to see you and others helping to fix these huge societal problems. Very inspiring

Very inspiring! Thank you everyone involved for your hard work and caring.

This is amazing. Great to see people doing the hard work we need to do to save our environment. You are all incredible. Keep up the good work!

Incredible work! I love how you’re getting the community involved especially by giving them employment during the pandemic. I’d love to know where some of the trash goes after

Thank you for your hard work ! Wish you good luck 👍🏻🍀

Great work all! Lots of thanks to you!

Amazing work! You and all the volunteers in Bali ROCK!!! I can't believe how bad it has gotten..I was there in the mid 1980's and noticed the alarming trend of mini blue clorox bottles (and of course, the chlorine) in the river from laundry but never imagined it would get this bad. I remember at the time feeling that a lot of the problem was that not too too long ago, everything that people used in Bali came from nature and was therefore bio-degradable. It takes a change in thinking to understand why we need to do things differently. Where I currently live in the USA, it's total devolution...it seemed like people were starting to "get" the litter problem way back in the 70's but instead of eradicating that behavior and demanding that packaging and our consumption patterns change, things have just gotten much worse. The city I live in is drowning in trash and nobody seems to care.

This is so amazing! We need that around the world!

We are all responsible for this mess and we all need to do more to clean up as these wonderful people have!

These people are true role models!

Gary is crushing it !!

Brilliant work guys! Amazing to see the huge tangible impact you're having on your home and community.

WHAT an amazing job. Applauses. 👏👏👏

من العراق 🇮🇶 هؤلاء هم الأبطال الحقيقين احسنتم بارك الله فيكم ❤

I love the work you do and always support the cleanup projects around the world, yours is on a bigger scale than others I've seen and I wonder where your funding comes from to employ 250 people and excavators for a long period of time. I want to learn so I can help others.

Great job!! Lots of respect from another brother

This is unbelievable👍👍, the amount of efforts that your entire team puts in everyday is amazing. Great job guys..... Keep doing it

I know I’m super late to this, but I just found this video. I work in marketing for a pizza company in the US and setting up school fundraisers is honestly a great idea. I regularly set up dine-to-donates to help schools, PTOs, and non-profit organizations raise money and even if the initial impact is small, through continued fundraisers and marketing it can make a real difference. Marketing can be as small as reaching out through email personally. If the local schools can’t facilitate raising money for an outside company, I’d even look into tourism boards or tour guide companies. Capitalizing on the large tourist population could help you raise a decent amount to continue cleaning Bali’s waters. Tourists will definitely appreciate clean beaches, oceans, and rivers and may be willing to chip in to help! Keep up the amazing work!

Fantastic work, thankyou for helping the environment. 🤗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

This is brilliant. Keep up the good work troops 👍🍀

Community efforts worth supporting. Thank you for helping protect animals and the environment.

outstanding work done by all these wonderful people. People around all these areas should see what you guys are doing and learn not dump garbage everywhere.We all responsible for keeping this Planet Clean for the next Generations. Thanks.

તમે ખુબ જ સરસ કામ કરી રહ્યા છો....... ભગવાન તમને શક્તિ આપે......

This is a shocking wake-up call to the whole world! It should also be a wake-up call to governments and industry! We must change the way we live, and the products that we make and use! These people are doing something fantastic in cleaning the rivers, but it's sad that they have to!

Awesome! Thank you all and everyone for collecting trash! Where ever you are! ❤

Thank you for caring for your world 🙏🏽

You inspire people tone better thank you

Inspiring ❤️ I pick up thrash from my local river when canoeing. Nowhere near as much as you but now I feel motivated to get out even more

Thank you and your teammates for cleaning up all the plastic pieces and the wood from the waterways. It looks soo good when your done! Keep up the good work!

Wonderful group of people! You are making such a difference. The rest of the world needs to follow your example!

Thanks a lot for this!

Great work. So smart to make the company's held accountable as well as getting the locals involved to help clean up their local waters. Keep up the great research and hard work.👏 It is amazing to see the before and after results of your hard work.

Respect and great thanks to you all, guys!!!!

Lots of love and respect for your phenomenal effort. And thank you to you all. Greetings from Greenland.😊❤

Thank you for doing this. You made great effort by cleaning these canals. keep doing the good job.

Thank you for being an example for others and for protecting our beautiful planet 👍 👌 ❤️ 🌍

250 for a whole year of protection that’s so amazing and a beautiful deal!

Thank you. Hard work and not taking the piss. Realistic honest not asking for much and getting things done! If you have a company or can afford then please help.

Well done guys 👏 This is truly outstanding

Wow. Well done. I collect tiny amount of litter through litterati. But you are on another scale. Well done.

Awesome job , finally people that care and are doing something about it, the earth is in Gratitude

It's unbelievable what you're doing there! Can't understand that we humans do this to nature and deal with garbage so carelessly. I hope that there will be a solution as soon as possible to end this littering. A big thank you to you helpers and a lot of strength to get through this!!! Highest Respect!!!

What a fantastic effort and commitment. I think a part of the problem is that marginal income households have to pay for rubbish collection and disposal. A sponsored free collection service would be a huge investment in Bali's future. Take care Steve.

Thank you so very much for doing this!!

I live in Caldas Novas, Goiás, Brazil. As I teach English to some wonderful people, this video (and similar ones) came to provide content for perfect conversations. You are a gift!

Thank you so much guys for helping us to clean up the the river... look forward to seeing you in Jakarta

I love this and .. Where can I donate some funds that will allow you to purchase wetsuits and protective gears for the workers? Coz they are exposed to some scary looking waters .. and I just want to help anyway I can. Thank you to anyone who involve in helping clean the planet.

Good job 🐇 You are influencing the world positively 🦃

Amazing! Keep up the hard work. Happy to have gotten a change to learn about Sungai Watch through United By Blue. You are both forces of good. Truly a model for others!

Felicidades, me parece muy interesante que codifique la basura con el lector de código de barras, Porque no se trata solo de recolectar basura. Se trata de hacer responsables a las grandes empresas que aún continúan mirando hacia otro lado. Felicidades! Saludos desde España, son ustedes un gran ejemplo.

This is amazing! thank you for all the wonderful work you're doing, both physical and sharing the possibility of community organizing :D

Well done, you all. ❤ You're saving the world.

Thank you so much. Im a world away from Bali, but clean up rubbish in my local neighbourhood and Im so happy to see you preventing plastic from going intpo the seas. Do you have any success putting pressure on big companies to change their packaging? What do you do with the rubbish after its sorted? This idea needs to go world wide

Amazing good work! You guys are incredible, we need more people like you!
