We’re cleaning up Indonesia’s rivers, one river at a time. The constant pileup of trash in these rivers heavily impacts nearby farmland, the ocean, and local well water systems. We are committed to cleaning as many rivers as we can by removing the waste that’s there and installing our trash barriers to provide long term solutions. Once our barriers are installer, we clean them daily and bring the trash to our facilities to sort and process the trash for recycling. Let’s put an end to the plastic battle

Here are some of the videos that you all have created for the reflective video journal. I do hope that all of you have changed the unsustainable habit to become better versions of beings. I love all of the videos.
The recording of Akmal's daily reflection for the video is very enlightening and I believe it is a humbling experience for him.
Almost all of us have problem like Balqis. I hope we learned some tips and sustain that new habit for a more sustainable self.
Walking can really be good for our mind and body. The quailty of the video is awesome!1
