Plastic and Prevention: Q3 2025 Highlights from Cemare and Bali

---

This quarter, Indonesia shared two powerful stories about how we manage waste; one rooted in prevention, the other in consequence. In Dusun Cemare, a World Cleanup Day initiative led by our partner Indonesian Biru Foundation (IBF)has grown into a year-round effort that empowers residents and protects mangroves. Meanwhile, in Bali, the island’s worst floods in years revealed how unmanaged plastic and rapid development can turn heavy rain into crisis. Together, these moments remind us that prevention isn’t just environmental but it’s essential for resilience.
