Many thousands of cubic metres of waste are dumped everyday in Bali. A new local site not to be found on the tourist trail is Mount Rubbish. Worse still, the toxic run-off from this mountain of waste filters into Bali's source of drinking water. "We are being poisoned by this pile of rubbish", says environmental activist Moko. But garbage is not the only problem; Bali's development is based on foreign exploitation, which has made locals feel that their very way of life is under threat. Many Balinese now believe that keeping culture and traditions strong could be their last defence. "We Balinese should take the move to save Bali, before it's too late", a local campaigner explains.

nice documentary
In 1982 there was no plastic. It was glass wood and other organic plant matter. Ignorance greed and egomania, you win we lose, us and them.
No, we all lose because eventually the beaches and land are polluted and eventually people won't visit.
The word "develop" in a this sense means to pollute the environment and chop up the land.
this is very interesting project -- chapeau -- conragtulation
It doesn't because the tourist, but bad rubbish management and locals love littering does.
You cannot square adding hotels and villas, etc. with not "damaging" the environment. The 2 cannot coexist. Perhaps they can build them on top of the mounting mounds of waste so they can look down on all the "lowly native peoples". It's turning into a sad, sad sack there at a blistering pace. All of the indigenous rice farmers will be effectively forced to sell their ancestral land because there will be NO water for their crop...and the developers KNOW THIS and will most assuredly race to expedite this process.
There are more hotels and restaurants than dogshit on the street in Bali. OMG. For that island that small, the amount of hotels, restaurants and shops that are already there and being built are out of control. Enough already.
@i. rob What a mess.
Sadly can only get Worse.
save bali
whats the update on this please?
I drove by the mountain of trash and it's still there.
Poor people
It isn't that simple. And I used to live there. Both the locals and those from Java and other islands flock to Bali as there is work in the tourist trade. When the Bali bombings happened, the tourist trade was decimated and many hotels and shops were shut, losing hundreds of thousands of jobs. Many returned to java, Sulawesi, Flores et al, and when the market picked up, they returned. The tourist workers (most of the economy) get paid a lot more and have better working conditions than those in western or northern Bali planting rice or vegetables. Agriculture in Bali is back breaking and dangerous, at least in a hotel or shop it is relatively safe and pays a lot more than rice planting.
Yeah great then the mountian of rubbish can become an island and the next tourist trap is tours of people who make houses from trash! Cars from trash! Clothing from trash! Trash = Life!
Rich Poop As a Balinese (Half Canadian and half Balinese) Tourists keeps making things untidy and when I see things so nice such as Ngelawang and baring walking the tourists would just go out and start taking videos when there’s traffic and that’s what makes the traffic even more worse and sometimes they don’t even listen to the securities that patrols the street they just hear them then not do anything after that.
Very partial data talked by Bali governance. I mean what is the percentage of hotel occupation? That is one tool to measure for future development of hotels and vila. Don't be greedy on projects.
I am against benoa bay hôtels 💀
I am watching it in 2019 I believe the problem has gotten worse
It's a very one sided story
The trick is...... just don't go there!
They destroy land in AUSTRALIA so why not destroy land in Indonesia?
Thats your argument.
Greedy and stupid is always a bad combination.
NO NO MORE HÔTELS THAT'S ENOUGH !!!!!! TAKE CARE OF THE POLLUTION AND I MIGHT CÔME BACK . STOP BUILDING !!!!! LONG LIVE BALI WHEN THERE'S NO MORE ROOMS AND IT'S ALL BOOKED IT'S BOOKED THAT'S IT !! BALI IS A SMALL ISLAND AND CORRUPTION FLOWS !!! ENOUGH POLLUTION . IT'S DISGUSTING !!! YES SAVE BALI BY BUILDING A RECYCLÉ FACTORY !!!
Yuck
