Description
Indonesia is the second biggest polluter in the world, it produces 130,000 tons of solid and liquid waste, approximately 50% of this reaches the landfill, the rest is either burned or illegally dumped and bleeds into the ocean. This volume of waste entering the oceans and skies threatens any chance of a sustainable future.
