To mark World Recycling Day, we’re taking a closer look at plastic pollution!

Every minute, the equivalent of a garbage truck full of plastic waste is dumped into the oceans. And at the current rate of production, there will soon be more microplastics than fish in our seas. It’s a ticking time bomb that threatens the environment, human health, and the climate. After years of indecision, the international community has set a goal of reaching a global treaty to put an end to this multifaceted pollution.

In Bali, the “river warriors” of the Sungai Watch association are installing filter barriers in waterways to prevent waste from polluting beaches and mangroves. Can we win the war against plastic pollution? Kelly Bencheghib and Gary Bencheghib, from the NGO Sungai Watch, will share their experience with Stéphane Mandard, a journalist at Le Monde Planète, and all festival attendees.
