Report from Ocean Conservacy.org, an astounding 648,015 volunteer volunteers in 92 countries picked up more than 12.3 million pounds of trash in the 2013 International Coastal Clean up act. Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup has developed since 1986to become the world’s largest volunteer effort for ocean health. Each year millions of eco-friendly warriors from all over the world help to clear trash from the shores of lakes, streams,
rivers and oceans. Thanks to these volunteers recording every article collected, Ocean
Conservancy gains accurate insight into the manufactured items which are impacting our

planet's health 

Last year with the similar program that BHA held, plastic bags, containers, cutlery, cans, cigarettes and household waste as well as abandoned shoes and fishing debris were just some of the 7,565 items collected. The total trash haul ended up weighing in at over 142,6 kilograms. "Bali Hotel Associations is extremely proud to be able to continue this eco-friendly initiative. To see the growth of members that took part this year is truly remarkable. This initiative is directly inline with our objective, which is to continuously strive to find ways
to support programs that protect the environment," commented Jean-Charles Le Coz, Vice Chairman of the Bali Hotels Association.

“It’s an absolute thrill to participate in the Bali Hotel Association’s largest ever effort to clean up the coast and waterways on Saturday the 20th September. More than 72 hotels, tourism businesses and associations are offering thousands of staff, students and friends to join the international coastal clean-up initiative across eight different coastal and river way zones of Bali to collectively do our part to turn the tide on trash. I’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone involved and encourage everyone and every business to please continue to actively participate and support the many other various Bali Hotel Association lead green initiatives also such as improved recycling

reforestation, and the improved waste management suggestions to help keep Bali beautiful. Together we can achieve so much more!” – Clinton Lovell, Director in charge of Environment for BHA
