TED: Our campaign to ban plastic bags in Bali | Melati and Isabel Wijsen

Isabel and Melati Wijsen, sisters from Bali, address the island's plastic waste problem by founding the 'Bye Bye Plastic Bags' campaign. Inspired by global efforts and their education at Green School, they mobilize a team to raise awareness and push for change. Despite challenges, including government resistance, they persist, using strategies like petitions and a hunger strike to engage officials. Their efforts lead to commitments for a plastic bag-free Bali, demonstrating the power of youth activism.
