In the Bali-held 'One Island One Voice' in its 7th year, Hotel Nikko Bali Benoa Beach resort once again joined Bali’s biggest clean-up. The resort managed to collect 61 kg of waste that consisted of plastic bags, straws, plastic bottles, styrofoam, glass bottle, plastic meal boxes, cigarette butts, and many more plus 6 kg of hazardous waste. About 20 hotel employees participated in the event, and the collection of waste was carried out on the Benoa Beach line.
Takashi Hoshino, General Manager of Hotel Nikko Bali Benoa Beach said: “Like last year, we report the waste that we collected to the event organizer, namely One Island One Voice, through a survey sheet that can be filled out online. The major wastes we collected were plastic bags and plastic packaging. These materials do not exist in nature, therefore, there is no naturally occurring organism that can break them down effectively. For this reason, the steps we are taking are to reduce the use of single-use plastic at our resort by using straws made from paper, no longer providing plastic cutleries for take-out food, and no longer providing plastic bottled water in the guest rooms.”
“This is a small action that becomes a big one because it is done annually and simultaneously by tourism actors and environmentalists who care about the environment in Bali. Hope is being able to see that there is a light for better changes,” he added.
