Waste |
 |
|
As with many places, waste is a constant issue for the Gilis. Please help to set a good example by disposing of your rubbish responsibly. Take your rubbish with you from the beaches, the sea is not a waste bin or an ashtray. If there are no bins available please take your waste with you until you find one!
Clean Up Day on every first friday of the month: be ready to register at any of the diveshops and clean the island with the local kids from the school as well as with the support of SATGAS, Janur Indah, FMPL and many more residents and businesses who care!
Please do not take a plastic bag when you are shopping on Gili Trawangan. Use your own bag or pocket. get a re-usable bag and encourage the local people not to offer or use plastic bags.
we want to BAN THE PLASTIC BAGS
no dogs, no motorbike, no cars on Gili Trawangan. Help us to achieve NoPlastic Bag!
the Gili Eco Trust is spending a lot of money and energy to sort the rubbish issue out. this is our priority for 2010.
Help us to educate people as they don't know where plastic is from and why is it so bad?
plastic is made from oil, and it will take about 400 years of degradation on land.... |

Thanks to the hotels, restaurants and resorts who have now agreed to charge their guests an Eco-tax of 50,000IDR charged by the Dive Shops in the Gilis, to help funding our eco-projects such as rubbish recycling treatment, education, free clinic for the horses, Vetiver grass project, and also our usual project as the Biorock, moorings and patrolling of the fishing zones.
thank you for all your donations |

Anchoring |
|
|
All of the Islands have harbour areas with dedicated anchoring areas, if you have a boat or are visiting on a live aboard, please ensure that the boats are responsibly moored. Anchors are one of the largest reasons for coral destruction in the 3 Islands. |

Please take responsibility |
