00:00Bali is known for its idyllic beaches, but annual monsoon rains and winds sweep
00:05mountains of plastic waste from Indonesia's cities into the ocean.
00:09It can drift hundreds of kilometres before washing up on Bali's shores.
00:14Around 600 volunteers, including local residents, hospitality workers and tourists,
00:20have gathered to carry out a monumental clean-up operation.
00:24From a visual perspective, I think we saw that this is definitely the worst it's ever been.
00:29You know, we've never seen plastics a metre thick within the sand.
00:34In just six days of clean-up, we collected our first 25 tons, which is a record-breaking for us.
