@byebyeplasticbags is a global youth-powered movement to say no to plastic bags.
Melati and Isabel Wijsen were just 12 and 10 when a lesson at school about leaders like Nelson Mandela, Lady Diana, and Mahatma Gandhi inspired them to think about what they could do right now, as children living in Bali, to make a difference in the world. Having experienced the ocean plastic crisis firsthand on their home island of Bali, the sisters founded Bye Bye Plastic Bags as a nonprofit organization with the goal of achieving an island-wide ban on single-use plastic bags.
