Full-time eco-activist cleans 2 tons plastic waste daily!

﻿
﻿
Gary is a young Frenchman on a mission to eradicate marine plastic pollution in Bali, Indonesia one river at a time!  🍃
Gary and his siblings founded Sungai Watch in 2020. To date, Sungai Watch has set up 150 trash barriers in Bali and twenty trash barriers in Java and has collected over a million kilograms of organic and non-organic waste. 
He is a filmmaker by profession. It all started with a film about the Citarum River in West Java, showing the state of "the world’s most polluted river". The film received a great feedback from the masses and triggered a response from President Joko Widodo. The transformation from publicity to implementation inspired Gary and he became the change he wanted to see.  💚
There is no stopping this young on a big mission. 🙌
P.S. He uploads videos from his cleaning journeys on Instagram and other social media channels.  It'd be nice if you showed support.
