Sincerely, Hueman: Stories of Kindness and Doing Good
Society & Culture
Single-use plastics are one of the major pollutants of our time. Growing up in Bali, Melati and Isabel Wijsen noticed that their environment was becoming increasingly saturated with plastic bags. At 12 and 10 years of age, they founded Bye Bye Plastic Bags, with a vision of ridding the world of plastic bags. In 2019, after six years of advocacy, they were able to reach their goal in Bali.
Now 21 years old, Melati shares lessons she learned in her decade-long journey as a climate activist. She also tells us how campaigning with Bye Bye Plastic Bags led her to launch Youthtopia, a platform for young changemakers. In the episode, she also speaks of the critical role the youth play in creating a better future.
