Building barriers to clean rivers and prevent plastic from reaching the ocean

In this episode, we chat with Sam Bencheghib, co-founder of Make A Change World and Sungai Watch, and an impact partner of Only One who is helping to combat plastic waste in Indonesia.

Sam discusses how he ran across the United States to build awareness about the issue, the challenge with plastic waste in Bali, the innovative use of river barriers to stop plastics before they enter the ocean, how Sungai Watch is using data to track polluters, and how the team is engaging local communities in the effort.

You can find Sam on Instagram, and you can learn more about Sungai Watch on their website, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
