Make History!
Help Bakas Village implement Bali Governor’s vision to eliminate plastic, and for Bakas Village to lead the way to a plastic-free future for the planet.
Bakas Bersih (Clean Bakas), our project to work with Bakas Village community members to eliminate plastic, supports Bali’s Governor I Wayan Koster’s mission for Bali to clean up Bali and eliminate plastic. Bakas Village becoming plastic-free will set an example for the rest of Bali, Indonesia and the world, and outline a set of procedures for other villages to eliminate waste.
Participants can apply for 1 semester or multiple semesters (each semester is 12 weeks). Participants who successfully complete 3 semesters will receive a Professional Certificate in Applied Sustainability, and those successfully completing 6 semesters will receive an Advanced Professional Certificate in Applied Sustainability, issued by Bakas Village.
