b. Read a story of two teenagers who fought to clean up Bali from plastic trash. See the Word Box .

Melati and Isabel Wijsen live in Bali. They spent their teenage years cleaning up the island from plastic.

Melati and Isabel were only 12 and 10 years old when they decided to tackle plastic pollution. They found plastic everywhere in their everyday lives. They saw it when they walked to the rice ields or when they went to the beaches.

They were aware of this growing problem with plastic in places it should not be. They felt the urgency to protect the environment and the natural world.

The sisters began a movement, ‘an annual island clean up’. The movement was for everyone in Bali. Early on a Sunday morning they carried megaphones and stood on the back of a latbed truck. Thousands of children and teenagers with their parents came out to help. Volunteers from local restaurants and hotels also showed up. They collected trash at 115 places around the island. They picked up plastic trash on the beaches, the rivers and the streets.

The two sisters became local heroes, and they won international acclaim for their awareness campaign.
