‘I think the great challenge is to remove judgment from the equation when we have conversations around plastic pollution with local Balinese, so that we empower through education instead of judgment. All companies that are producing this (plastic) waste are going to have to start to take responsibility about the pollution at scale’ – Tim Fijal
