In IIndonesia the season of 'Musim Sampar' is approaching,
which translates as 'the rubbish season', when the monsoon rains
flush the plastic waste off the land, into the inland rivers and streams
where further water pressure pushes the waste towards the beaches
and into the seas.There the rubbish diisrupts the tourist experience
of clean beaches sparkling waterfalls and seas where what is meant
to move most are the multi coloured fish, when you can see them
through tides of plastic rubbish being taken further out to the sea.
There was a time when Indonesians lived less by convenience values,
and produced less waste which was more biodegradable. But the plastics
manufacturers have taken to making purchaces more convenient for the tourist
which spoils their journeys the tourists take. Manufacturers have no interest
in an economy of recycled waste, where for a little less luxury tourists
amd manufacturers coiuld do a lot more to defend the non-human diversity.
