Earth Day, the environmental equivalent of Martin Luther King’s birthday, is a day when its okay to act like, what Dick Cheney would call a ‘dangerous environmentalist’. Here in Bali, precious few people give a hoot about the environment and the island is paying the price. As a Jakarta Post article mentions, many factors including human development and cyclone, have caused the coastline to deteriorate.
Earth Day 2006, will be a day when people in Sanur get together and take part in fun and educational activities on the beach. The Sanur Development Foundation is organizing the event which is entitled, ‘Beaches, Oceans, the Sources of Our Lives’. Sanur beach still looks okay and for families with young kids, its safer to swim on than Kuta Beach. If you are in Bali, hop on down to Sanur on Saturday, there are beachside warungs and it could be a good time.
