As I visited Bali in December 2022, I noted that despite it being such a major hub for tourism, it is not being regulated efficiently. There was heaps of waste found on Bali beaches that spoiled the natural beauty that people were there to spectate. It is our responsibility as global citizens to preserve such planet Earth and such beautiful locations. The government too should take strict action to prevent people from exploiting regions of such rich cultural heritage. Because of massive use of transportation too, the air purity levels in Bali have been impacted and global warming is leading to changes in monsoons in Bali. If all this persists, we will soon see Bali sinking in our own sins of negligence.
