Bali must keep its beauty

I was attracted to Bali's fame, hoping also to enjoy a new experience in my travels.

I went to nearly every part of Bali and, sometimes, staying overnight. I regret that, in some places, I found people did not care for nature well. Most of them still put garbage wherever they wanted. At Amed, people just left the garbage right in front of the beautiful beach. Even in Denpasar, you can find the same thing. Also a beautiful river if full of garbage. People throw their garbage into the river every morning.

I would like to remind people that now is the beginning of the dry season in Bali. As usual, more tourists schedule their trip to this international destination. So, the bad things like improper rubbish disposal must be stopped and a more appropriate way of garbage collection should be introduced in order to maintain Bali's fame.
