I am apart of the Gili Eco Trust, which is a GC that I can join in High School. I was with this GC last year and below is their logo:
I really like this GC because I always want to work with a group that deals with the environment such as Gili Eco Trust. They work, obviously, in the Gili Islands where they mostly create something called a Biorock which uses electricity to create coral reefs. In addition to that, we have joined with Bali Sharks as well. Below is an image of the Biorock technology:
I am the Middle School Liason along with my classmate, Arjun because it makes sense for us to contribute to this role as we both were in the Middle School GC. It has been really great being apart of this Global Concern but one of my aspires and goals is to contribute more and work more on reducing plastic waste.
Although we will not attend the Holiday Fair, we will be joining Surf Aid and along with the Island Foundation and Bali Sharks (which we have combined into Gili Eco Trust) on December 14th where we well set up for Indonesia/ Swim 4 Life and it is the 12th anniversary. I will be there to help on our activity which we will provide which is basically a Treasure Hunt Quiz. We have planned a lot and it has been really fun joining this Global Concern for approximately 3 months.
Bali Sharks is an NGO is based in Serangan, southern Bali who are dedicated to fighting for shark populations currently being decimated in Indonesia. The Island Foundation is a charity organisation based in Singapore where they strive to “improve the lives, marine environment and biodiversity of the island communities in the Riau Archipelago with the primary goal to erase poverty in East Bintan, to build an empowered and revitalised community, equipped with better education opportunities, improved healthcare, enhancement of the local environment and a better quality of life,” as according to Give.Asia. Surf Aid, on the other hand, is an international charitable organization that is based in the Mentawai Islands of Indonesia.
Update: 15th March
We have done some market research and we have two new products, however, we will discontinue the bamboo straws which will be now taken over my Green Umbrella who are also selling metal straws which I have at home. These two new products are called Surf mud (which is sunscreen that is eco-friendly) and glitter that is eco-friendly.
