One of the most polluted beaches we’ve ever seen 😱 We found animals eating plastic, locals burning trash, and a beach that’s been completely buried in waste. This is happening right now on the shores of Muncar Beach, Indonesian and the world is barely paying attention. This is more than a cleanup, it’s a wake-up call. Go watch the full video on YouTube to see what we witnessed and why this matters to all of us. #plasticpollution #pollution #cleanocean #oceanlove #savetheplanet | 4ocean
