Ocean Mimic

🏄‍♀️ Equal by Nature 🏄‍♂️
It's that time of year again when the World Surf League (WSL) comes to Bali and as of this year equal prize money will be awarded to men and women 🏆👏
This has us smiling and clapping but also a twinge of ... about time! 🙄 What are your thoughts?
... The WSL is the first American-based sports league to offer gender pay equality. Surfing has become the first US-based sport to achieve gender pay equality.
Here's to hoping the world follows suit! Just 10 years ago women won 10% of their male counterpart’s prize money. Crazy! 🤯
There is a clean up happening at the WSL in Keramas, Bali on May 14th that we would love for you to join us for! 👇

WORLD SURF LEAGUE
Please join us for a special clean up and day trip to Keramas for the world surf league! The clean up is organised by Parley and Corona and we were kindly invited to join.
Everyone is welcome. We meet at pantai selukat. All you need to bring is yourself - bags and gloves will be provided.
... Why are clean ups so important?
See the devastation for yourself. As a community we can feel empowered to take the worlds destiny into our own hands. 50% of Indonesias's trash doesn't get to landfill - it is burned or ends up in the oceans. You can make a difference! Be the change you wish to see in the world.

SCHOOL CLEAN UP
We need your help!
... We are cleaning the beach with over 600 children from St Thomas Aquino Elementary School over the course of three days!
On the 27th, 28th and 29th we will have 200+ children each morning doing a beach clean up and playing educational games to understand why plastic is an issue and why we should use less.
We would really appreciate your help to guide the groups and help with the activities.
Please let us know which of the three days you can attend so we have an idea of how many volunteers we have for each day.
We believe children are the key to solving Bali's plastic crisis. We already successfully led a clean up for St Thomas Aquino Preschool with 100 young kids but this is a new age group and a bigger group too so we need all the help we can get!
Where does the trash go?

Bersih-Bersih Bersama Anak Sekolah
Kami membutuhkan bantuan Anda!
Kami membersihkan pantai dengan lebih dari 600 anak dari Sekolah Dasar St Thomas Aquino selama tiga hari!
Pada tanggal 27, 28 dan 29 Mei, kita akan memiliki 200+ anak di setiap pagi harinya melakukan pembersihan pantai dan bermain game edukatif untuk memahami mengapa plastik menjadi masalah dan mengapa kita harus mengurangi penggunaannya.
Kami akan sangat menghargai bantuan Anda untuk memandu kelompok dan membantu dalam kegiatan-kegiatannya
Harap memberi tahu kami yang mana dari tiga hari tersebut yang Anda dapat hadiri, sehingga kami memiliki gagasan tentang seberapa banyak sukarelawan yang akan membantu kami pada setiap harinya.
Kami percaya anak-anak adalah kunci untuk menyelesaikan krisis plastik di Bali. Kami sudah berhasil mengajak dan memandu pembersihan untuk TKK St Thomas Aquino dengan 100 anak tetapi yang sekarang ini adalah kelompok usia baru dan kelompok dengan jumlah lebih besar juga, sehingga kami membutuhkan semua bantuan yang bisa kami dapatkan!
Kemana sampah tersebut pergi?

😩 Bali 'unbanning' plastic!? 😭
‼️HELP‼️The plastic bag, straw and styrofoam ban on Bali is being challenged and taken to court!
Sign the petition to make sure this doesn't happen! It takes less than 30 seconds!
... 👇 Sign NOW 👇
http://chng.it/Csr8vvjkkS
Bali has been changing it's plastic use. The ban is working and even in local communities the ban is being enforced. This means less plastic waste - yessss! 👏 Unfortunately this means some organisations are losing out on profit. What do you support - profit or planet?
Read more on the petition ...
"There is currently a court case by the Indonesian Plastic Recycling Association/Asosiasi Daur Ulang Plastik Indonesia (ADUPI).
ADUPI claims that the plastic ban is leading to a shortage of materials for their recycling business and that producers of plastic are losing business as they can no longer sell plastic in Bali. Moreover, they claim that this regulation represents a violation of human rights.
ADUPI’s claims are both weak and unfounded."

EDIT - Old News! This is actually from 2012. Thanks to Nancy for making us aware. We will be checking more thoroughly in the future!
💔 Breaking News 💔
Over 3000 dolphins found dead in Peru
... Recently 481 were found and in the past 3 months an average of 30 have been washing up every day! Why have we only heard about this now!? 😩
One theory is that a controversial technique to detect oil underground using sonar is to blame.
In 2003 a study was published by the Zoological Society of London showing that this type of sonar might be giving whales and dolphins “the bends”. This is a life threatening condition known by scuba divers caused by bubbles forming in the blood.
We need Peru to take action and find out which petroleum companies are working in the area.

Nestle - a billion single use plastics a day 🥤
As consumers we vote with our money. If enough of us demand change from big corporations they have to listen and often they make changes.
Of course it isn't just Nestle to blame but they are one of the top three brands responsible for plastic waste worldwide. In some areas of the world like the Philippines they were the top polluter. Nestle sells a billion products a day with 98% of them wrapped in plastic! 🥺
... Try to avoid supporting big polluters like Nestle. The answer is not recycling the plastic we use. The answer is using less.

🎶 Please sing this as you read ...
You think you own whatever land you land on The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim But I know every rock and tree and creature... Has a life, has a spirit, has a name You think the only people who are people Are the people who look and think like you But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger You'll learn things you never knew, you never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest Come taste the sun sweet berries of the Earth Come roll in all the riches all around you And for once, never wonder what they're worth The rainstorm and the river are my brothers The heron and the otter are my friends And we are all connected to each other In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
How high will the sycamore grow If you cut it down, then you'll never know And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon For whether we are white or copper skinned We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains We need to paint with all the colors of the wind You can own the Earth and still All you'll own is Earth until You can paint with all the colors of the wind
Sometimes we forget what we are a part of. In order to protect nature we need to connect to it. We are not separate. We are connected. Here at Ocean Mimic we believe that. Do you?
