From adopting dogs to yoga outdoors, there are tonnes of ways to help the environment in Bali. Get behind World Earth Day and do your bit!
Earth Day is upon us all over the world, and Bali may be small but there are people on the island working hard to do their bit for the environment. We want you to get involved, so get behind World Earth Day and take a look at some things to do to protect the environment and lighten that load off your conscience. And come on, you don’t have to wait for this one special day to show the Earth some love!
Reduce your carbon footprint
Our roads are congested enough and Bali’s tiny; do we really need more cars choking the Earth with exhaust fumes? Besides, why get stuck behind a wheel when you can peddle nonchalantly with a beaut from one of a bicycle? But if cycling’s too mainstream for you, you can always ride a good old scooter.
Show your love for animals
Remember, Earth doesn’t only belong to you! Show your kindness to animals by adopting needy pets. Visit BARC and adopt or foster a furry play mate – take them to the beach and get some outdoor fun for the both of you!
Be one with nature
There are so many outdoor activities to do in Bali, so get out in the nature and explore the island’s incredible waterfalls, the underwater world, or feel the need for speed down the river! Spend the day at one of Bali’s glorious beaches, test your endurance by taking a hike up Mount Batur, and perhaps, even go for an outdoor yoga class!
Dine with the elements
Swanky, air-conditioned restaurants are right up our alley and all, but we do enjoy dining with some alfresco ambience as well. These outdoor restaurants that serve alfresco dining are excellent in our opinion, and these rooftop bars will never judge us for being too loud in the open.
Turn off the lights
Pretty much a no-brainer that you’ve heard time and time again, we know. But then you’re probably thinking, “How am I possibly going to get things done at night, right?”. Save electricity and use less energy by acquiring some candles instead! Light some candles and incense and you’ll not only have classy ornaments flickering across your house, but your pad will smell pleasant too.
