Meet Melati Wijsen, 19, and her 17-year-old sister, Isabel. They hail from Bali, Indonesia, and after years of organizing on behalf of the environment, they consider themselves \u201cfull-time changemakers.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2013, the two sisters started an organization called Bye Bye Plastic Bags<\/em>. Their goal was to protect their beautiful island home from the pollution of plastic bags abandoned in ditches, clogging waterways and rice fields, and blowing in the breeze. They were just 12 and 10 years old at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe knew nothing of business plans,\u201d recalls Melati. \u201cThere was no strategy, no plan. All we had was our pure passion and the vision of a plastic-bag-free home. We could see that there was something wrong with the way we were treating Mother Earth. Single-use plastic was ending up in places it shouldn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the time, some 40 other countries had already banned single-use plastic bags. Melati says she and her sister considered their country\u2019s inaction a challenge. \u201cWe thought, wow, if 40 other countries can do that… come on, Bali! Come on, Indonesia, we can do it too!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThere was no strategy, no plan. All we had was our pure passion and the vision of a plastic-bag-free home. We could see that there was something wrong with the way we were treating Mother Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The two sisters began speaking at events and gatherings throughout their community to raise awareness. They recruited friends to work at cleaning up, particularly hard-hit areas such as beaches. They offered educational workshops, too, but their first major event was a \u201cPlastic Is Not Fantastic\u201d festival. To the girls\u2019 surprise, they were met with enthusiasm everywhere they went. Melati recalls, \u201cPeople were saying \u2018Finally! Let\u2019s do it!\u2019 People were so ready for this change.\u201d<\/p>\n

From that point on, Melati and Isabel quickly saw their young lives change. \u201cIt was so much fun, but also much work,\u201d Melati remembers. Weekdays found them meeting with government officials. Clean up projects consumed their weekends. Instead of playing in their neighbourhoods or scheduling activities with school friends, they networked to grow a group of young supporters that eventually covered Bali. Growth continued almost exponentially, as more teens talked up the project and harnessed more youthful energy for making a difference.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of our friends from local and international schools all across Bali started to gather and campaign to make this vision a reality,\u201d says Melati. \u201cEventually, without planning, we became the largest youth-led NGO (non-governmental organization) in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fast forward to June of 2019, when Melati and Isabel\u2019s idea of a plastic-free environment became a reality \u2013 Bali outlawed single-use plastic bags. \u201cOur team was so excited! We celebrated and jumped with joy the whole summer,\u201d says Melati. \u201cBut there was also a moment when we realized our work was only just beginning.\u201d Bye Bye Plastic Bags<\/em> took a leading role in the education and implementation of Bali\u2019s new bag ban. The ban included encouraging people to re-embrace older ways of doing things, such as using woven baskets to carry their goods or choosing banana leaves to wrap packages. But there remained a need for bags of some kind, and Melati made it her project to create a means of providing Bali shoppers with environmental alternatives. Even as she worked to graduate school a year early, Melati laid the groundwork for Mountain Mamas<\/em>, a reusable bag-producing business, intended not only to fill a need for shoppers, but to create economic empower\u00adment for women.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cChange doesn\u2019t always come easy, it does not come fast, and a lot of people need to be involved in making change happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Mountain Mamas<\/em> is a social enterprise with a circular system. Paid by piece for their production, women in Bali mountains produce alternative bags made from what Melati calls \u201cpre-loved materials.\u201d When the bags sell through Mountain Mamas\u2019<\/em> retail partners or online, 50% of the profit goes to the organization and the women\u2019s communities to help fund health care, education, and waste management. Melati hopes that she and Isabel will be able to bring the Mountain Mamas<\/em> concept to other regions of Indonesia. \u201cThis has always been important to my sister and me because we have always wanted to empower more young girls and women to have opportunities as we did.\u201d They also enjoy seeing Bali\u2019s commitment to using less plastic wherever they go. \u201cWe smile when we see women in the community gathering at the market with their alternative bags on their shoulders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just as Melati and Isabel have taken their ideas to Indonesia\u2019s most remote islands by boat, they have also travelled by airplane to major cities such as New York, Tokyo, Stockholm, and Amsterdam. They have spoken to appreciative audiences worldwide via a TED Talk, and Melati even recently co-chaired the final session of the World Economic Forum\u2019s Sustainable Development Impact Summit. She estimates that she and Isabel have reached over 75,000 students as they have formed 50 different leadership teams in 29 countries worldwide. And what have these young women learned along the way? That organizing a group of people, even energetic young people, is no small task. It has required 100% of their energy, passion, ideas, and commitment Melati says, \u201cChange doesn\u2019t always come easy, it does not come fast, and a lot of people need to be involved in making change happen. But one thing we know for sure now is that we are not alone. There are many amazing kids and young adults already on the frontlines of change who want to be changemakers, but don\u2019t know where to start.\u201d<\/p>\n

So Melati and Isabel continue travelling to all corners of the world to share their experiences and advice, and inevitably, the question asked by teens they meet along the way is: How can we do what you do?<\/p>\n

Melati and Isabel have answered the question by creating a new project called YOUTHTOPIA. Its goal is to provide a virtual space where youth can come together,<\/strong> ignite their shared passions, and grow the skills necessary to send them into the world as changemakers themselves. The organization does this by creating short, peer-to-peer content aimed at sharing tips from experienced youth activists with those just getting started. \u201cWe know that our generation\u2019s potential is there, and we know they are hungry for change,\u201d<\/strong> Melati comments. \u201cBut until YOUTHTOPIA, the systems of support and guidance were not in place for young people to think and do things differently. How can we ever begin to motivate our generation to be part of the change if we don\u2019t empower them with the relevant skills, tools, and lessons?\u201d Even those as young as 12, as she was when her journey began, can use their voice for change. All they need, she says, is a community, a space in which to learn, and \u201ca way to envision the accelerated path to change we so urgently need to see in our world.\u201d<\/p>\n
