The document describes RefillMyBottle, an initiative to reduce plastic waste from water bottles in Bali. Over 5 million tourists visit Bali each year and use over 6 million single-use plastic water bottles per month. RefillMyBottle addresses this by creating a network of "RefillStations" where people can refill reusable water bottles for free or low cost. The initiative aims to reduce plastic waste and encourage sustainable water consumption among both travelers and locals. It is led by a small team of "Wateriors" and supported by volunteers across Bali.
RefillMyBottle provides a simple solution to the problem of use of single used plastic bottles.
We have created a network of RefillStations that are listed on an online map.
Anyone can use these RefillStations to refill their bottles as an alternative to buying water in single-use plastic bottles.
We are a community of responsible travellers, conscious
locals and mindful business owners who take action against
plastic waste.
Our goal is to reduce the number of single-use plastic
bottles used unnecessarily, starting in Indonesia.
Our mission is to:
- Register local businesses as RefillStations, providing water for free or minimum fee
- Convert travellers behavior from buying plastic bottles to refilling their bottles
- Raise awareness of solutions to the plastic problem

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Over 5 million travellers visit Bali every year, staying in Bali
for an average of 4 days. Tourists consume, on average, 2
litres of water each day. With each tourist using around 4
half-litre bottles a day, over 6 million disposable plastic bottles
are used and discarded every month in Bali alone. The lack of
waste management systems means that these water bottles
end up in landfills, the ocean, or are burned which creates
toxic fumes. It’s clear that the problem needs to be tackled at
the source by reducing the consumption of plastic water

RefillMyBottle provides a simple solution to this complex
problem. We have created a network of RefillStations that are
listed on an online map. Anyone can use these RefillStations
to refill their bottles as an alternative to buying water in
single-use plastic bottles.
We are a community of responsible travellers, conscious
locals and mindful business owners who take action against
plastic waste.
Our goal is to reduce the number of single-use plastic
bottles used unnecessarily, starting in Indonesia.
Our mission is to:
Register local businesses as RefillStations, providing
water for free or minimum fee
Convert traveller behaviour from buying plastic bottles
to refilling their bottles
Raise awareness of solutions to the plastic problem
