Frequently asked question
What is MUDFISH NO PLASTIC?
What does MUDFISH NO PLASTIC do?
We deliver workshops, using creative activities to educate local children and their communities about the dangers of single-use plastic and pollution. Alongside our workshop program, we provide practical solutions such as reusable water bottles, tote bags, water filter dispensers, and trash bins. We also run training for educators to teach children about single-use plastic and pollution, and coordinate with recycling organisations to assist local communities with an effective low-cost waste management system.
How can I reduce plastic?
We understand that living completely single-use plastic free is not realistic because it isn't always easy, accessible or affordable, we're not perfect either!
We try to emphasise to the children we teach that what is most important is having the curiosity and eagerness to learn, so here are some tips if you want to know how to start reducing your use of plastic:
- Say no to plastic straws, cutlery, and lids
- Carry a reusable water bottle and bag
- Buy fruits and vegetables loose free of excess packaging where possible
- Avoid products which contain micro beads
- Use bar soap instead of liquid hand/body wash packaged in plastic
- Buy foods in bulk or in paper packaging when possible to cut down on plastic packaging
How can I donate to you?
We welcome and are grateful for all and any contributions towards our organisation to continue the work that we do. There are several ways you can donate to Mudfish No Plastic. For financial donations please visit our "Donation" page.
We accept non-financial donations for the materials we need such as coloured pencils, crayons, environmental/educational children books, scrap fabrics, water filters, reusable water bottles, and bags.
Receiving these materials are very helpful as they reduce the need for our organisation to purchase these supplies ourselves and use the money elsewhere, so please reach out to us by email at mudfishnoplasticindonesia@gmail.com if you can help out!
Where does the money go?
All the donations we receive go towards the running of our organisation's various activities to provide more environmental education and practical solutions to local children and their communities.
We use the majority of our funds to purchase reusable bottles, bags and rubbish bins to the community, as well as covering the reoccurring costs of our educational and art materials.
We also use our funds to empower local people who work with us by providing trash collectors and educators of Mudfish No Plastic dignified salaries.
Where does MUDFISH NO PLASTIC operate?
MNP's headquarters are located in Gianyar, Bali, Indonesia. As a result we mainly operate in Bali, however we have previously delivered our educational programs to other islands in Indonesia (Sumbawa, Lombok, Java) and would like to continue to do so when these opportunities arise!
