1. Eco-Schools: Creating Future Environmental Leaders [5.22 minutes]
The eco-schools programme is an innovative curriculum-based environmental education initiative supported by national education department.

2. Bali's Environmental Ambassadors [7.17 minutes]
Bali is about to become an environmental disaster! Piles of rubbish are getting dumped on the side of the roads, onto the beaches, into the rivers, floating into the sea. Surfers and swimmers get sick regularly from the sewage in the seawater. The food is covered in toxic chemicals or flavored with MSG. Not to think of the future consequences of these practices on the fast growing tourism industry - the island's only source of income - and even more horrifying the health risks for the people.
