Ceremony waste is divided into two, namely organic waste (canang, leaves, coconut leaves, flowers) and inorganic waste (plastic bags, bottles). Garbage left over from ceremonies is often found in large temples in Bali, for example Pura Batur. This rubbish comes from people who pray whether there are religious ceremonies or not. If there is a problem there must be a solution. Organic waste such as canang, leaves, coconut leaves and flowers can be processed into "BRIORA" Organic Briquettes from Ceremonial Waste. These briquettes can be used as a substitute for incense and burnt when praying. BRIORA can also be used to cook ceremonial ingredients such as rolling suckling pig and grilling satay. BRIORA can be sold by temple people who have processed the organic waste, by selling it offline and online (e-commerce, social media). This is what causes organic waste left over from ceremonies to be much better processed into organic briquettes because, 1. Build a sense of creativity 2. Create a sense of environmental concern 3.

Over-tourism in Bali has caused negative impacts such as environmental degradation, traffic congestion, and disruption to local communities. To address this issue, a well-planned strategy is needed to ensure tourism remains sustainable and balanced.
The first crucial step is to limit the number of tourists in overcrowded destinations. This can be achieved by implementing ecology-based entrance fees, which help regulate visitor numbers while generating funds for environmental conservation.
Additionally, redistributing tourism to North, East, and West Bali is essential to reduce overconcentration in the South. Developing eco-friendly public transportation, such as electric buses and bicycle lanes, can also ease congestion and reduce pollution.
Sustainable tourism should provide greater opportunities for local communities so that the benefits of tourism are not solely enjoyed by investors but also contribute to the well-being of Balinese residents. Promoting culture- and nature-based tourism will help maintain Bali’s charm and ensure its long-term sustainability. +

Overtourism in Bali has caused land conversion, water crisis, plastic waste, and security disturbances (Nugraha, 2022). This arises due to successful tourism marketing, easy access, and cultural and natural attractions that are reinforced by social media and the digital nomad trend (Veríssimo et al., 2020). The impacts include traffic jams, rising property prices, and environmental damage. To overcome this problem, Tourism Business Certification is needed in accordance with Law No. 10 of 2009 to improve the quality of the tourism industry. We, students of SMA Negeri 4 Denpasar, develop innovations in waste processing and promoting local MSMEs so that culture remains sustainable. Currently, our program has developed with a focus on developing tourism businesses and the creative economy. Young people have an important role in driving positive developments. In addition, government policies in selecting tourists need to be tightened for the sustainability of Bali tourism. Let's protect the environment together and build a better future! +
To reduce waste in religious activities in Bali, use natural materials such as leaves and flowers for offerings and avoid single-use plastics. Choose recyclable packaging and provide separate trash bins. Educate participants about the importance of sorting waste and maintaining cleanliness. +
To reduce waste in religious activities in Bali, several steps can be implemented. First, choose environmentally friendly materials, such as banana leaves, instead of plastic or paper. Second, provide training on waste management to the community and visitors. Third, apply a good waste sorting system, separate between organic and non-organic waste.
However, if these steps are not adequate, consider additional steps. Improve the waste management infrastructure with better recycling facilities and effective landfills. Find alternative materials that are easier to decompose and support local innovations in creating environmentally friendly products. Apply a compost program for organic waste so that it can become fertilizer. Ensure that there is strict supervision and enforcement of rules related to waste management, as well as increasing community participation in waste reduction efforts. With a comprehensive and consistent approach, we can preserve the environment while still respecting religious traditions. +
Overtourism in Bali is a complex issue and has a significant impact on the environment, culture, and local communities. Tourism, the backbone of the main economy, causes traffic jams, and damage to cultural sites. Local people also lost space and cultural identity due to excessive commercialisation.
The solution that needs to be implemented is to limit the number of tourists, implement environmental taxes, and provide education to tourists to respect Bali's customs and culture. The government also needs to empower local people so they get fair benefits from tourism, without damaging cultural and environmental heritage which is the main attraction of Bali. +
"Preserving the Sacredness of Temples Through Waste Management Based on Tradition and Regulations" +
Reducing waste at temples can begin by implementing *Bali Governor Regulation No. 97 of 2018*, which limits the use of single-use plastics. For example, temples can adopt a *zero waste* approach by encouraging worshippers to bring offerings without plastic wrapping, potentially reducing plastic waste by up to 30% per ceremony.
Additionally, waste bins should be provided according to type—organic and non-organic—as per *Regional Regulation No. 5 of 2011* on Waste Management. Organic waste, such as leaves from offerings, can be composted and used as fertilizer for ornamental plants around the temple area.
This initiative can be strengthened through monthly education and collective cleanup events, so that worshippers not only perform rituals but also actively maintain the sacred natural surroundings of their place of worship +
“React and Prevent : How to Reduce Waste in Religious Activities”
The problem of garbage in religious activities in Bali is very much. Therefore, in order to maintain the purity and harmony of Bali, in accordance with the vision of Nangun Sat Kerthi Loka Bali, and the Regional Regulation of Bali Province Number 5 Year 2011 on Waste Management. Balinese society should take a role to reduce waste, as follows :
a). Improve the knowledge of villagers about waste, such as socialization or others. b). Establish rules related to waste management in religious activities. For example, Besakih Temple, one of them is the ban on using plastic bags.
c). Tapping specific rural communities about waste. Like the community "Can Be Normal" in the village of Wongaya Gede. The meaning of the waste processing of the Great Work of Batukaru Temple.
d). Garbage banks as a place to sort and collect waste that can be reused.
e). Collaboration between students and villagers or collaboration between villages related to waste management.
f). Evaluation. +
Managing waste during religious activities is an important aspect that we should pay attention to. Waste generated from offerings, ceremonies, and other ritual materials can be addressed in more eco-friendly ways. I encourage reducing the use of offerings made from single-use plastics and opting for natural materials that are biodegradable or can return to the earth. This way, organic waste can be repurposed into compost or naturally decompose into the soil. As for plastic or non-organic waste, it should be collected and processed properly in waste management facilities. This approach allows us to carry out religious practices responsibly while also preserving the environment. I hope everyone becomes more mindful of practices that not only uphold tradition but also support environmental sustainability. +
How can we reduce waste left at Hindu places of worship, especially at Pura Batur and Besakih?
To reduce waste from offerings at Pura Batur and Besakih, several steps need to be taken. First, replace plastic-based offering materials with natural materials such as banana leaves, bamboo, and locally sourced flowers that are biodegradable. Second, educate Hindu worshipers on the importance of maintaining cleanliness and reducing the use of environmentally harmful materials. Third, provide waste sorting facilities around the temple to facilitate recycling. Fourth, collaborate with the government and local communities to implement sustainable waste management systems based on local wisdom. +
To reduce waste in religious activities, there are several steps that can be taken. First, use environmentally friendly materials such as utensils made from leaves or biodegradable materials to replace single-use plastics. Second, educate participants on the importance of maintaining environmental cleanliness and proper waste management. Third, implement the "bring your own container" concept for water bottles or food containers to reduce plastic waste. Fourth, provide separate trash bins for organic, non-organic, and recyclable waste to ensure more effective disposal. Fifth, reduce the use of paper by replacing physical leaflets with digital media such as apps or electronic posters. These steps can help create more environmentally friendly and sustainable religious activities. +
Bali experiences negative impacts due to overtourism, such as environmental damage, traffic jams, and cultural exploitation. In August 2024, 616,641 foreign tourists visited Bali, mostly via Ngurah Rai Airport (Bali Post, 2024). The surge in tourists exacerbated traffic jams in Kuta and Ubud. From January to April 2024, the number of foreign tourists reached 1,847,735, an increase of 7.24% compared to the previous month (Acadlore, 2024).
To overcome this problem, it is necessary to limit the number of tourists, strictly regulate development, and increase tourist awareness. Diversifying destinations to less densely populated areas, such as North and West Bali, can reduce pressure on popular areas. The government must also enforce environmental regulations and ensure that economic benefits are more evenly distributed to local communities. With a sustainable approach, Bali can remain a leading destination without sacrificing the nature and culture that are its identity. +
Bali is one of the best tourist destinations in the world, offering unforgettable experiences for travelers from all over the globe. This island possesses an unparalleled allure.
With its captivating charm, numerous visitors flock to the island for vacations. The sheer volume of tourists contributes to environmental degradation, including issues like waste management, pollution, and excessive traffic congestion.
Therefore, we must safeguard Bali from overtourism to preserve its local culture. This can be achieved by raising awareness and educating tourists about the importance of protecting the island's environment and culture. Naturally, the involvement of the local community is also essential to collectively preserve and nurture Bali. +
Reducing waste in every religious ceremony can be realized through the concept of "Pura Hijau", which is to make the temple an environmentally friendly place of worship. The first step is to reduce disposable materials during the ceremony. For example, replacing plastic with natural materials such as banana leaves or woven bamboo as a container. The concept of "Pura Hijau" can also be implemented by providing separate trash cans for organic and inorganic waste, so that it is easier to process. Education about the importance of maintaining environmental cleanliness needs to be given to the community, including the recommendation to bring environmentally friendly worship equipment. Thus, "Pura Hijau" is not just a concept but can be applied in reality in every ceremony, thus maintaining the sanctity of the place of worship and preserving the surrounding environment. +
We know that Bali's economy relies on the tourism sector. However, overtourism is not just a matter of tourist density, but also a threat to culture and the environment. Foreign cultures are increasingly pervasive, displacing local traditions, while traditional transportation such as cikar and dokar are starting to be marginalized by motorized vehicles that pollute nature.
To maintain the noble culture of Bali, a strong commitment is needed from the community, government, and tourists through TIRTA:
1. Strict tourism management so that the number of tourists remains controlled and of high quality.
2. Integration of culture & environment so that tourism does not erode local identity.
3. Revitalization of tradition by strengthening community pride in their customs.
4. Shared responsibility between the government, community, and tourists in preserving culture.
5. Direct it towards sustainable tourism that is community-based without damaging the environment.
Cultural festivals must also be strengthened with real regulations, not just mere ceremonies. If this commitment is ignored, the consequences could erode Bali's identity as a noble cultural heritage. With TIRTA, Bali can continue to shine amidst the current of globalization without losing its identity. +
"The Role of Religious Activities in Environmental Conservation: Reducing Waste for the Harmony of Nature" +
In religious activities, a lot of waste can be generated if there is no effort to care for the environment. One example is the use of single-use plastics, which are a major source of waste. A good way to reduce this is by avoiding plastics or materials that are difficult to decompose, and instead using reusable items, such as woven offering bowls or cloth bags. Mutual care for the environment and working together to clean up even small amounts of waste is crucial.
During large ceremonies, waste management can be organized beforehand to prevent it from piling up. Caring for the environment during religious activities should be an integral part of religious teachings that promote the preservation of nature and harmony. +
The execution of religious ceremonies should include proper waste management to ensure it remains orderly and systematic. Organic waste, such as used offerings, should be processed into compost or reused for planting in gardens or forests. Plastic and inorganic waste should be separated and placed in designated bins. The village should implement a recycling system involving the local community to ensure that plastics and other inorganic materials are reused. Additionally, it is important to provide education and outreach to both youth and community members to prevent waste accumulation and reduce pollution. This is our responsibility to maintain a clean and sustainable environment. +
