Keep Bali in Balance
In their life, Balinese put great emphasis on the balance of all world powers and elements. Countless of religious ceremonies are held to keep and restore the balance in the world. Of course, for Balinese, the world means the island of Bali.
However, constant religious ceremonies are not enough to keep Bali free of problems. Agricultural field has been decreasing by 1000 acres every year, as a consequence of the development of tourism and industrial infrastructure. Tourism and industry is also resulting a drained water reserve, mounting waste, polluted river and sea, limited energy and decreasing biodiversity. Among the other things, life quality of the community has declined because of air pollutant, crowded traffic, criminal act and limited space. In short Bali is not in balance.
