A mangrove shoot thrives amid the plastic in Jakarta, Indonesia. Indonesia has been ranked the second biggest marine polluter in the world behind only China, with reports showing that the country produces 187.2m tonnes of plastic waste each year. This week, the government announced it will join forces with the country’s two largest Islamic organisations, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah, using their extensive networks across the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation to encourage consumers to reduce plastic waste and reuse their plastic bags.
