I follow Pak (mr) Lukman and his family since 2014, I will never forget the sweet heavy smell of the polluted water when I first visited his neighbourhood. I have witnessed his environment change over the years, I thought things could not get any worse but they did. The fish are gone. Every month he has to go out further to sea, but that is difficult because his boat is too small. "We take and we take, we give nothing back." Pak Lukman is right. How much more can we take? When is it really too much? I love the ocean too, however, what do I give back?! As a photographer I tell visual stories. The story of Pak Lukman is also our story. I made this video to let you experience the reality of plastic pollution through Pak Lukmans eyes. I hope it will contribute to raise awareness we have gone too far and it is time to give back. Please Share if you care.

Meet Mr Lukman, fisherman in the Bay of Jakarta. He will take you out fishing. See and feel what it's like to live with plastic pollution. Every year it is e...

Setiap minggu saya pergi ke bengkel sepeda. Di Kawasan Kota Tua, ada Onthel Tourist Bicycle Grup, tempat di mana kami bisa mereparasi sepeda kami sendiri karena di sana sudah disediakan semua peralatannya. Jalan di Kawasan Kota Tua banyak yang buruk sehingga ban sepeda kami sering bocor. Saya mereparasi sepeda saya sendiri.

Saya bangga dengan sepeda yang saya bawa sendiri dari Jawa Timur 20 tahun lalu. Sepeda saya sudah tua, tapi belum jadi sepeda antik. Saya punya satu lagi sepeda di rumah, asli dari seorang Kapten Belanda, aman tersimpan di rumah saya di Jepara.

Sepeda antik itu nilainya tinggi sekali dan tidak bisa digunakan untuk membawa turis karena beberapa dari mereka bahkan tidak tahu bagaimana caranya naik sepeda. (Pak Sumari, Tour Guide Sepeda di Kota Tua)
