A non-profit outfit encouraging recycling and raising eco-consciousness in Amed, Peduli Alam ('Protect Nature') collects 50 tonnes of rubbish from this part of the island each month, much of which is then used to make the bags and other items that are sold in this shop. The project gives employment to four truck drivers and 14 local women.
The shop also sells bamboo straws and water bottles; the latter can be refilled with filtered water here at no charge.
