Indonesian President Joko Widodo with our inibags Trash Hero edition. We made this bag from two recycled plastic bottles โป๏ธ!
Well done SuSan Stephanie, Trash Hero Indonesia and DOCK Komodo
Wednesday, 10th July, 2019 was a historical moment for Labuan Bajo and also for all of us in DOCK!
Our project and conservation manager SuSan Stephanie was privileged enough to meet Presiden Joko Widodo during one of the evening events! Being Indonesia's number one, we hope that Jokowi would also be the number one DOCK supporter for the Save Money Save Komodo campaign. So it only seemed right that he was presented with the special VIP tag number 00001, which we have been keeping for a while now ๐
Although he might not need it, this tag still entitles him to discounts across Labuan Bajo's best stores, restaurants, bars and dive centers. Jokowi was also presented with a Trash Hero Indonesia reusable shopping bag, DOCK water bottle, reusable stainless steel straw set, a town map with the location of refill water stations as well as a copy of The Voice of Flores second edition magazine. The Save Money Save Komodo campaign is the first initiative of its kind in Indonesia, and to meet and receive support from Jokowi was an absolute honour.
Want to get your own DOCK eco-travel kit? They can be purchased from shops around Labuan Bajo or at DOCK dive centers for just 150,000 IDR!
