"I really think that the response has been really good. People have always told me 'you're never going to change the behaviour, Indonesians don't care' and I was like, I really don't think so... Indonesians across all classes they see the plastic problem, and they care about their country, they care about making it better. And I think this is really why the response has been so good."
