Minister Temengil offered us all the natural sunscreen that one of the teenagers of Palau makes that is safe for the reefs. She belongs to "Heirs To Our Ocean" – they have school chapters and are advocating for no plastic zone in the ocean, and no plastic zone in Palau.

The President has also declared every government function and any activities promoted by the government to be a no plastic zone. They encouraged people to bring their own water bottles and reusable containers. Minster Temingel told us that at all the meetings at the Capitol everyone arrives with their reuseable coffee cups and containers. She even said if you follow the President’s car, be ready stop often – if he sees trash he has to stop to pick it up!
