From local to global: Development and transformation of bye-bye plastic bags movement

This research examines the development and transformation of a local movement into a global movement, with a case study of the Bye Bye Plastic Bags (BBPB) movement. BBPB is a movement initiated at the local level, namely Bali, as a response to the problem of plastic bag waste. During its development, this idea was adopted in various countries which has made BBPBnolonger just a local scale movement. It has developed into a global movement in the form of a global civil society. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to understand and analyze the development of BBPB from a local movement to a global movement. The concepts used are global civil society and cosmopolitanism. From a methodological perspective, this study uses a descriptive-qualitative approach. Primary data were collected through interviews and documentary studies which were processed from publications on BBPB social media using NVivo 12 Plus
features NCapture. The secondary data were obtained from various relevant literature. The results showed that the development of BBPB from being a local movement to a global movement cannot be separated from two keywords, namely growing consciousness and growing interconnectedness. The existence of BBPB indirectly represents the effort to realize the SDGs agenda, especially the
13th goal of the need for mutual action to combat climate change.
