was created?

Developers
Instagram was developed in San Francisco by Kevin Systrom and Mike
Krieger. After meeting people who worked for venture capitalist firms at a
party, Systrom got them to agree to a meeting to discuss Burbn. After the
first meeting, he quit his job and two weeks later he had raised $500,000
from the firms.At this point, Systrom decided to find a team to help him and
Mike Krieger agreed to join.

Increase awareness
of environmental
protection
Environmentally-conscious celebrities and bloggers use
Instagram as a platform to inform and educate their
followers about climate change and other issues.

Leonardo DiCaprio never posts selfies or other
personal photos. All the content he shares is
dedicated to climate change. He strives to show his
fans that environmental issues are real and
encourages everyone to join Greta Thunberg's
movement.
How to start
living an
eco-friendly
lifestyle?
 “Some people do understand that they should
change their habits and contribute to
environmental protection, but they have no idea
where they should start. They are interested in a
zero-waste lifestyle. But they do not dare to try it
because the transition from one lifestyle to
another seems to be too challenging and
sophisticated,” explains Melinda Jones, a reviewer
at PickWriters.
Fundraising for
charity
Instagram influencers strive not
only to bring attention to
environmental issues but also to
resolve these issues as soon as
possible.

according to Putri Silalahi
The original “Instagram Tour” was launched
by the Bali Bible, an online guidebook and
booking agency. Others followed suit. “The
inspiration of the Instagram Tour was to
show individuals the true beauty of Bali,
from hidden waterfalls to iconic temples,
lush rice fields, and the incredible ‘Bali
Swing,’” says Bronte Thompson

These locations were popular

before tours of this kind existed.
However, the exponential
increase in visitors throughout
Bali and the subsequent
property development is
straining the environment.
