'ANIMA MUNDI' - Beach Cleaning @ Bang Sean Event

27/8/2019

Comments

Central Embassy together with Central Tham, Seansuk Municipality, The Institute of Marine Science of Burapha University (Under The Royal Patronage of H.M. The Queen), Thailand Green Road, and Precious Plastic, held a cleaning activity at Bang Saen beach, bringing a group of volunteers to help reduce and sustainably turn plastic wastes into valuable materials. This activity was held not only to reduce plastic pollution but also to heighten the awareness of environmental protection and sustainability. We believe small changes will make a difference in our lives.

All plastic bags and bottles collected from the beach will be combined with those from the plastic donation point of ANIMA MUNDI: Soul of the World art exhibition. At last, Thailand Green Road will turn them into recycled paving blocks for Wat Umong in Chiang Mai.

This gathering of volunteers and leading organizations will not be just a beginning if we all care. Together we can sustainably save our world.
