Chiang Rai awards communities effectively managing waste

 

 

CHIANG RAI, 22nd September 2017 (NNT) – Chiang Rai has awarded a number of villages and communities for adhering to government policy on waste management as part of the “Clean Chiang Rai” campaign. 

Chiang Rai Governor Narongsak Osot-thanakorn, chaired the launch of an academic seminar on the environment also attended by his deputy Sakchai Wongkanit. The discussion focused on garbage management following an announcement by the government placing disposal practices on the national agenda and calling for all areas in all provinces to practice the 3Rs of waste management; Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. 

On this occasion, the governor also handed “Waste Less Live” awards to villages and communities along with institutions such as local administrations and schools that exemplified the tenets of the government policy. A total 632 awards were given out.

The carrot approach.  How refreshing.

Good for them ( although I'm unclear what "waste less live" actually means. A translation problem I guess).  Such schemes need rolling out countrywide.

I'd like to see mulching of most of what's burned every year.
