Pattaya educates public on recycling, composting

PATTAYA:--Pattaya officials are attempting to educate community leaders and students about the need to better separate waste, recycling and composting to tackle the city’s garbage crisis.

 

Deputy Mayor Ronakit Ekasingh opened the Jan. 19 workshop at Pattaya City School 7 with top officials from the city Environment Department.

 

Environmental Director Sutee Tunnonghe said Pattaya is trying to raise awareness of the public about separating trash and using less plastic and foam.

 

Pattaya is growing every day and that means residents have to change their behavior to stop using plastic bags and foam boxes unless necessary.

 

Thailand, he pointed out, discards 45 billion pieces of plastic and foam a year, giving the country the ignominious title of having the highest ratio of daily waste per person – 1.76 kilograms – in Southeast Asia.

Should be

Pattaya is growing every day and that means residents VENDORS have to change their behavior to stop using plastic bags and foam boxes unless necessary.

Plastic bags and foam boxes are illegal (except very rare exceptions) in my hometown in USA. Has not caused any great burden on commerce. Differences include laws are enforced there, the public does care about environment, etc etc

 Fines for using foam and plastic could lead to quick changes here. Flapping jaws.... not a chance.

Let us jump together and the would will be a better place 

Wake up Thailand 

Forced education camps could possibly work

Pattaya educates the public !

Well, who would have ever thought.

Not many "takers" in the photo - just 1.

perfect....since the entire area is a compost heap.
