My worms.

[Yinn]

Good morning. 

Last six months (about) the schools, orbortor and community talk a lot about the foam and plastic problem.

Good news when people work together. Most food shop in Ranong and Phangnga now not use foam or plastic same before.

Have the new eco takeaway container.

They biodegradable.

 

Not need to burn. No air pollution. Just feed it to the pet worm. 

I do this one to show it. I just put half in, to see it work how. 

 

It take 10 day for my worms to eat it. 

 

 

 

 

[Yinn]

Now after ten day you can see my eco worm eat it already. 

 

Good or the air, goodfor the ocean (no plastic and foam), good for the earth, good for the worm and good for the tree. 

 

Good solution. 

[Yinn]

Can feed the worm all paper, and food leftover. (But the not like to eat lime)

 

Today I give them more. This put all in.

Will check it in 2 weeks.

Nice looking crawlers. Ready to tempt a fat Bass or Rainbow. what do you do with them? Its usually 100 baht for 12 in the USA.

 

I have been seeing those Grace Simple containers here and there in BKK. The Crab Fried Rice girl near my Palace of Love uses them. They tend to keep the food hotter and moister than foam. I bet they are far more expensive though until economies of scale kick in,

Yeah, looking good so far.

Just keep an eye out for two-headed worms ... 

[Moonlover]

Very interesting. Kudos to the O/P for his curiosity. Thanks for posting this @Yinn

 

I recall that sometime ago edible food containers were being used in Hong Kong. Eat your soup then have the bowl for afters!

 

They is a company in Hong Kong, Vegware, that make a whole range of biodegradable food packaging. There is an answer to the plastic problem.

Don't get it, what do you eat?

Not so sure, all Thais have worms.

By the heading Yinn, I thought you had worms (in your body).

Yesterday, there was a post about hemorrhoids. So worms seemed akin to that.

Glad to hear that you are okay.

You could be onto something here. Train the worms to eat hemorrhoids?.........

[grollies]

@Yinn nice topic, maybe a mod could move it to the organic section?

thank goodness this is not posted in the medical forum.

The UK came up with a biodegradable crisp packet. It was 11 pence (four baht) each. Made from eucalyptus.

 

At that price absolutely useless.

That's a good idea. And if the worms are fat enough you can eat the worms. Thais are used to eat insects and for sure will find a recipe that tastes great. In Vietnam you can get for instance this dish below. Great starter for the day if eaten as breakfast.

eeew !  I thought Yinn had worms too !  Keep looking at things slightly weird Yinn and you could be POTY.

the Gracz brand one is good. Make from sugarcane waste. 

 

About 2-3 baht for one container.

I surprise nearly every shop now is using. I think pressure from the orbortor and because education now everyone know we must do it. 

 

The other brand is cheaper one. About one baht for one container. But you right, the gracz brand keep the food very fresh feeling long time. And the worm eat it quicker also!

 

also all the resort westcoast, Kao Lak, etc now use paper straw, this container etc. 

will make big different for the world. Use it, then it disappear one month forever, no pollution. Plastic for more than one hundred year.

 

i see that Phuket place still use plastic/foam. I hope that change soon. And all thailand and all the world.

[Dmaxdan]

I'm all for ideas to help prevent global worming...

[Yinn]

Also have the eco one for soup now...

and more shop use banana leaf also.

 

is good to change.

Well Thailand has a surplus of that. I have yet to see containers like those in the supply chain in the US and the eco ones I have seen are poor quality. 

 

I wonder what "glue" they use. Some type of organic wax perhaps.

 

The trick for Thailand is getting rid of the noodle soup bags.

Yeah it would be nice to take a swim in the sea and not have garbage hit or wrap around you or see on the beach. I am willing to do my part even more than I have been over the years about properly disposing waste. Thing about the new containers is that is pushes the food price up a little bit to the consumers. For me it is ok.

 

One thing we will see on the market coming soon is they are now making straws out of rice.

Not sure. Before the soil is brown sand color. Not have worm. So I find some worm near the lake, do the hole, put some leaf and start that way.

The hole get bigger, now the worm family very many worm. 100+

 

is this one. Maybe you know which one. I not the worm expert. The biggest one about 10cm.

[neeray]

This is your best and most useful post yet Yinn.

Keep spreading the word.

[Yinn]

Can see this photo. The black color (right side) is where I feed the worm. The brown/red color the original one.(left side) 

[FarFlungFalang]

Great topic and the price of the containers should go down if they are adopted by everybody everywhere and maybe Prayuth could get a photo of himself eating out of one of these containers to counter the other infamous photo of him eating from a plastic container and show everyone his is not a "bad guy"?

[Isaanbiker]

Yinn, how do you like the taste of the worms?

 

With some spices, or as they are?
