When I look at the cesspool Bangkok these day I see and smell a great improvement over the past 30 years and although I don't profess to know most Thais or what they think I tend to think that most Thais do care about stuff like this when it's in thing to do.

Now, if someone can just develop plastic waste so Thais can grow mushrooms with it, instead of burning forests.......

Well if these containers take off you might be able to collect enough and if you have enough worms to eat them you can sell the worm castings to sell to grow mushrooms.

Impressive.  We had a 'wormarium' at the office when I worked in UK - all the leftovers from lunch went in to it.

 

Think I'll get one for the Thai office - but all our leftovers seem to be taken home in plastic bags.

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

 

With some spices, or as they are?  

Can not eat my worm. They the pet.

 

Also if I eat them, who will eat the rubbish?

 

But if you want to try. Maybe carbonara or bolognaise be delicious for you, and your thai friend maybe worm kee mau.

Most food leftover dog and chicken can eat. But if you not have dog or chicken the worm can eat it (need a lot of worm).

 

But the worm can eat thing that dog and chicken not eat, the paper and leaf.

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. 

 

 

Ok, two week already. So I check how the worm.

i expectation the food box the worm eat already. But I think maybe the box with ink and stronger cardboard they not finish eat already.

 

But I wrong. Everything eat already. Only some plastic (maybe I not see in the box).

surprisingly! 

[Yinn]

So I do again. This time same food box, also some cotton, and other product box. Want to see.

this time I will check more quickly. Maybe 10 days take a look.

 

one small problem. Have lot of mosquito.

[Yinn]

Yesterday I go to the fresh market.

Buy some mackerel (they cook it alteady)

Before, it usually come with foam box and plastic wrap.

 

But Yinn very happy now they use the banana leaf and the banana wood. 

 

So= no foam and more food for me worm. 

Everything improve here a lot now. I have hope other province will copy and other country.

The seller sell more than 100 pack everyday. Some pack have one fish, some pack have two fish.

so maybe now less 1000 foam pack every week. Just one seller.

If every seller do it, = millions less foam .

 

And a lot of food for worm.

Yes. But this banana wood from the tree is the “by product” of growing for banana to eat. 

Use something they just throw away before. Now use it, replace foam, and then give to my worm. 

= good for everyone. And the worm!

Good initiative. I have  one question.....The banana leaf and stem replaces the foam box or tray but what about the plastic film alternative to  keep the contents in it ?

Yes, still have that one, the plastic film. I think about how can do that one also.

 

Is problem, because the customer want to see the fish when they buy it.

 

i think need to new invention about one. I hope soon.

Maybe the original non plastic "cellophane" ?

It has  some use limitations compared to modern plastic  films but for the short term use of  see through wrap for "fresh" food product should be ideal although  it will  not stick to itself the way cling film  does.

Maybe vendors could practice the simple art of using  bio degradable  string to complete the  package?

When I was  young many things were wrapped  in  waxed paper  and  tied with string and/or  cellotape.

Then along  came  plastics  and  Sellotape. Now it  seems the  latter  just  hang  about  too long.

 

[Yinn]

Some people think I am little bit crazy about this.

But I love nature and animal. Is important.

 

The human damage the nature so much. Is up to us to care. Everyone must help.

Reduce the rubbish is good for the air and the sea animal.

This the reason I care. News this make me happy.

ban the plastic!!! 

 

phangnga is next to Ranong. Andaman sea. West coast Thailand. Another good story today the rare bat place in Trang. 

The people and community work together we can be success.

 

 

[Yinn]

I check the worm again.

 

only 9 day.

They eat the food container already.

one product box with advertising (pink) the not finish yet.

and the cotton wool, look like they not will eat it.

The banana tree pack, they not finish yet.

 

Have a lot of worm, and some very long one

 

But also have termite now. I prefer not to have. But they vegetarians, not attack the worm, and help the soil also. Not want to use the poison. 

Look like the worm and termite can live together ok.

 

 

[Yinn]

I give some worm to my friend already. For there rubbish.

So now want to increase worm populations again.

So I put some jackfruit, the rubbish and some leaf this time. 

 

When have have a lot of worm I want to see if can reduce the palm leaf. So much. Some people burn that. Will be better to worm eat that.

No need to kill termites. They are there for a good reason. ????

 

"Termites may be beneficial to your compost pile because they were designed to find nourishment in decomposing plants, so naturally, they can assist your compost pile by breaking down large branches and twigs and other decaying plant life you throw in. They work together with other insect decomposers commonly found in compost, such as earthworms, centipedes, and ants, to break down large organic matter that can then be further decomposed by smaller microorganisms to consume, to finally be turned into a nutrient-rich soil."

Oh good. Thankyou for the information. Maybe will I’ll be good for the palm leaf.

 

 

Look like the termite like to eat the corn waste the most. Is to crunchy for the worm?

i have ant also. I worry the ant will kill and eat the worm. But not happen.

 

i also throw the fish head and bone. It go so quickly. But yesterday I see the monitor water lizard there, I think it eat the fish. 

 

Thankyou

[Yinn]

Ok, 10 days later. Time for check the worm again.

 

All the food cardboard and paper and leaf eat already.

the cotton still not eat, the jackfruit about 50%, and the pink box still not eat (think they will not eat that one)

 

still have many temite.

 

so today I put more jackfruit for vitamin c

some leaf for fiber.

some old egg for protein. 

 

And the rubbish. The rubbish is good progress for earth. 

Tesco paper bag and food container is now the worm food. Before is plastic bag and foam.

Next year many shop will stop plastic bag, and more business stop use the foam. = millions less plastic bag and foam.

is improving.

 

Every morning the bird come steal my worm. 

[Yinn]

Ok.

Now start the next stage my worm project.

 

To many farmer burn in Thailand. make the air terrible. 

We have the palm plantation. 

One problem is the palm leaf.

They about 4 meter long. And very strong more than other leaf.

 

At our place, we never burn it.

But have a lot of snake, rat etc live there. So much.

So many farmer burn this one.

 

 

[Yinn]

So my plan is to feed this to the worm.

 

Today I check, they eat all the rubbish again already.

[Yinn]

So today I give them palm leaf for eat and some rubbish.

 

The palm leaf is about 4 meter length. I break it for the hole.

[Yinn]

And put my worm on.

 

The west coast Thailand have tin mining before. It make the soil weak. Sandy.

 

If worm can eat, will be good for the soil= win for the farmer.

And good for everybody because clean air.

 

The photo show the worm soil and the weak soil.

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.

Good morning merry Christmas
