Chao Phraya Youth Summit in collaboration with the Planeteer Alliance
(Bangkok, Thailand. 2023)

On August 28th, 2023, we had the pleasure of receiving around 30 students from Bangkok to learn how to initiate campaigns to tackle plastic pollution locally and globally. Participants learned about plastic pollution in general and the air pollution caused by plastic disposal and incineration; began awareness campaigns to shed a light on the threats facing the Chao Phraya River among Thai youth; and were inspired to take action by understanding the various solutions that can be implemented at different levels to combat the problem, from community cleanups to zero-waste business models and policy lobbying. Ultimately, we empowered youth to collaborate with one another to create their own team campaigns to tackle plastic pollution.
