ECO News

With an urgent need to restore the Chao Praya River an abbot in the Thai capital began recycling in his temple. They now collect 300 tonnes of plastic a year. Along with the organisation Seven Clean Seas they have now launched a solar-powered boat to remove plastic from one of Bankok’s busiest waterways.

Live like a Spartan!

Most of us already have more stuff than we need!  Underconsumption is a TikTok trend now, but could it become something you could try? Why not try it for a month and see how you get on from reusing that teabag to looking for second-hand alternatives.
