Environmental protection, or sustainability, is something that many people in Thailand are still quite unfamiliar with. Even though it’s an issue that affects us all, it remains an issue that still needs more attention from society. Better education on the subject is a good place to start, as well as teamwork and mutual dedication. It’s simply not enough to have just a few activists working hard to protect the environment - this is an issue that requires everybody’s efforts in order to make a difference. And not just occasional acts either, but permanent habits. A collective change in mindset and habit is the best and surest way to help Thailand become a greener place.
