Life in plastic

» Earlier this month, a whale was found dead in the southern province of Songkhla after coughing up more than 80 (count 'em! 80!) pieces of plastic bags. We pay the price for being heavy users of single-use plastic items at the cost of a life of one poor, innocent mammal that made national and international headlines around the world. It's a huge wake-up call for us to take immediate action and change our behaviour with the way we do away with our rubbish.

» Launched in March, Cocogo is an online food delivery service that specialises in healthy eating, focused on those who don't have the time to cook or go to a restaurant. However, Cocogo isn't your usual "order one quick meal on the go". They deliver a set meal plan consisting of two or three meals a day. That means you can depend on their service for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But how does it fare among other healthy food delivery services? For those who haven't started that diet plan for their new year resolutions, read on to find out.

» Plastic pollution is an ever-increasing threat to health and the environment, signalling a desperate call for change. Madeleine Recknagel aims to fight the "throwaway" lifestyle we have become so accustomed to by leading a zero-waste lifestyle with a philosophy of rethink, refuse, reduce, reuse, repair, recycle and rot. The lecturer gives talks and hosts workshops at various institutions and events, highlighting issues, as well giving out solutions on the use of plastic. She recently did a talk at TEDxChiangMai last year titled 'From Sustainable Self to Sustainable Us'. She has a blog and Facebook/Instagram page called "The Sustainable Self", which serves as a platform for her to provide tips and insights to hosting community workshops on how to live a waste-free lifestyle.
Green world rising

» The Mall Group has begun charging B1 for each plastic bag to coincide with the International Plastic Bag Free Day on Jul 3. Shoppers at The Mall, Emporium, EmQuartier and Siam Paragon are being encouraged to bring their own bags for all their shopping needs. It's a small but significant step towards the city's progress in reducing the use of plastic like many other places in Thailand. Even Central Group has stopped handing out plastic bags to shoppers. Additionally, they will not provide plastic bags on the 1st, 4th and 16th of every month reminding shoppers to bring in their reusable bags.
