Making clutter count
Guru, Suthivas Tanphaibul, Published on 07/01/2022
» Knock on wood, it's a relief to enter 2022 in one piece after a white-knuckle rollercoaster ride that the last few years have been. You may already be working on your "New Year, New Me" motto and planning which New Year's resolution box to tick first. You can also have a fresh start at home by donating stuff you no longer want to public and private organisations that turn your pre-loved items, or even trash, into treasures for people in need. Plus, it's a win-win situation where you can declutter your home while making the beginning of the new year better for others, as well.

The plastic-less revolution
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 17/01/2020
» The first day of 2020 saw a major change in the lives of those who live in the Kingdom of Thailand: the (almost total) disappearance of single-use plastic bags. It's a huge change but a seemingly necessary one. According to the United Nations Environment Programme, Thailand is one of the four countries responsible for half of all plastic in the oceans in Southeast Asia. While 2019 saw a drastic drop in the use of plastic bag, the plan is to eliminate 225,000 tonnes of plastic waste per year. Single-use plastic bags are just the beginning though as bottle caps, cups and straws are next on the list. So what exactly are people saying about the ban? Is it absolutely necessary? What does it mean for customers who go grocery shopping? Are there ways to help lessen plastic waste? Hopefully, this clarifies some things and answers some of your questions.
