06 January 2017 – Trash Hero @Work Program
Our recent launch of the Trash Hero @Work program has just been written about in a Swiss newspaper from Lucerne. Read it here.
Trash Hero World’s @Work program creates a solid basis for reducing corporate and business waste to a minimum. In a first step, all office waste on an average day is analysed in detail. One by one, steps are then taken to reduce waste to a minimum. Employees might all commit to using our stainless steel bottles, or use their own containers to pick up their lunches. Slowly but surely, employees can move towards implementing a zero waste philosophy and can see how small changes make a big difference.

02 January 2017 – Trash Hero Chiang Mai
Trash Hero Chiang Mai has been going strong since August 2015, and we just read this fantastic report Shayne Rochfort, one of the Trash Heroes from Chiang Mai:
Have you had a great Trash Hero experience? I have. I have only done two of our Chiang Mai cleanups, and they have been fun. Who would have thought? The November cleanup was my first ever, and picking up trash with a group of people was very rewarding, and a great chance to get to know more about other Trash Heroes in Chiang Mai. Altogether, we picked up 1000 kgs of top quality trash.
My second cleanup was our last one on Christmas Eve. Again, we removed heaps of trash from our wonderful city, and had plenty of fun along the way.
Now I would like you to do something that is even easier… Ask you to help us grow the Trash Hero Chiang Mai? Here are my suggestions:
1. Tell everyone about your Trash Hero experience, here and in person.
2. Invite your friends to join you for the next cleanup and invite them to like the Trash Hero Chiang Mai Facebook page (and the Trash Hero World Facebook page while they’re at it).
3. Join the Trash Hero committee. A non-compulsory commitment of about 2 hours per month plus cleanups and putting your thoughts out in our group chats is what is required. We all lead busy lives, so we do what we can and keep the commitment low.
Our group consists neither of Thai people nor of foreign people. We are all just Trash Heros. Other chapters in Thailand have a lot more going on, and we would like to do more here in Chiang Mai as well. Trash Hero Chiang Mai can work towards an even brighter future for our beautiful city!
At the moment Trash Hero Chiang Mai already has:
All we need now to make Trash Hero Chiang Mai great is … YOU!
