We would like to manage effectively organic waste through the development of food waste decomposers, which are used widely in many countries but are expensive. We aim to create an affordable product for Thai consumers without relying heavily on technology. This will ultimately improve household hygiene, and the waste can be turned into organic fertilizer for plants and the soil.

Our goal is to fight urban problems through urban farming. Through the E-idea project, the team has the long- term goal of promoting the concept of urban farming to 50 sample communities in Bangkok City. We will undertake this initiative together with the communities, aiming to educate them about urban farming and working together to turn the project into reality. The result of this project will be to create more green areas in the city, a better physical environment, and ultimately promote Bangkok City as a town famed for urban farming.

We aim to promote Pai to become a green tourism city by focusing on waste management with the participation of municipalities, schools, communities and tourist businesses to solve the overflow of waste pollution in the city caused by urbanization and tourism. In the future, we hope Pai can become a model for sustainable tourism for other areas.

In order to realize a sustainable society, organizations both public and private must strive for innovative, technological change to transform our consumerist society that relies on coal and oil for energy production and the exploitation of natural resources for our convenience and comfort. However, technological change is only part of the effort required; a greater effort is necessary to ensure that the economic benefits are distributed equally on a larger scale. It is our vision to support technological change towards a cleaner and greener economy, where the benefits are distributed equally to every sector of the population. Through the Kokoboard initiative, we are taking steps towards this vision by developing a technology that produces particle boards from agricultural by-products or waste such as rice straw, giving it a new added-value. This not only helps reduce carbon dioxide and deforestation, but it also gives a secondary income to rice farmers, addressing the two issues of environmental protection and economic benefit.

The Chiang Mai Green City Project or Chiang Mai Keaw Suay Homm Project aims to promote the city as a “green cultural city” and a comfortable place to live. A variety of government and non- government organizations are cooperating as partners for the project. Critical environmental problems, such as waste overload, inappropriate management and smog are not caused by one factor, and, thus, collaboration and social responsibility are the keys to the success of our project. The social enterprise “Keaw Suay Homm Organic Fertilizer” is looking to develop fertilizer from organic waste, using a technique from a famous local researcher, to generate income for supporting social activities. The enterprise provides an opportunity for people from Chiang Mai to become involved in tackling critical environment issues by participating in the Keaw Suay Homm Organic Fertilizer project.

We realise that to combat climate change and global warming, we need to focus on its main cause, and reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. We have devised a project of inducing oxygen by the use of the antagonistic spawn trichoderma in mangrove forests. This antagonistic fungus can improve the resistance and immunity of the mangrove forest. Through biological production, we aim to create this fungus as a tablet fertilizer to be used with mangrove forests to speed up growth rate and extend their lifespan.
