The activities aimed to foster environmental awareness among young people, promote waste reduction, segregation, and reuse, and encourage participation in natural resource conservation and climate action.
The event featured exhibition booths supported by 17 organizations, waste segregation learning activities, knowledge sharing on the reuse of recyclable waste and discarded materials, a costume competition using waste materials, and a panel discussion on “Empowering Youth to Address the Global Boiling Crisis.” Tree seedlings were also distributed for participants to plant and care for, encouraging the expansion of green spaces.

Mr. Manit Tha Chin encouraged participants to begin with everyday actions, including reducing waste, separating household waste, choosing reusable materials, and planting trees.
The activities provided opportunities for young people and other participants to learn about environmental issues through exhibitions and practical learning activities. They also brought partner organizations together to promote waste reduction and action against plastic pollution, in line with the World Environment Day 2025 theme “Beat Plastic Pollution” and Thailand’s slogan, translated as “Use Plastic Wisely for a Sustainable Thailand.”
