| TerraCycle Global Foundation: Waterway Clean Up | Waste – Plastic Pollution – Cleaning Klongs – Community Projects TerraCycle Thai Foundation is working to stop Ocean Waste at its source. We specialize in collecting and recycling waste upstream. We also work to educate communities to be more responsible with their waste and encourage reduce, reuse, and recycling. Our project hires from the communities we work in to allow the very communities generating waste to be part of the solution. We will be showing students how we collect and process waste, and what they can do to prevent waste from entering and polluting waterways and eventually the ocean. |
| Ecolotech | ATMOSPHERIC WATER Pure drinking water that is produced using a revolutionary technology that converts air into drinking water. Since natural groundwater sources or plumbing infrastructure is not used to produce atmospheric water, it is pure, free from chemicals, and delicious. |
| Nonthaburi Animal Welfare Alliance (NAWA) | Animal Adoptions and Care: We will be on hand to provide information about our efforts to reduce animal suffering in our community by sterilizing street animals, providing medical care, and fostering dogs and cats for adoption. This work makes our community safer and more humane for people and animals alike. We will also let students know about volunteer opportunities for both students and parents, which can be a great family bonding experience. Joining us will be some kittens and one senior dog who are looking for their forever homes and will be available for adoption.
