This Sunday 9th August the Beach Heroes are leaving their bucket and spades at home, and will be meeting at the Pump House on Soi 102 at 4pm.

All Heroes, old and new welcome. No experience necessary.

There will be an exciting away day for the Clean Up Heroes tomorrow. Rather than try to explain the experience, the following is from their own page:

This Sunday, the 9th of August, we will join our friends in Pak Nam Pran in the morning to clean the Pranburi River.

It is an amazing experience, but you will get wet and dirty while picking up trash, water hyacinths and branches from the water and the river banks.

It most probably will get really hot in the sunshine and on the river. So, take care of yourself with sunblock, a hat (cover), maybe long sleeve shirt etc.

Departure from Hua Hin: 07.30 am
The event starts at 08.00 am
Lunch: will be provided by the organizer BUT PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN CUP AND FOOD CONTAINER.
We will get back to HH around 13:00-14:00.

Gathering point, Hua Hin Bike Tours: https://www.google.com/maps/place/12%C2 ... 99.9709876

FYI: there will be no regular clean up in the afternoon of the 9th. We will be knackered by then.

Trash Heroes are building a team:

We need a team!
If you have free time, just 2-3 hours a week (more is great!), let's join our organising team.

If you're interested please read below.

The Trash Hero mission is to bring communities together to clean and reduce waste. We do this through:

Action and Awareness.
We pick up trash. Whether a cigarette butt on the sand, or 2000 km from a beach – if we see it, we clean it! And we motivate others to do the same. By spending a few hours together picking up trash, people gain a profound understanding of the consequences of being careless about waste.

Education.
We actively engage children through our multilingual kids’ programme, connecting environmental values with hands-on experience of the impact that trash has on the local and global environment. Adults also learn experientially, backed up with information and workshops provided by our volunteers.

Sustainable Projects.
We create long-term programmes that help communities to reduce and better manage existing waste, and strategies that will prevent future waste.

Inspiration.
We motivate people to become Trash Heroes in their everyday lives. With consistently positive messaging, and a philosophy of “small steps”, we remove the barriers to change. Participants have gone on to make their own heroic cleanups around the world.
We abide by the following principles:

Be positive: we focus on solutions (not problems), the future (not the past) and on what is going well (not what is wrong or who is to blame).

Be inclusive and neutral: we work independently, bringing communities together for one mission that benefits all.
Show, don’t tell. Repeat: we lead by example, taking small easy steps which, when multiplied, can result in great change. With regular actions, the change becomes lasting.

Think global, act local: our local chapters are the life-force of our movement. Trash Hero World provides training, support and materials but all activities are community-driven.

Be transparent: our local chapters don’t take or make money through their activities. All programmes are run by volunteers and costs are covered by donations in kind (goods and services) from local sponsors, and any products are sold at cost, with publicly available receipts.

We hope to have you in our team to help cleaning the earth!

This coming Sunday 23 August, the Beach Heroes will be returning for a 2nd consecutive week to a meeting area near the Pattaya Ferry Terminal on South Takiab Beach at 4pm.

All Heroes, both old and new will be welcomed. No experience necessary. Please bring your own gloves and wear mask.

This coming Sunday 23rd August from 8am until 11am the Clean Up Heroes are doing something a little different this week i.e.:

Picking up trash in public community areas is a good thing.; However, it does not solve the problem at its source. If we want to move closer to the root of all the waste we create, we should try and look at the trash in specific categories. Such as plastic food bags/packages, paper, cans, but also food waste/scraps.

This week, instead of picking trash on the street, we will be making our own food waste compost boxes. Hua Hin Municipality has invited them to join their workshop to create compostable food waste boxes. This box is designed to be suitable for many living spaces including small condominiums.

What you need to bring:
- A Plastic box with lid of about 40 litres or slightly bigger;
- We will provide other materials needed.

At the end of the workshop, you will have your own compost box to take home and use right away.

Meeting Point: Sila Ake (near Cornerstone Church)
Meeting Time: 8:00 AM
