Deputy Bangkok governor Jumpon Sampaopol and the Thai Environmental and Community Development Association recently announced details of a “Clean Bangkok” campaign to run next week.
Jumpon says the campaign will educate locals on how to organize and reuse their home garbage in order to decrease the amount of waste each year. On the weekend of Oct. 11-13, residents of all 50 Bangkok districts are encouraged to clean the roads in front of their home.
On Oct. 11, 40,000 officers of the “Bangkok cleaning team” will help locals clean their roads and footpath. He said he believes the campaign will help raise awareness and encourage Bangkok netizens to care more about the environment and cleanness of their home, the Daily News reported.
The Thai Environmental and Community Development Association is known for its slightly silly environmental mascot Magic Eyes.
