Mekong River Trash Campaign by Isara
Posted By Alec on May 18, 2010
I have blogged before about Isara and the excellent work they do, but their latest project is truly inspirational – a plan to clean up the Mekong River. They plan to travel down the Mekong River from its highest point upstream in Thailand all the way down to where it leaves Thailand in the south, and maybe even through Cambodia and on to where it meets the sea. Along the way, they will stop at the many towns and villages on either side of the river and educate people about the benefits of keeping the river clean and free from trash.
An amazing project in itself, I’m sure you would agree, but more than this, they also plan to design and build an eco friendly boat in which to make the journey !
Check out the following thread on the Isara forum for full details of this fantastic project: http://www.isara.org/forum/environment/mekong-river-trash-campaign
It is rare to find individuals who devote themselves to such causes with dedication as the people at Isara do. I think that Nong Khai is very lucky to have them in our community.
