We have created the projects listed below as project proposals as part of an international project call.

Regional allocation:
Southeast Asia, Thailand
(Other countries will follow as soon as therefor the budget is available.)

Short version:

Establishment of a central planning, coordination and implementation office for nature and environmental measures (especially for plastic waste problems) in S/E Asia.
Tasks of the office: Planning, coordination and implementation of the individual regional nature and environmental protection measures (the individual projects).

Project WNEP#01.01 (We have already started to implement this project.)
Working title: “Goodbye Plastic-Bags”
In coordination with regional and national supermarket chains:
Replacement of pastic bags with new (reusable) shopping bags.

The bags are variable in color and printable (for example with advertising).
The concept has already been tested (in Europe).

Working title: “Waste separation, right at the time of collection”
Improved waste collection in public areas (especially separate collection of empty glass and plastic beverage bottles).

Project WNEP#01.04
Working title: “Raising awareness of children and their parents on issues of nature and environmental protection”
Under the project title “My Environment and Me” (working title), schoolchildren should be invited to participate in a national competition, the content of which is to send in photos/drawings (by email or by uploading to a website, to be decided) show what you can do or already do to improve the current natural and environmental situation (especially with a view to the current plastic waste situation).
As part of this competition, it should also be proposed to send in photos/drawings of ideas and signs/plaques that point to the current problem with plastic waste – and show the possible solutions.
The best entries will be awarded. Bonuses, for example: bicycles (first prices), school supplies (further prices).
Such an action inevitably results in:

– creating incentives for own practical measures
