Communities throughout Thailand are working together to fight industrial pollution. From mountainous Mae Mah in the
north to coastal Bangsaphan, communities are taking a stand for a clean
and healthy environment.
With the help of Global Community
Monitor and our local partner organization EARTH (Ecological Alert and
Recovery-Thailand), villagers are using the bucket methodology to
monitor for toxic gases and particulates. The data from the Bucket has
helped them win increased regulation, victories in court and even relocation. Now the fight is moving to the next
level as members of the Thai national parliament begin to get involved
by proposing tougher regulations and stricter government oversight over
industry.
