TalkTrash.org New Website
Yesterday we launched our new “Think Before You Throw” website, which you’re viewing right now. 
The site will have regular updates of the campaign’s progress down the Mekong River. In case you’re curious, the domain name is TalkTrash.org because ThinkBeforeYouThrow.org was already taken. 
Until the rain clears, and we can get back down to the boat for final preparations, we’re taking this time to prepare promotional materials for the “Think Before You Throw” campaign. Since I’ll be stopping at towns along the way, and visiting schools, we want to make sure that we have things to show the people we’ll be visiting. Many of the people won’t be able to see the boat so we’ll be taking some laminated photos to show them. The photos will be of trash along the river, the boats construction, and also the previous campaigns we’ve done for the environment. Hopefully we’ll be able to motivate people to do more in their local area to help keep their environment clean.
While on the river, we have a recorded audio message (in both Thai and Lao languages) that will be playing on a continuous loop. Loud speakers mounted on the back of the boat will make it possible for everyone within a 500 meter area to hear our message. The message will simply encourage people to stop throwing trash on the river and ground, to reuse and recycle more, and to help the environment be clean.
Stay tuned…
