Beach clean-ups have become a popular activity as part of humanity’s ‘bid to save the planet’. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people glob­ally participate in ridding the shores of plastic. The activity is a campaign for plastic pollu­tion awareness, but how beneficial is it to the environment itself?

Have you ever encountered an unhappy gar­dener? Not often, I would guess. Gardening is a positive, enriching and even therapeu­tic activity.

Politics is cyclic. History advises us that a stretch of stable, middle-ground government gives way to an era of discontent and unrest. From a status quo of sociopolitical com­promise and less dominant leadership comes the emergence of more extreme factions and outsiders from both the far left and right, creating a wider and more divided political landscape. It all makes for a bumpy ride.

Phuket non-profit turning the tide on plastic with reusable bottles and youth education
Saturday 22 June 2019, 02:00PM
Many of us will remember the moment we ‘woke up’ to plastic pollution. For millions of viewers of BBC documentary mini-series Blue Planet II, it was an al­batross unwittingly feeding plastic to its young. For oth­ers, it was the powerful viral image of a seahorse off the coast of Indonesia car­rying a cotton ear bud, its tail wrapped tightly around the plastic tube.

Maya Bay has hardly been out of local and even international headlines recently. Whether it’s conflicting reports of just how long it’s to remain closed, viral videos of schools of blacktip reef sharks returning to the area or op-eds praising Thailand for prioritising corals over cash, it certainly feels like the eyes of the world are on the small bay on Ko Phi Phi Le.

Green Thoughts: Tools of the Gardening Trade
Sunday 14 April 2019, 03:00PM
Gardening has always been a time-honoured craft, and the tools of the craft reflect that patience in practice.
