snoop1130 12,668 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Fund launched to promote recycled garbage collection in Mae Hong Son By Tossapol Boonpat The Nation Mae Hong Son's Pai District Office has organised a funeral assistance fund, requiring members to recycle garbage in a bid to tackle the northern tourist city's garbage problem. District chief Sangkhom Khatchiangsaen and Pai Red Cross head Wilawan Khatchiangsaen and officials, inspected the garbage-separating project on Friday. The "recycle garbage" funeral assistance fund requires a member to sell recycle garbage three times and to have at least Bt200 in the account before they are entitled to a funeral assistance payment. To maintain membership and entitlement to financial aid, a member must sell recycled garbage at least once a month. The unique fund, to motivate local people to participate in selling and recycling garbage, was established after a Buddhist forest robe merit making ceremony was held on June 8 by civil servants, tourist business people, local residents and schools. Seven tonnes of recycled garbage was collected.
