Imagine this… If you throw away a plastic bottle
or a plastic bag,
0:00:09 and it ends up in our oceans.
0:00:11 Who’s going to clean it up?
0:00:16 We cycle to deliver our products every morning.
0:00:18 Once our customers finish the juice,
0:00:21 we go back to collect the containers the next day.
0:00:27 I was a packaging designer.
0:00:29 And I found out that the more materials we use for
packaging,
0:00:34

the more trash we create.
0:00:37 And in the end it all ends up in a trash can anyway.

Around 8 million tonnes of
plastic ends up in our oceans
every year.
0:00:45
Thailand is one of the top ten
countries responsible for this.
0:00:49 No matter how good the bottle is,
0:00:52 if it’s a plastic bottle,
0:00:54 it will just end up as more trash.
0:00:58 That’s why we use glasses like this.
0:01:01 And the best part is they are reusable.
0:01:06 By using glasses, we managed to cut down
0:01:09 around 70,000 to 80,000 plastic containers each
year.
0:01:16 The aim of this business is to set an example of an
environmentally concerned business,
0:01:25 which leaves as little carbon footprint as possible,
while benefits others, especially the environment.
0:01:32 The environment is what’s surrounding us.
0:01:35 We cannot turn a blind eye. Everything will come
back to us.
0:01:41 What you dump into the oceans, the fish will eat it.
0:01:44 The plastic you throw away will break into tiny
pieces and small fish will eat those.
0:01:48 And we know Then, the big fish will eat those
small fish
0:01:50 and in the end, you will eat that fish. It’s a cycle.
0:01:54 I think not many people know about the impact of
their actions.
0:02:00 I believe that if they did, they would change their
behaviors.
0:02:04 If everyone looks at the bigger picture and think
more about the environment,
0:02:09 everyone would want to reduce the amount of
trash they produce.
0:02:12 I never get tired.
0:02:15 I believe that if we do good things everyday,
0:02:17 there will be more meanings to our lives, as well as
to others.
0:02:21 And that’s very important.
