In 2014, Romtham Khumnurak -- a student at the Faculty of Liberal Arts, Thammasat University (TU) -- enrolled in TU 100 Civic Engagement, which required students to observe TU's waste management system. After Romtham saw a large stinky garbage pile there, it dawned on him that everyone is involved in the waste issue. Five years later, Romtham and five other colleagues established an environmental online media, Environman, which currently has more than 564,000 followers and is available on several platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
"Before I went to see TU's waste management system, I was not interested in environmental issues. However, after I saw the garbage pile, I realised that there was trash from me in that pile. After that, I came across many environmental issues such as plastic and air pollution. I later changed my behaviour and began to use less electricity and water, reduced waste and reduced meat consumption. I believe that knowledge can lead to sustainable change, so I want to make environmental content accessible to everyone," said Romtham, co-founder and content director of Environman.
