SPRC supports the event by having volunteer employees attend and providing a budget of 300,000 baht for the waste management.”
As a carbon neutral event, the campaign was derived from several activities and events fighting against the greenhouse gas emissions that are the major cause of global warming. With the awareness of world communities, guidelines to solve the global warming effect were created under the theme of “Low Carbon Society.”
SPRC encourages people to use natural resources wisely through various cultural development activities, including reducing usage of private cars, using environment-friendly materials, reducing pollution in the environment from activities, and others. This promotes reduction of energy consumption both directly and indirectly and leads to a sustainable Low Carbon Society.
