The Green Leaf Foundation of Thailand has launched a
campaign to encourage people to help reduce carbon emissions into the
atmosphere to 350 parts per million (ppm) from the current 392 ppm, the
amount that is said to be rising by about 2 parts per million every
year. The campaign, “350 Bike More, Walk More” says it all about urging
people to use the bike or walk, especially when the situation allows,
instead of driving their car to help in the fight against global
warming.
Prawes Akanimart accepts the resort’s recognition as
a Health Promotion Smoke-Free Hotel from Dr. Yodmani.
As a long-time member of the environmental
organization, Dusit Thani Pattaya was the first hotel under its wing to
raise awareness on the campaign significance among its staff and
management.
In another development, the five-star resort was once
again recognized for its effort in promoting better health to its guests
while staying at the hotel. Prawes Akanimart, president of the hotel’s
Green Leaf Committee accepted the award from Green Leaf Foundation
president Dr. Suwit Yodmani. The hotel has received several recognitions
in the past for its continued allocation of more than 75% of its total
room inventory as smoke-free accommodation.
During ceremonies held in Bangkok, the foundation’s
vice-president, Asst. Prof. Jiraphol Sindhunava spoke on the ongoing
initiatives that Green Leaf Foundation is doing and thanked Dusit Thani
Pattaya for its support in all their environmental programs including
the 350 ppm campaign.
Dusit Thani Pattaya staff and management show support
to the
“Bike More, Walk More” campaign to help reduce carbon
emissions
from the current level to a safer 350 ppm.
