A group of young volunteers formed in 2019 that in 2023 registered as an association with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, the first youth-led environmental group to do so according to the press and the organisation itself. It runs composting and anti-burning workshops with residents, a climate programme in schools and a campaign at the That Luang festival. Its board was elected with ministry delegates present and it lives on donor funding; the latest data is from November 2023.
