Having experienced the impacts of waste on coral reefs and marine areas firsthand on his diving trips around the world, He decided that it was time to become part of the solution. James has embraced the challenge of dealing with the massive volume of plastics and waste in Bangkok’s heavily polluted canal system. Together with local community leaders, government officials, and the recycling expertise of TerraCycle, James and his team have been able to launch one of the most effective and efficient canal and river cleanup operations anywhere. They are now working to expand their project to other canals and waterways beyond Thailand and throughout Southeast Asia.
