FOBISIA STUDENT ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE 2022 BANGKOK PREP Food for thought! Bangkok Prep Environmental Conference Team On Tuesday 26th April, 2022, Bangkok Prep International School hosted this year’s FOBISIA Student Environmental Conference at the Secondary School - Sukhumvit 77 Campus. The focus of the conference was on the environmental impact of sustainably growing plants and crops. It was fabulous to see 8 international schools from Bangkok, Pattaya and Rayong taking part (in person) in a FOBISIA conference. Bangkok Prep, Rugby School Thailand, Denla British School, Singapore International School of Bangkok, St Andrews 107, Shrewsbury International School Bangkok, St Andrews 71, and Garden School (Rayong) all took part. The conference opened with 5 keynote speakers who have already developed very successfully environmentally focused businesses in Thailand. A huge thank you to Paleo Robbie, Happy Grocer, Laika, Root the Future and Chul Farm. These distinguished guest speakers shared their same passion and eco philosophy which gave us all food for thought! We should all think very carefully about what we put into our bodies; where does it come from and consider what we do with our waste.
The participants used the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the respective environmental impact of growing plants and crops. The discussions that followed inspired the students to plan projects at their schools which will address local and global environmental issues. 22
