We held the final event of the Online Exchange Thai Program on December 15th. Following what they had learned about CO2 emissions and reducing carbon footprint, students from both Kasetsart University and Yamagata University worked in groups to make action plans.
Some YU students took charge in cleaning up rubbish and abandoned bicycles from around the campus. Others tried to encourage their fellow students to conserve energy by starting a “use the stairs” poster campaign.
Students from KU decided to reduce their personal carbon footprints by changing their eating habits or reducing their use of electronic appliances. One person recycled an egg carton and used it for growing vegetables. The students calculated their carbon emissions before and after, so their presentations were interesting and impactful.
Despite it being online, over the past seven months of international exchange, students have learned a lot of about the importance of reducing their carbon footprint. The students showed improvements in global awareness, English proficiency, and skills in giving presentations.
