  • How a monk and a Hippo joined forces to tackle Bangkok’s plastic pollution

    How a monk and a Hippo joined forces to tackle Bangkok’s plastic pollution
    Desperate to restore the Chao Praya River to a pristine state, an abbot in the Thai capital began recycling in his temple. Now he has a floating ally in his efforts to clean up the river.

    The Chao Phraya River is the largest waterway flowing through central Thailand.

    In Bangkok, it is an artery for a network of water buses, ferries and wooden long-tail boats. But it's not just carrying people. According to research by the Rotterdam-based non-profit organisation Ocean Cleanup, the Chao Praya River carries 4,000 tonnes of plastic waste to the sea every year.

    Seven Clean Seas founder, Tom Peacock-Nazil (black shirt), and Phra Mahapranom Dhammalangkaro, the abbot, take part in a ribbon cutting ceremony on The HIPPO project on the day of its launch on the Chao Phraya River next to Wat Chak Daeng on July 30, 2024 in Bangkok. The HIPPO project by Seven Clean Seas, in collaboration with Wat Chak Daeng temple, uses a solar-powered vessel to collect plastic waste from Bangkok's Chao Phraya River and recycles it to reduce environmental pollution. Phra Mahapranom Dhammalangkaro, the abbot, leads a project at Wat Chak Daeng that turns plastic waste into monk robes, upcycling around 40 tons of plastic since 2015 and serving as a model for environmental conservation.

    'Honey-child, listen to me': a radical Buddhist nun on how to be happy in a crazy world.
    From a Catholic convent school in Melbourne to death row in America, Robina Courtin has learned a few things about happiness, suffering ... and Donald Trump.

    'Our problem is we think the outside world is the main cause of our suffering - and our happiness,' says Buddhist nun Robina Courtin.

    Since she was ordained, 44 years ago, Courtin has worked as an editor of Buddhist magazines and books. In 1996, after receiving a letter from a young Mexican American former gangster serving three life sentences in a maximum security prison in California, she founded the Liberation Prison Project, a nonprofit that offers Buddhist teachings and support to people in prison.

    Robina Courtin is a Buddhist nun in the Tibetan Buddhist Gelugpa tradition and lineage of Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche. In 1996 she founded the Liberation Prison Project, which she ran until 2009.
