Khon Kaen
The Harmony hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 97 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 40 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, including native species selected by a local botanist. The area floods more each year, and fish have returned for the first time in a decade after our first cleanup. Restoring it will protect homes and bring back shade. All the labor is volunteered. We just need materials. We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted. Where the $500 goes: • Waste removal and skip hire: $140 • Signage and educational materials: $60 • Native saplings and stakes: $300 If you're reading this, thank you. - Napat

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Napat

    • Napat BunnagOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. waste removal and skip hire comes first ($140) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.

  • Olumide Yakubu Okafor
