I launched Koh Phangan’s public forum Phangan Forum in February after getting 500 responses to a post. On Earth Day, 22 April, 2021, we will hold our first program, a 3-hour event at Jaran’s.
We will use the TED format, all talks under 18 minutes, focused on one brilliant idea, artfully presented. A license application to TED for a TEDxKoh Phangan event in July is pending.
The theme of the event is focused on Koh Phangan’s ecological future:
How do we help keep our gorgeous island protected, pristine, and unpolluted? What are the rich eco-initiatives deserving attention and support? How do we live a life contributing to rather than despoiling Phangan’s natural beauty? Who are the eco-heroes doing the work, and how might we participate?
