Day 2

Today we have to go to survey the waste problems of Koh Tao in many places. In the morning, we have breakfast at resort restaurant. The food that orders, it doesn't have to fry so no oil usage and less energy produce. It is just a toast and sausage in this meal. 

After that, the first place that we start to survey is the main harbour, there are some wastes were left on the pathway such as plastic bag, water bottle, and food scraps. Some of them are flow on the clean water which makes polluted water and impact those fishes that live around.



At the main harbour, some waste were left on the floor which is not good for environment

under the clear water, there are many things that people throw away
and some food was flow on the water.

Next area is Haad Sairee which is the place that lots of tourists stay and there are many resorts, pubs and bars along the beach. Because of each resorts has cleaned their own area so the beach look quite clean but there are still some ash of cigarette on the sand.

Last place to survey is the garbage factory on the hill. First thing that can be seen is a mountain of garbage, some of them are sorted out to be the same type, and some are packed get ready for sale such as beer bottle. But there is some garbage that has to destroy by burning which can releases toxic smoke in the air. This is very harmful for environment, it creates the bad environment of island and result in global warming. Even landfills also make soils become toxic. 



Big amount of waste from everywhere in koh tao were gathered into this plac,
increasing everyday and just few tons of waste were eliminated.

Power station emitting carbon smoke into the air.

On the way getting down from the mountain, there is a power station which we can see lots of black smoke emits from the smokestack. The smoke comes from burning to generate the electricity to be used in the whole island so the smoke makes air pollution. After that we get back to resort, and we choose to eat som tum which is simple process and does not create any bad for environment.
