Talking trash in Yangon | Phone Kyaw Moe Myint | TEDxYangon

Yangon has a trash problem. The world, in fact, has a trash problem. Sportsman Phone Kyaw Moe Myint started cleaning up lakes and the beaches due to his love for the sport of sailing. He makes a powerful, passionate and informative call on how all of us can become responsible global citizens and do our part in protecting the environment.
Phone Kyaw Moe Myint has a great passion for the water and water sports. As a former national sailor with a career highlight that consists of two Southeast Asian Gold Medals, he spent a majority of his life competing all over the world, promoting and advocating the sport of sailing within the region. He is currently the Vice President of the Myanmar Yachting Federation and oversees daily operations from building youth development programs to managing the national team. He has also brought other water sports such as Kite-boarding, surfing, and the popular Stand Up Paddle to the country in the hopes of building a national surf team to compete in international stage. In the middle of 2016, he became the founder and country coordinator of Trash Hero Myanmar. The goal of Trash Hero is to clean, educate and change people's behaviour and mindset of trash disposal by turning everyday volunteers to become heroes and be a part of regular clean up operation within the country.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

It's depressing but a lot of people just don't care! :( If everyone did as much as they could then we may be able to reduce the amount we put in but the opposite seems to be happening.
