(ေအာက္မွာျမန္မာလိုပါေသးတယ္ေနာ္) Another micro project we’re running is bokashi in a nunnery in Yangon. These nuns (one of them is Inda’s sister) live in a rural area and cook much of their own food. So they have organic mterial to take care of and hopefully soon a garden to use it in!

Why is bokashi so important?

Bokashi checkup at Chu Chu
(ေအာက္မွာျမန္မာလိုပါေသးတယ္ေနာ္ ) Three or four weeks ago we were out at Chu Chu, an entrepreneurial design and recycling business on the “other side” of Yangon, on a sandy lane in Dala. They have already started cleaning up plastic waste from the street and next step is to sort the organics and use it to makeContinue reading “Bokashi checkup at Chu Chu”
Corn cobs: not trash!
(ေအာက္မွာျမန္မာဘာသာနဲ့လည္းပာတယ္ေနာ္) Whatever you cook or eat or sell or buy that’s food-related generates some form of trash. But while plastic really is super-trash, corn cobs are not. Nor the soft yellow leaves that protect them, nor the cobs that no one eats.
Soil not oil
ေအာက္မွာျမန္မာလိုပါတယ္ေနာ So many things can be recycled! Even oil barrels. Think how cool it would be to make recycled soil in these, from unwanted organic waste, and grow something beautiful. It’s easy enough to do.

Cows chewing on plastic
ေအာက္မွာျမန္မာလိုပါတယ္ေနာ္ It’s hard to imagine anything more tragic than cows chewing their way through piles of plastic waste in the hope of finding some food. In the end they do find some, of course, but their life would be a whole lot easier if the waste was separated from the start. Plastics, recyclables, cow food,Continue reading “Cows chewing on plastic”
We’re making Bokashi bran
(ေအာက္မွာျမန္မာလိုပါတယ္ေနာ္ We’re making bokashi bran! Admittedly it’s only a test production but it seems like we’re on the right track. It looks and smells as it should after a few weeks in the barrel and that’s a good start.
Cartons have a value
(ေအာက္မွာျမန္မာလိုပါေသးတယ္ေနာ္) Recycling, Myanmar style. Cardboard has a value, so it’s collected. Food and other organic waste has no value, so it’s not collected. But organic waste, in our opinion, is gold — soil for the present, food for the future. Bokashi will make a difference, and it’s probably way easier than we think. /Jenny PsContinue reading “Cartons have a value”
