25th April 2015 - Earth Day ResultsI

So Earth Day rubbish has been weighed and the money counted. 

It was amazing to see the Koh Tao community come together in this quest to cleanup the island and to raise the much needed funds for Chad's ongoing treatment.

The community of Koh Tao raised a monumental - 712,080 THB !!!!

This is made up from 278 divers on the cleanup dive, 2,688 raffle tickets, food and drinks raised 73,450 THB
Donations, including money raised for heads being shaved totaled 45,320 THB and the games raised 9,810 THB

A huge amount of rubbish was collected on the land cleanup, this was not weighed but the island is looking beautiful and clean and that is what is important.

The rubbish collected on the underwater cleanup totalled 1,254 kg of which Crystal/Eco Koh Tao collected 149.05kg

So a massive achievement for the environment, for the community and of course for Chad funding.

On another note, Simon finally received his Birthday package from Rosie ...it only took a few months to get here, but it was worth the wait :-D
