As part of the Bangkok Design Week 2018, The COMMONS is organizing Not So Wasted!, a whole day dedicated to sustainability and food waste reduction. It’s a brand new year, so let’s do something good (and green) together!

When people think of theCOMMONS, the word 'design' usually comes to mind. And while one of our goals is to redefine the concept of community space through design, we also want to foster a better and healthier community. We have an on-going collaborating with Thai-SOS and Bangkok Soap Opera, including fun events like this one - to reduce food waste and raise awareness about sustainable living.

Go on, join the green side!
