The pollution in Bangkok has reached crisis levels. People are being told stay indoors, schools have been closed, and employees are being told to work from home. Thailand is now ranked one of the worst countries in the world for air quality, the health of many is being severely affected, and ultimately the situation is lowering the life expectancy of 70 million Thai people. But why is this happening and what can we do about it? On tonight's episode we speak to Friso Poldervaart and Greg Lange, founders of Bangkok Community Help Foundation. They give us the context to understand this complex situation, the current state of pollution in Thailand, and possible solutions moving forward.
