Us And Forest is a student-led organisation

Founded by Ploydee in Year 13 since August 2019, Us And Forest is a student-led organisation consisting of 7 Year 13 students and 1 Year 12 student. The organisation aims to sell T-shirts in order to raise awareness about the burning of the Amazon rainforest earlier in 2019 and the importance of conserving the rainforest itself. 100% of the profit raised will also be donated to different international organisations: Rainforest Alliance, Amazon Watch and TeamTrees. 

The Amazon rainforest produces over 20% of the world’s oxygen, so conserving it is a large priority and its continuous burning is one of the major global issues as of now. With climate change increasing at a greater rate every day, the students realised that it has come to the point where simply spreading awareness of the situation would not be enough to sustain this planet, which inspired them to start doing something bigger. As of 2nd December 2019, the students have managed to raise 40172 THB in a span of 3 months. 

They have an Instagram account “usandforest” where you can find more information about what they are doing and they have even managed to get marketing photos with celebrities. These are true leaders in the making.
