Children’s books: “Bright Minds for a Brighter World”As one example of our CSR activities in ASEAN, Covestro and its partners launched coloring activity books called “Bright Minds for a Brighter World” with the purpose of educating Thai youth on the harmful effects of improper waste disposal on the environment.

Among Covestro’s partners for the project are the Research and Development Center on Education for Sustainable Development Innovations - Faculty of Education, Chulalongkorn University, the Science Centre for Education and the Federation of Thai Industries.

The book “Bright Minds for a Brighter World” comes in 2 versions that tells the adventure of “Young Guardians” with superpowers set out on a search for the root cause of trash problems. They find that the source of trash is human’s improper waste disposal and lack of environmental awareness. The story ends with an illustration of correct ways to dispose of waste, including classification knowledge as well as recycling, reducing and re-using process.

The books was distributed through many schools nationwide. Covestro employee volunteers also visited the neighboring schools of its sites in the country to engage directly with the school kids.
