When there are good reasons to do something though, there is always a will and a way. Here are five simple and important reasons why you should start reducing your meat consumption.

The adage “The customer is always right” has always been contentious, but the principle has probably never been more contested in this post-pandemic world. It’s not news that businesses like restaurants have struggled to make ends meet in these past two years.

Keith Haring famously said that “Art is for everybody,”—a concept senior marketing and exhibition manager Toby Lu takes to heart as he plans River City Bangkok’s events and exhibitions. “Art is not a luxury product that most people cannot reach,” says Lu. “We want to make art tangible and accessible to everyone, especially in Thai society.”

This is precisely why River City Bangkok has so much to offer in terms of its range of art; it's where you can go to see more familiar styles of art, such as paintings and sculptures, but also where you might catch something like the “From Monet to Kandinsky”, a revolutionary immersive digital art experience River City Bangkok brought in a couple of years ago that bridged the gap between the classics and modern culture.

Marine scientist, Dr Suchana Chavanich inaugurates The Future List 100 dinner talk

04/10/2022

Dr Suchana Chavanich, a Sustainable Ocean Ambassador appointed by AFMA (Agricultural and Food Marketing Association for Asia and the Pacific) affiliated to UN FAO, and recipient of the 2018 Explorer Awards from National Geographic Thailand, gave a talk on the topic “Antarctica - the Last Frontier - and Challenges for Thailand” at a dinner talk hosted by The Future List 100, of which she is a 2022 honoree. She showed a short slide presentation of her trips to the Arctic and Antarctic to about 20 fellow Future Listers and their friends and colleagues. Among the stunning but thought-provoking images was one of a sleuth of polar bears on a grassy cliff. Exciting to see at first glance, it apparently shows show polar bears are being forced to adapt their eating habits, foregoing their favourite meal—seals—for a more vegan diet as a result of the melting ice floes. Their extinction is inevitable, she remarked sadly, and all we can do is delay the inevitable by changing our lifestyle even slightly.
