Go Green, Your Way

#Pkobchallenge

Meet P'Kob

P'Kob (Anunta Intra-aksorn), a Thai artist and former design professor, has been synonymous with sustainable living for over two decades. After seeing first-hand the severe impacts of natural disaster to human life, she has completely reshaped her way of life — replacing harmful products with cleaner alternatives and using art to connect people to nature.

Though she has fully committed to this transition, she understands that her practices may not be suitable for everyone. We all have different needs and are walking different journeys.

Are you a P'Kob or someone who wants to be like P'Kob? Do you carry a water bottle everywhere, use wooden utensils or take public transportation instead of driving?

Many believe that living sustainably can be difficult and expensive - but it doesn't have to be. We can all become eco-friendly in our own way without breaking the bank.

Don't believe us?

Why this matters to Sidekick

Sidekick believes that when we put people at the center of what we do, the right solutions always follow.

As a social impact design studio, we work with people (like P'Kob) who understand the issue first-hand; they can help us design products, campaigns, and services that resonate and engage the community into action. People like P'Kob continue to inspire us - and we hope that her story can also inspire you to go green, your way!

Get involved!
