About Us
Sang means light in Sanskrit and in Thai
In the quest for a cleaner and greener globe and a crystal clear ocean, 'Sang' is literally translated as 'light' in Thai, and will continue to ignite the creation of love and care for our beloved mother earth for the generations to come.
The Sang Foundation was created to raise public awareness that plastic waste is now at a critical level and more and more marine animals are painfully dying because of our addiction to plastic. We are here to spread the message that this does not need to happen - there are alternatives to plastic.
What does the Sang foundation logo mean?
The Sang foundation logo is designed with 20 beams of light surrounding the word Sang designed in Sanskrit styled letters.
Committee
Mutsumi Adachi
Mutsumi is the founder of the Sang Foundation, which she founded after operating the holistic center Omroom in Bangkok.
Mutsumi realized that healing an individual cannot adequately shift the paradigm. Humans cannot be happy if other beings are suffering from an imbalance in the natural world and ongoing climate destruction.
Only by doing the ground work of helping people and animals as well as educating the young generation on how to live in harmony with Mother Earth, will we find key to our problems.

Volunteers
Victoria
I have been trying to live a lifestyle using fewer plastics with great success, practicing the 5R’s: Refuse, Rethink, Reduce, Recycle, and Repurpose in my everyday life for the past two years. I added the 6th R (rot) in August 2018; yes, composting fruit and vegetable scraps to reduce waste and provide free organic fertilizer for my garden.
My journey was not an easy task but with strong commitment, consistency, concern, consciousness, and cause, I did it. Share your thoughts of environmental awareness lifestyles with family and friends and it will become a domino effect. The results are exponential. Take action now, join us living life use less plastic.
