Sochenda Aok, known as the "zero waste girl" is a young environmental content creator on a mission to inspire Cambodian citizens to adopt zero waste lifestyles.

With 100K followers on Facebook and 60K on TikTok, Sochenda has inspired a generation of young Cambodians to take environmental action in their personal lives. When I asked Cambodian youth who is their environmental role model, many (if not all) mentioned Sochenda and her media ZEROW!

ZEROW started as a way for Sochenda to explore and document all her zero waste actions, from bringing a pot to the market to buy a chicken to discovering Indigenous knowledge or testing all the low-carbon mobility options.

She gives us precious tips on how to grow an audience organically, her lessons learned along the way and all the other activities she's exploring, from in-person workshops and training to starting a zero waste refill station!

Sochenda was selected as Forbes Asia 30 Under 30 and received the ASEAN Youth Eco-Champion Award.

🇰🇭 Monorom Tchaw is the Founder of Compost City, a social enterprise focused on environmental education and making composting easy for everyone in Cambodia.

🌱 Growing up in the city, she shares her journey connecting with the soil, with the food we eat, with farmers and with all the natural resources used in our everyday life.

🪴 She goes through how she started building her first home composting kits based on her own needs, and how it eventually became Compost City after improving her initial prototype, year after year.

👨‍🌾 She proudly shares how Compost City’s mission is evolving from only compost awareness towards making people connect with the soil and the food we eat.

💡 Finally, we discuss her overall life philosophy guided by non-violent communication and how she’s not trying to tell people what to think, but instead tries to make people think.

This episode is also special because I’m co-hosting it with Linka Lin so you will hear 3 people, and it was also recorded on video, so switch to YouTube if you want to see our faces! :D
