The municipality has plans for a Green Office with the following activities:
1. Advocating to decrease energy use in the work building
There is a policy for employees to help conserve energy and a policy to change important elecetronics such as switching to a level 5 energy efficient air conditioner, switching to LED light. This will decrease energy use by 1,500 units or an estimated 10,000 Baht per month.
2. Green procurement
The goal for this is clear that there will only be procurements and outsourcing from organizations that are environmentally friendly. The municipality is able to have 18,418 units or 98.71% of products and services be environmentally friendly. There has been a record from 2011-2013.
3. Using a multi-purpose solution produced by the community in place of chemically mixed products such as bathroom cleaning solution, hand soap and dish washing soap. The building used to have these chemically mixed solutions but now, there was a switch to organic mixtures made 100% from herbs such as kaffir lime, lemon, and star apple. This is also used as a source of additional income for those who are low-income earning.

Since most of the waste in the municipality is biodegradable, there was a seminar on how to convert fresh food waste through microbial fermentation and repurpose as everyday products such as shampoo, dish-washing soap, liquid soap, multi-purpose chemical and use these products in place of commercial products. The goal is to decrease the amount of organic waste, reduce the use of chemicals and costs while generating additional income while creating a sense of community by working together to improve the environment. The municipality also wishes to conserve traditional Thai culture of using herbs by gathering a group of members from the 12 community to establish a group called "Save the Earth" which has 60 members. The group is able to reduce organic waste by 500 kg per month and generate 5000 Baht in income from selling these products from herbs. More over, the community is able to come together 15 days a month which creates a sense of unity in the community. The funds from the product sales is used as working capital, organize activities that improves the environment and other purposes that benefit the community and municipality.

The municipality manager set a goal to increase the amount of green space per person to 5 sq m per person in 2009 to 7 sq m per person in 2011 and 9 sq m per person by 2016. In order to do so, the following activities are being implemented: 1) survey and record large trees throughout the municipality, in the community, schools, private land, and public land. 2) Develop the 4 acre of empty land into a green space for the municipality by partnering with Big Tree. 3) Estimate the amount of carbon sequestered by the trees and green space in the municipality. 4) Organize a meeting about conservation and tree survey for children, students and work together to record and make tree species signs. Currently, there are 969 trees in the record with a calculated 85.49 tons of CO2 sequestered. Roughly 2000 trees are in the process of getting recorded and the current green space per person is 7.34 sq m. ขนาด ไร่ เป็น เอเคอร์

Roughly 30 years ago, the Department of Public Works and Town Planning built a pipe to collect the wastewater as well as a treatment plant. However, the system became worn-out and has not been in operation for 10 years. This caused the untreated wastewater to go directly into the canal which affected the environment in the commnity and the water quality in the canal for 5 km. The manager of the municipality started this project by surveying and designing details on how to improve the efficiency of the collection of wastewater in the municipality with the goal of restoring the wastewater treatment system. The system will be able to treat 5000 m3 of wastewater of the 34000 m3 that is produced per day.
