Responsible Disposal
Jitsen Green Zhabto brings young people, institutions and community volunteers together to care for Bhutan’s natural environment.
Our first signature initiative will protect an approved stretch of Wang Chhu through safe clean-up, responsible waste segregation and a continuing commitment to environmental service.
On 13 October 2026, Bhutan commemorates fifteen years since the Royal Wedding of Their Majesties The King and The Gyaltsuen.
His Majesty King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and Her Majesty Queen Jetsun Pema Wangchuck were married on 13 October 2011 at Punakha Dzong.
The occasion has since provided an inspiration for Bhutan. This community initiative honours the enduring example of compassion, unity and service.
Volunteers will work in supervised teams along an approved riverbank zone. Collected waste will be separated, weighed and transferred through the authorised waste-management process.
