(VOVWORLD) - Approximately 200 volunteers are collecting rubbish in Hong (Red) River area and Long Bien Bridge in Hanoi this weekend.
Collected trash will be categorized and used in scientific research on environmental protection. |
The clean-up, supported by the EU Delegation and Keep Hanoi Clean organization, is as part of the European Climate Diplomacy Weeks 2019. Volunteers are joined by Ambassador-Head of EU Delegation to Vietnam Giorgio Aliberti and his staff.
Volunteer Nguyen Thuy Hien said: “This is a great event which attracts a large number of young people. They can promote the clean-up to their relatives and friends. After this, I will actively respond a ‘zero waste’, a campaign to reduce the use of plastic waste, and ask my friends to do the same.”
In the clean-up campaign, residential areas will be provided with trash bins and each family will take turn to bring the bins to public locations where garbage can be collected.
