(HBO) – Youngsters from the northern province of Hoa Binh have been actively engaging in the Green Sunday campaign which aims to raise public awareness of environmental protection.
Youths in Hung Thi
commune (Lac Thuy district) respond to Green Sunday.
The movement has helped enhance awareness of locals, agencies,
organisations and businesses about the need to protect the environment and
promote the civilised lifestyle. It also contributes to addressing environmental
pollution, overcoming natural disaster consequences, and coping with climate
change, in both urban and rural areas.
The campaign also encourages young people to
join in the building of new-style rural areas and civilised urban areas.
As a start of the Youth Month 2020 under the
theme "Young people volunteer and promote creativity for the community”, youth
unions across the province launched the Green Sunday event on the first day of
March with numerous activities such as planting trees and collecting garbage
along local roads.
During the day, local youth unions planted nearly 10,000 trees,
completed 26 projects on planting flower and trees along local roads, cleaned
up 47 historical relic sites, war martyrs’ cemeteries and memorial sites, removing
advertisements along 12 urban roads, collecting over 100 cu.m of garbage and
cleaned 52 sections of canals.
Youth unions also set up 30 voluntary groups to
raise public awareness about the COVID-19 epidemics by distributing nearly
2,000 leaflets, 1,000 face masks and 500 soap bars to locals.
The Green Sunday event was held amid the
complicated developments of the COVID-19 epidemic, so the launch ceremony was
not held, and participants in activities were given face masks, gloves and
sanitizer.
Young people in the province engage in cleaning-up activities every
Sunday in response to the campaign. The campaign aims to increase awareness of
youngsters in environmental protection, promotion of cultural values, and
formation of civilised lifestyle in urban and rural areas./.
