HBO - The Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union – Hoa Binh chapter and the Hoa Binh electricity company on March 30 joined hands to organise an art programme in response to the 2019 Earth Hour, which focused on environmental protection and energy saving, calling on people to switch off electricity devices from 8.30pm to 9.30pm.

Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Hoa Binh province Bui Van Cuu places his fingerprint as the first one to join the Earth Hour event.

During the programme, along with performances by local schools, the organisers urged local residents, agencies, units and families to use energy economically. Local authorities, members of the HCYU – Hoa Binh chapter and people together placed their fingerprints to show commitments in energy saving and environmental protection, then turned off the lights.
