Environmental protection measures

1. Limit or reuse plastic bags & plastic items

Reducing or reusing plastic bags and plastic items is an important measure to protect the environment. Plastic bags and plastic items do not decompose naturally and create a lot of plastic waste. When we limit the use of plastic bags and plastic items, we reduce the amount of plastic waste and environmental pollutionInstead, we can use reusable cloth bags and items made from environmentally friendly materials such as wood, recycled paper, or glass. This helps to minimize negative impacts on the environment and protect natural resources.

2. Reuse recyclable items

Reusing recyclable items is a great way to reduce waste and protect the environment. Instead of throwing things away, we can find ways to reuse them or turn them into new items. For example, we can recycle plastic bottles into items such as plant pots, water bottles, or decorations. We can also recycle paper, cardboard boxes, or fabrics into other items such as containers, bags, or recycled clothing. By reusing recyclable items, we not only reduce waste but also save resources and help protect the environment.

3. Prioritize the use of available clean energy sources

Using clean energy sources such as solar, wind, hydropower and biofuels not only helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions but also saves natural resources. Prioritizing the use of clean energy sources also means limiting the use of polluting energy sources such as coal and oil. The Vietnamese government has introduced many policies to encourage the use of clean energy and invest in renewable energy projects to protect the environment and promote sustainable development.

4. Planting and caring for trees

Planting and caring for trees is an important activity to protect the environment and create a clean living space for the community. Trees not only provide oxygen and absorb CO2, but also help reduce temperature, create shade and reduce noise. Vietnam has recognized the importance of planting trees and has implemented many programs and projects to encourage and support people in planting and caring for trees. This not only contributes to protecting the environment but also creates a green, beautiful living space and improves the quality of life for everyone.

5. Throw garbage in the right place

Using the trash can: Make sure you use the nearest trash can to dispose of your trash. Trash cans are usually located in public places, on the street or in residential areas.

Garbage classification: Before throwing away trash, separate it into different categories like organic waste, plastic waste, paper waste, electronic waste, etc. This helps in recycling and handling trash more efficiently.

Garbage packaging: To avoid littering and polluting the environment, pack your rubbish in plastic bags or wrap it in suitable packaging before throwing it in the trash.

Obey signs: Pay attention to signs and instructions on where and how to dispose of waste. This helps ensure that you are disposing of waste properly and not causing a nuisance to others.

Do not litter: Avoid littering, such as throwing trash from cars or windows. This is not only harmful to the environment, but also illegal.

6. Take advantage of available energy sources

To take advantage of available energy sources, we can apply measures to use renewable energy sources. Take advantage of sunlight for lighting, use rainwater to flush toilets...

7. Save electricity

Turn off lights when not in use: Remember to turn off the lights when leaving the room or when not needed.

Using LED lights: LED lights consume less energy than fluorescent lights and have a longer life.

Turn off electrical appliances when not in use: Don't leave appliances like TVs, computers, air conditioners or electric fans running when not needed.

Use energy-saving devices: When buying new electrical appliances, choose those labeled energy efficient.

Using solar energy: If possible, use solar energy for cooking or heating water.

Periodic inspection and maintenance: Check and maintain electrical appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners to ensure they operate efficiently and save energy.

8. Save paper

Print on both sides of paper: When printing documents, select 2-sided printing to use less paper.

Use recycled paper: Use recycled paper instead of new paper to reduce paper consumption.

Use email and digital technology: Instead of printing and sending documents by traditional mail, use email and digital technology to exchange information.

Use a whiteboard and markers: Instead of using paper and pens to take notes, use a whiteboard and markers to save paper.

Use digital apps and tools: There are many digital apps and tools that help We take notes, store and share information without using paper.

9. Applying scientific and technological advances to life

Technology can help us save resources and reduce environmental pollution. For example, we can use mobile applications to conduct online transactions instead of using paper. In addition, technology also helps us track and manage energy and resource consumption more intelligently. Applying technology to life not only helps protect the environment but also brings many economic benefits and conveniences to the community.
