Bac Giang volunteers for a green homeland
Responding to this summer VYC themed “Volunteer youth builds city”, the Bac Giang municipal youth has conducted various voluntary tasks to take the youth strength to proactively build the civilized, bright, green and beautiful urban area.
The youth members in Tran Nguyen Han ward (Bac Giang city) call for the small traders to minimize the use of plastic waste. |
Ha Vi market in Tran Nguyen Han ward (Bac Giang province) has about 100 small traders selling live stock and dried food stuff. Everyday, the households use big quantity of nylon bag and single use plastic waste, leading to increased volume of waste.
From that actual situation, the Youth Union in Tran Nguyen Han ward proposed the local Party and People’s Committee to launch model “Civil market minimizes plastic waste”.
Accordingly, the Youth Union in the ward coordinated with the Management Board of the market to broadcast the communication calling for the small traders to ink the commitment, local residents to minimize using nylon bad and single use plastic; keep organizing the programme “Point accumulation for gift exchanges” and “Exchanging recycle waste for tree” to encourage them exchanging plastic bottle, can, old books and newspapers to tools or trees.
The Secretary of the ward Youth Union Tran Thi Hai shared: “The action is warmly welcomed by the locals in the area, so the Youth Union gathered nearly 1,000 beer cans, plastic bottle, over 100kg of waste, old books and newspapers which were sold to gain expenses to present gifts and scholarships to local impoverished students”.
Via the project “Youth creates green lifestyle” and “5 green” movement, the youth in Hiep Hoa district selected the market in Thang town to implement the model. The local youth organized direct communication or delivered leaflets and effigies.
Toward an effective implementation, the district Youth Union established the voluntary teams together with the Management Board of the market to regularly clean up the area, remind the small trading households to limit the use of nylon bag.
Implementing the Decree No.17 of the provincial Party Committee’s Standing Board about mobilizing the public to thoroughly gather and treat the waste in the environment and launching 2020 summer VYC, the provincial Youth Union focuses on the task of environmental protection, new rural and civilized urban building.
According to the Vice Secretary of the provincial Youth Union Than Trung Kien, the provincial Youth Union instructed the units to conduct a chain of voluntary activities focusing on the content and effectiveness instead of the formalities so that the tasks in 2020 summer VYC is suitable to local actual situation.
Apart from the youth activities to protect the environment, further implementation of 2020 summer VYC, the provincial Youth Union assigned the voluntary groups to conduct 5 projects of Exam Assistance, Pink Vacation, Green March, Red Flamboyant and Green Summer.
During implementation, the youth union at all levels provides support, consultation and information to the students at the High School Education Examination and Entrance Exam to grade 10; form quick response teams to support traffic route to ensure the public order and help student in exam season; grow trees in the empty land; beautify the cemeteries; help difficult social policy families and organize summer activities for youths and teenagers.
To gain high result, each youth block and force should base on the situation and properties to arrange the members suitably with the content and task. Realizing the voluntary programmes help promote the pioneer and creative spirit of youth members to join hands in homeland construction.
