Since its first launch 31 years ago, the Green Sunday program of Ho Chi Minh City youth has spread to become a nationwide movement. What the city’s youth have done not only contributes to making the environment cleaner but also affirms the youth’s pioneering spirit in protecting the environment.

As of October 2025, the city’s youth had organized 165 campaigns in almost all localities. Each campaign, thousands of young people in green volunteer shirts, celebrities, officers, soldiers of the People’s Armed Forces, etc. enthusiastically participated.

Millions of tons of garbage have been collected from canals and streams; hundreds of thousands of green areas have been created and greened residential areas.

Let's look back at the environmental protection activities of the city's youth in recent times.

Many young people do not hesitate to immerse themselves in polluted canals to collect all kinds of waste.

This meaningful activity received the cooperation of many famous people, officers and soldiers of the police units.

Many young people consider this an interesting experience activity when the activities include cleaning and collecting garbage.
