Turn plastic waste into a playground and join hands to protect the environment

TPO - From discarded tires, youth union members in Dak Lak province have created and turned them into useful toys, creating an interesting playground for children; unique bonsai pots that also contribute to environmental protection.

Recently, Ea Hleo District Youth Union coordinated with Dandelion Social Company (Buon Ma Thuot City) to hand over the youth project "Playground for children 35" in Ea Sol commune, Ea Hleo district.

Old tires are cleaned by youth union members, painted with eye-catching colors, and turned into useful and interesting toys for children.

The playground is made from recycled old tires with many games such as: swings, seesaws, merry-go-rounds, etc., making children very excited.

The ward union has planted flowers and trees in the ward cultural house. It has encouraged union members and young people to form the 4R habit (Refuse - Reduce - Reuse - Recycle).

Using old tires not only saves costs for implementing youth projects but also helps reduce rubber waste in the environment, adding uniqueness to the projects.

Promoting the role of youth in environmental protection, Thang Loi Ward Youth Union coordinated with ward units to implement the program "Collect and exchange plastic waste, give green living gifts".

The program aims to collect used plastic bottles, cans, batteries; books, stories in exchange for trees and notebooks. Thereby, promoting awareness of environmental protection, limiting the use of plastic waste, etc.

The Ea Rok Commune Youth Union, Ea Sup District, coordinated with other units to install 10 tanks to collect used pesticide shells and packaging. These tanks are located on the commune's internal roads.

Since this tank was installed, there have been no more cases of empty bottles being thrown on the road or in the fields. This has raised people’s awareness of protecting the environment and building a green, clean, and beautiful lifestyle.
