As part of the activities in response to the Month of Action for the Environment and World Environment Day 2026, the Women's Union of Mong Duong Ward organized a program to disseminate information and provide technical guidance on sorting household solid waste and treating organic waste at home.
The most impressive part was the training on processing organic waste using probiotics. From seemingly discarded waste such as spoiled vegetables, leaves, and leftover food, members were guided on how to compost them into organic fertilizer for their plants and home gardens. Many women said they would apply the method immediately after the training because it was simple, easy to implement, and significantly reduced the amount of waste that needed to be processed.
Beyond just raising awareness, the Women's Union of Mong Duong ward also personally delivered eco-friendly trash cans, microbial fertilizers for organic waste treatment, and biodegradable waste sorting bags to its branches. These small but practical gifts have further motivated members to translate the knowledge they've learned into concrete actions in their daily lives.

According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Linh, President of the Women's Union of Mong Duong Ward, sorting waste at source not only contributes to reducing the amount of waste that needs to be processed, but also helps utilize organic waste to create fertilizer for plants. This is a simple solution that brings double benefits, both protecting the environment and saving costs for households.
Along with waste sorting at source, many waste recycling models are also proving effective. Immediately after the school milk program was launched, the Green Life Ha Long Cooperative in Viet Hung ward proactively organized the collection of empty milk cartons from schools and residential areas. After being sorted, cleaned, and processed, these cartons are sent to professional recycling facilities. This activity not only helps reduce the amount of waste released into the environment but also contributes to raising awareness among students and residents about waste sorting and recycling. Ms. Tran Thi Huong, Director of the Green Life Ha Long Cooperative, said that the unit is carrying out this work entirely on a voluntary basis with the desire to contribute to reducing waste.

Specific, practical models are creating a strong ripple effect in the community. From urban to rural areas, the women's movement to protect the environment has become a regular activity in many localities. Models such as "Green Sunday," "Turning Waste into Money," "Exchanging Waste for Gifts," "Exchanging Old Batteries for Green Plants," sorting and processing organic waste at household level, or flower-lined and green streets managed by women have been and are proving to be very effective.
In particular, the "Green, Clean, and Beautiful Road" contest launched by the Provincial Women's Union has attracted a large number of officials and members to participate. Previously unpaved roads overgrown with weeds and littered with trash have now been covered with vibrant flowers, becoming a scenic highlight in many residential areas.
The effectiveness of these movements has been demonstrated by concrete figures. Currently, the entire province maintains over 1,000 "Turning Waste into Money" models. In May 2026 alone, these models generated over 100 million VND, while also contributing to reducing approximately 55 tons of recyclable waste and plastic waste released into the environment.
Through practical actions, innovative models, and the active participation of women's association members, the environmental protection movement in Quang Ninh is spreading ever wider. These are not only bright spots in environmental protection efforts but also contribute to building a green lifestyle, aiming towards the province's sustainable development goals in the new era.
