Earth Day - Action for a Green Future

Earth Day (April 22nd) is an opportunity for everyone to reflect on the relationship between humans and the environment. In the context of growing green awareness, many young people are quietly demonstrating their love for the environment through practical actions. These small actions, when consistently maintained and widely disseminated, will contribute to creating healthier, more environmentally friendly green living habits.

Phan Nhat Quang (Ben Luc district) participated in a tree planting activity organized by the school.

Phan Nhat Quang, a student in class 11A2 at iSchool Long An International School (Ben Luc town, Ben Luc district, Long An province), is one of the students who proactively protects the environment through the simplest actions. Quang regularly participates in tree planting events organized by the school, viewing it not only as an extracurricular activity but also as a way to connect with nature.

"I think planting trees is a great way to contribute to environmental protection . Green trees not only beautify our living spaces but also help improve air quality and reduce pollution," Quang shared.

Besides planting trees, Quang also maintains many eco-friendly and economical habits such as turning off electrical devices when not in use, utilizing natural light, limiting the use of air conditioners, and reminding friends and relatives to sort household waste properly. He also pays attention to saving water in his daily life.

"I think protecting the environment isn't about doing big things, but starting with small daily habits. If everyone is conscious of preserving it, from the classroom to our homes, everything will become greener and cleaner," Quang shared.

As an office worker at a company specializing in footwear and textile production, Ms. Pham Chau Anh Tu (My Le commune, Can Duoc district) is well aware of the role of a green lifestyle and recycling old items in protecting the environment. On Earth Day 2025 , she actively participated in activities organized by her company, such as planting trees in the factory grounds, sorting waste at source, maximizing the use of natural light, and turning off electrical devices when not needed to save energy.

"I think each of us can contribute to protecting the environment through even the smallest actions. The important thing is that we are conscious of it and do it regularly. I hope that what I do will spread the spirit of green living to my colleagues and those around me," Ms. Tú shared. She even transforms old, seemingly discarded items into unique decorative pieces or useful everyday objects.

"I often repaint and decorate old tires into unique garden benches, and repurpose glass bottles to make decorative flower vases. Sometimes I even sew scraps of fabric into pretty little handbags to give to friends and colleagues," said Ms. Tú.

Through actions such as planting seedlings, maintaining thrifty habits, and creatively recycling items, many young people are actively participating in Earth Day 2025. These practical actions will continue to spread the green spirit and awaken a sense of responsibility towards the environment in the community.
