The Green Cultural Point model of women's associations at all levels has contributed to building habits, awareness and responsibility for environmental protection in the community.

The rows of roses and green trees at the cultural green spot at Phu Vinh communal house, Phuong Duc ward have begun to flourish. Under the lights at night, people living around the area can comfortably walk and exercise.

“Every night I come here for a walk, some people exercise with the newly installed exercise equipment, others sit on stone benches chatting, relaxing... it's so much fun. Since this place was built into a "Cultural Green Spot" and installed lighting, the landscape here has completely changed, it's always clean and bright...”, Ms. Hoa, a resident of this area shared.

Although the cultural green spot at Cong Luong residential group, Thuy Van ward, has just been inaugurated since the beginning of this year, it has truly become a green, clean, and beautiful entertainment place for the local residents. In addition to exercise equipment and swings for children to play, trees and flowers are also planted and cared for to become greener and greener.

Or the cultural green spot in Huong So ward has truly turned the "black spot" of garbage collection, where bad people often come, into a bright, green, clean and beautiful street.

“When the women of the cluster cleaned and planted trees, the roads in the Huong So apartment area seemed to have a new look. Since then, people have become more aware, not littering but are willing to join hands to pick up and dispose of trash in the right place so that the cultural green spot in the ward becomes greener, cleaner and more beautiful,” said Ms. Nuong, Huong So ward.

Like other cultural green spots, the cultural green spot at the intersection of Thuan Loc and Dong Ba wards has always remained as clean and beautiful as when it was first established. This is thanks to the cooperation of all the people living here.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Mai Trang, President of the Women's Union of Dong Ba Ward said: "We are the ones who laid the first "bricks", and the members are the propagandists so that their relatives and neighbors can join hands to protect the environment and build a civilized and clean urban area. Once it becomes a habit, not only in cultural green spots but also anywhere, the environment will always be protected."

Ms. Dang Thi Ngoc Lan, President of the Hue City Women's Union, said: The project "Green Sunday - Take action to make Thua Thien Hue greener, cleaner, brighter" with the program of 60 minutes to clean the house, beautify the alley and "Sunday for the community" with the aim of joining hands to protect the environment, build a civilized urban lifestyle, improve the quality of life is widely deployed by the Hue City Women's Union to each level of the association and its members. By specifying the contents and criteria suitable for each group of women; through campaigns to arouse and promote the potential and creativity of the staff and members to build appropriate models. At the same time, maintain and replicate models, works, and tasks with practical meaning that demonstrate the positivity and enthusiasm in responding to the movements of women members towards protecting the environment and building a sustainable happy family.

In addition to models such as: Women's Union 5 no 3 clean to build civilized urban areas, fight plastic waste, go to the market with plastic baskets", "Bright - green - clean - beautiful roads/alleys"; garbage classification, green savings, turning garbage into money... the green cultural point model has been built and maintained very effectively by the union at all levels, contributing to propaganda, raising awareness of union members and people; building habits, awareness and responsibility for environmental protection in the community.
