In order to contribute to promoting and raising awareness of environmental protection and combating plastic waste, the Ea Kar District Women's Union organized the Contest "Displaying ideas and creating recycled products for the environment". This is an interesting and useful playground, helping female cadres and members to exchange, learn, demonstrate their ability to explore, create, and convey messages about environmental protection.

After the District Women's Union launched the Contest "Displaying ideas and creating recycled products for the environment", Ms. Cao Thi Nhi, Vice President of the Women's Union of Quyet Tien 1 Village (Ea Tih Commune) went online to learn and refer to ideas for recycling products from waste. She collected mineral water bottles, beer cans, soft drink cans and colorful foam pieces to cut, paste and create pen holders with many different designs. Although these are only recycled products, they are completely usable. After participating in the exhibition at the contest, she donated those products to the offices at the Commune People's Committee for use.
