Building new rural areas from the model of '5 no, 3 clean' in Hieu Giang commune

QTO - Along with patriotic emulation movements, the campaign "Building a family of 5 no's, 3 clean's" has become a bright spot in the construction of new rural areas in Hieu Giang commune.

Start small...

Over the past year, many families in Pho Lai village, Hieu Giang commune have gradually become accustomed to sorting household waste. Organic waste is put into the "green waste pit" along with biological products to make fertilizer for plants. This is a model that the Women's Union of the old Thanh An commune has implemented since March 2024 with the goal of creating a habit for women to properly sort waste at the source, contributing to environmental protection to build advanced and model new rural areas.

Thanks to that, the "green trash pit" model has created a clear change in environmental protection awareness. The whole Pho Lai village currently has 23 "green trash pits", built with brick and cement support from the Commune Women's Union, and member families proactively built and purchased additional lids, and purchased waste decomposition products. Not stopping there, the Women's Union of Pho Lai village also launched a movement for each member family to have a pair of flower pots in front of their house, creating a green - clean - beautiful landscape from the flower roads.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hai, an active member of Pho Lai village, shared: “I always think that keeping the environment clean is protecting the health of my family, so I regularly clean the house and take care of the flower path in front of my house. At the same time, I encourage members to get used to using the “green trash pit” to ensure a clean living environment. In addition, I actively participate in contributing labor and money to build a volleyball court, install solar lights to have a place to practice sports and community activities. These activities bring many benefits, helping people in the village and neighborhood to be more connected and joyful.”
