Thousands of citizens and young people across the country recently participated in neighborhood cleanup activities and collected used items, responding to the call "Green Action - Choose a Green Future" launched by the Foundation for a Green Future (Vingroup).
This is one of the flagship activities kicking off the "Green Wednesday" campaign series that the Foundation will implement throughout 2026 with the message "Act Green - Choose a Green Future".
In Hanoi, from the main stage of the launch ceremony at the Phu Dien Ward Cultural, Information and Sports Center to other locations such as Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Hanoi University of Culture, Hanoi National University dormitories (Hoa Lac and Me Tri)... and Vincom shopping malls, a large number of young people and citizens enthusiastically participated in the Green Action Day.

These activities aimed to foster the habit of sorting waste at source and reusing it within the community. Speaking at the launch ceremony, Dr. Le Thai Ha, Executive Director of the Foundation for a Green Future, stated: "When each person consistently maintains small actions, we not only change individual habits but also contribute to positive changes for the community and the future."
