“The program was initiated from the desire to change the awareness of young union members about "waste resources", and can completely become a fundraising method for union organizations in the business sector when the business economy is facing many difficulties.
In addition, the main goal of the program is to promote environmental protection, contribute to improving the cultural space of the office (through exchanging trees) and support young people and workers in difficult circumstances (through exchanging rice). After 1 week of launching, nearly 2 tons of waste of all kinds were converted into nearly 200 kg of rice and 250 trees" - Secretary of the Provincial Business Youth Union Nguyen Ba Tuan Anh said.
