Although in recent times, all levels and sectors of Quynh Luu district have regularly launched campaigns to clean up the sea, due to the limited awareness of some people, waste is not collected in the right place, causing a large amount of waste on the beach. To solve this problem, Quynh Luu District Youth Union has come up with the idea of making goby-shaped trash bins placed on the beach to raise people's awareness and responsibility in protecting the environment.

Mr. Nguyen Van Cong - Deputy Secretary of Quynh Luu District Youth Union said that after a period of mobilizing youth union members to respond to the campaign to protect the marine environment, the "trash-requesting goby" models of 3 youth union units of Quynh Nghia, Quynh Bang and Son Hai communes have been completed. To make this product, the units have taken advantage of discarded materials such as bamboo, rattan, tires... to create a funny goby. Photo: Viet Hung |

All plastic bottles and jars collected at the beach will be put into the “trash goby”; when full, they will be collected and transported elsewhere. This trash goby model not only significantly reduces the amount of waste but also decorates the beach to be more lively and friendly to tourists. Photo: Thuy Nga |
