Young people brave the sun to collect trash on Hung Hoa dike (Vinh City).
(Baonghean.vn) - After joining hands to clean up the environment at Cua Lo beach, Vinh Tan lake, and the regulating lake (Vinh City), the Gen Z group "Nghe An Green" continues its environmental protection campaign at Hung Hoa dike, Vinh City.

| The Hung Hoa dike runs along the Lam River, spanning three localities: Hung Hoa commune, Hung Dung ward, and Ben Thuy ward (Vinh City). Since its construction, the dike has become a popular spot for recreation, exercise, and strolling for local residents. However, it's worth noting that several illegal food stalls have sprung up along this dike, attracting many people, especially students, who frequently gather there for parties, meals, and littering, causing constant pollution.

| Recently, the "Green Nghe An" group, founded by young people from Nghe An province to voluntarily collect waste and protect the environment, has made a strong impression on the community. Following campaigns in the coastal town of Cua Lo, Vinh Tan Lake, and the regulating lake, this Gen Z group joined hands to collect waste along the Hung Hoa dike. Photo: NC |

| Team leader Le Nam Quan shared: "The trash at Hung Hoa dike is mainly found on the dike slope, because people gathering to eat and drink on the dike have conveniently thrown it down. Therefore, packaging and leftover food make up a large amount. Not to mention that there are also many discarded religious artifacts lying in the riverbed for a long time..." Photo: NC |

| The collection process is time-consuming and involves the risk of contact with hazardous materials such as syringes and broken glass. (Photo: NC) |

| Reportedly, after collecting waste at Hung Hoa dike, the group plans to protect the environment at other polluted areas such as Bac Canal, Cua Nam Lake... and neighboring districts in the future. Photo: NC |

| During discussions, local authorities in the wards and communes managing the Hung Hoa dike, such as Ben Thuy, Hung Dung, and Hung Hoa, stated that they will strengthen their forces to inspect, remind, and handle acts of indiscriminate littering along this dike, especially the illegal makeshift stalls that have sprung up there.
