(Baonghean.vn) - Raising public awareness to change thinking and behavior to protect the environment and respond to climate change is the message of the Campaign "Nghe An farmers join hands to protect the marine environment" in 2019.

On the afternoon of June 6, the Farmers' Association of Nghe An province organized a launching ceremony for the campaign to clean up the marine environment in Quynh Nghia commune (Quynh Luu district). This is the main activity in the campaign "Nghe An farmers join hands to protect the marine environment" in 2019, in response to World Environment Day, World Oceans Day and Vietnam Sea and Islands Week.

Faced with increasingly serious marine pollution, this campaign contributes to raising people's awareness of the position and importance of environmental protection, sea and island sovereignty in the cause of national construction and defense.

At the ceremony, Chairman of the Provincial Farmers' Association Nguyen Quang Tung emphasized the importance of the sea and islands to human life as well as to socio-economic development. From there, representatives of the Provincial Farmers' Association's leaders mobilized people to raise awareness of environmental protection in general, and marine environment protection in particular, to change their thinking and behavior towards the environment.

People need to fight to overcome polluting production and consumption habits, stop littering the sea, and minimize the use of plastic bags and disposable plastic items.

Associations at all levels need to actively and proactively organize activities to mobilize members and farmers to collect waste in all areas, from fields to wharves, from mountains, plains to coasts.

Along with that, propaganda activities to raise awareness among members and farmers about the environment for the blue sea and for their own lives need to be organized.

As part of the campaign, on June 5 and 6, Nghe An Farmers' Association in collaboration with the Central Rural Environment Center organized two training courses in Hoang Mai town and Quynh Luu district, aiming to raise the responsibility of farmers and fishermen in protecting the marine environment. In particular, the training content on applying technology in preventing marine pollution and treating waste from marine economic activities received a lot of response from the people.
