Changing habits to protect the environment

TQO - According to the provisions of the Law on Environmental Protection 2020, waste classification at source must be mandatory from January 1, 2025 at the latest. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has been coordinating with units to gradually implement waste classification at source from households through community models.

However, in order to classify waste at source effectively and sustainably in the community, relevant ministries, branches, and local authorities still have many contents to focus on, including propaganda, community guidance, and investment in infrastructure for collection, transportation, treatment, and recycling of household waste. In particular, changing awareness and raising people's awareness in waste classification is still a difficult problem.

Therefore, in recent times, ministries, branches, authorities at all levels, socio-political organizations, businesses and communities have implemented many programs and activities such as anti-plastic waste program, tree planting, environmental sanitation, step by step implementation of waste classification at source from households through community models.

In Tuyen Quang province, many pilot models on collecting, classifying, recycling, reusing and reducing plastic waste based on the community have been implemented, attracting the active participation of socio-political organizations, union members, youth, students, households, etc.

Waste classification not only brings environmental protection benefits, but also saves natural resources, and most importantly, reduces waste released into the environment. If families are always aware of waste classification, it will bring great benefits to the community, contributing to protecting a greener, cleaner environment. However, to make waste classification at the source a green, sustainable lifestyle soon, we need to drastically and synchronously implement many solutions, with many tasks to do, in which changing thinking and awareness is a prerequisite.
