Hanoi students turn green habits into action through competition
Following the Green Living – Active Ambassadors for Environmental Protection competition Nestlé MILO and its partners are continuing to help students sort and collect used beverage cartons for recycling translating environmental awareness into action and green habits
Hanoi primary school students turned their green initiatives into concrete action through a nationwide competition. Organized by the Ministry of Education and Training, the Pioneer and Children's Newspaper, and Nestlé Vietnam, the competition ran from May and saw 885 video entries from students across 22 provinces and cities. The contest provided a platform for young participants to demonstrate their understanding of waste sorting, reuse, and environmental protection through the creation of videos.
The competition's ultimate goal was to empower students to become advocates for green living among their families, friends, and communities. At the closing ceremony held on October 30, at Chu Van An Primary and Secondary School in Hanoi, the organizers applauded individuals, groups, and schools for their exemplary efforts. Students also received expert advice on the proper handling of used paper cartons, emphasizing the significance of sorting, cleaning, and recycling them correctly.
Building on the success of the competition, Nestlé Vietnam is set to collaborate with the Ministry of Education and Training, the Pioneer and Children's Newspaper, Tetra Pak Vietnam, schools, and other organizations to implement used beverage carton collection activities. The initiative aims to instill proper waste-sorting habits in students, turning the small action of sorting used cartons into a sustainable practice that ultimately contributes to environmental protection.
Nestlé Vietnam's director of Corporate Affairs, Le Thi Hoai Thuong, stressed the importance of consistency and habit formation in driving real change. She highlighted how sorting and collecting used milk cartons might seem like a minor action but is a demonstration of students' active engagement in environmental preservation. The joint efforts of schools, families, and partners are expected to ensure that these small actions become ingrained daily habits, nurturing a generation of environmentally responsible individuals.
