| Bicycles – one of the “green” means of transport |
“Preserving and developing a green, sustainable environment is both the responsibility and mission of each student. My team participated in this contest with a desire to contribute to further pushing up the combination of the use of means of transport such as buses, trams, or bicycles to transport tourists. This is also a way to protect the environment,” said Do Hoang Long – a member of the Green Journey team from Hue Tourism College.
Mr. Dao Xuan Lai, Head of Climate Change and Environment (UNDP) in Vietnam shared: “One of the solutions is focusing on changing your own behaviors when using environmentally friendly and low carbon emission vehicles, thereby joining hands to build up a greener and cleaner future and reach the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, creating a sustainable future for Vietnam”.
To the end of this competition, the team reaching the highest score will be present in the final round which will take place on March 21 in Ha Noi.
