The campaign will call on people to consume more environmental friendly products and encourage businesses to increase their responsibility towards the community and the environment.
According to the organizers, seven projects on environmental protection have been carried out in the city this year, with the participation of more than 1,000 volunteers.
A new feature of this year’s campaign is a project that instructs households in Tan Phu District to classify different types of solid garbage, said Nguyen Thanh Ngan, chief volunteer coordinator of the campaign.
More than 90% of households in the district have committed to maintain “green residential quarters”.
For this year, the supermarket chain will set aside a total of VND23.5 billion (US$1.1 million), six time higher than last year, to implement six promotion programmes under its green consumption month from June 7-22.
