Since 2019, Ho Chi Minh City Open University (HCMCOU) has implemented a regulation to stop using bottled water and plastic straws throughout the university. Instead, the university encourages students, faculty, and staff to bring their own personal water bottles. This is a significant step in the university's efforts to protect the environment, contributing to spreading the message of "Green Living" to the community.
Green living is a healthy, sustainable lifestyle that aims for harmony between humans and nature. It is reflected in daily actions and choices to protect the environment, use natural resources wisely and efficiently, and minimize negative impacts on the ecosystem.
Therefore, Green Living plays a crucial role in the environment and society by protecting the environment, mitigating climate change, using natural resources responsibly, improving quality of life, and promoting sustainable economic development.
Understanding that green living is the responsibility of each individual and the community, Ho Chi Minh City Open University always pays special attention to environmental protection activities, contributing to improving the quality of green living for the community. The university regularly promotes communication and education on accumulating green skills for students right from their freshman year. Simultaneously, the university also organizes practical activities to help students have better experiences.
