Environmental Concerns in Vietnam - Vietnam discards 8,000 tons of plastic daily, equivalent to discarding one elephant per minute [1] - Vietnam is among the top five countries contributing plastic to the sea [3] - Only 27% of plastic in Vietnam is recycled [4] - Each Vietnamese person uses approximately 41 kilograms of plastic annually [5] Environmental Impact and Solutions - Leaving trash on the ground can lead to ocean pollution [3] - Planting one tree can absorb 22 kg of carbon dioxide each year, offsetting pollution from driving a car for 100 kilometers [6] Call to Action for Children - Children can contribute to solving environmental problems by picking up trash, teaching others about recycling, using less plastic, and planting trees [2] - Every small action, like picking up one piece of trash, can prevent it from reaching the sea [3] - Refusing plastic bags and choosing paper over plastic can make the earth cleaner [6] - Saving the planet starts with individual actions and choices [10]
