Vietnam is one of many countries that have to face the consequences of environmental pollution, and this can be considered as the responsibility of everybody. The development of societies has direct impacts on the environment such as emissions from factories, waste being dumped in rivers and seas, illegal logging, etc. We can start from simple things like putting waste in the right place, not smoking in public area or do not destroy trees. Exhaust emissions from motor vehicles are one of the leading causes of air pollution, so we should choose to use bio-fuel, turn off the engine when we stop at the red light and often use public transport instead of a motorcycle. We can also contribute to protect the environment by using source of energy in a proper way, turning off electrical appliances such as TVs, bulbs, fans, etc immediately after using and locking the faucet when it is not necessary. If we are more aware of protecting the environment, our lives and those around us will become much easier.
