The black water, the stinking garbage bags, the dozens of needles... could not stop the strength of the Green Saigon team. The young people together formed a group to wade through the mud to clean up the garbage under the black canals in Saigon.

Without hesitating the smell of black water, the group together "changed clothes" for the canals and canals in Saigon.

On the 24th day of the lunar calendar, the Lunar New Year of the Rabbit 2023 (ie 15/1), while people rush to return to their hometown, others clean, shop, and decorate their houses, at the foot of An Phu Dong Bridge (Go Vap District, Ho Chi Minh City).HCM), 5 members of the Green Saigon group are busy cleaning up a mountain of garbage in the middle of the smelly black canal water.
Group leader Nguyen Luong Ngoc (nickname Shin, 27 years old) shared: "The members of the group are all children of farmers, so they are not afraid of suffering or difficulties. The reason I created this group is that I was greatly inspired by The Padawara group in Indonesia also worked on this topic."
"We upload videos to make viewers feel like they are participating in garbage collection sessions, thereby making it easier to spread the message to everyone," Mr. Shin added.

"Not afraid to get dirty, not afraid of difficulties are the criteria set by the group," said Mr. Ngo Nhat Duy (23 years old, native of Phu Yen)

Protecting the environment is like that, sometimes the group still receives a lot of detractors such as "free time", "eating meals at the prison, and total goods". Many comments left on the Sai Gon Xanh channel said that garbage after being picked up and collected and cleaned up today will still reappear tomorrow.
Hearing that, you guys ignored it, still passionate about implementing the "transformation trend" for canals and canals. The whole group only worries about one thing: It is because of the habit of littering indiscriminately many people today that the environment is polluted.
Therefore, every time the cleaning group is done, they ask the people around to make a warning board such as "don't litter in the canals" or "forbid dumping", with the desire that people raise awareness of environmental protection, Let's join hands to clean up trash to turn Saigon into a green city.

While scratching the garbage bags on the shore, Mr. Phan Nhan (23 years old, from Dak Lak) said: "In the past, the members only brought their boots and gloves to clean up the trash. Later, they encountered dangerous items such as pieces of crockery. , needles... the group bought more protective gear to keep it safe."

The chairs and bulky objects lying deep on the bottom were also dredged by young people, not to be missed

A mattress lying on the bottom of the river, soaked in water and mud weighs more than 60kg, making you struggle to pull it ashore

Every 2 or 3 days, the whole group cleans together at a different location, from about 6:30 to 10:00. Less than 10 bags of trash each time, more than 20 bags

You can still be a member of the squad even if you don't join the team, as long as you are conscious of not throwing trash indiscriminately, working together to clean up where you live is already a member of the squad.
