Kingfisher Nest Tourism Complex in Vinh Cuu District<\/em><\/p>\n<p>GetGreen Vietnam is a project promoting sustainable consumption in the country which focuses on sustainable living and working for middle-income consumers in urban areas, according to its website.<\/p>\n<p>Like its sister project SPIN (Sustainable Product Innovation), GetGreen Vietnam is also co-funded by the SWITCH-Asia Program of the European Union and implemented by the Netherlands\u2019 Delft University of Technology, Vietnam Cleaner Production Center, and the Asian Institute of Technology in Vietnam.<\/p>\n<p>The project is aimed at developing consumption groups which are aged from 18 to 45 and include students or office workers in a sustainable <span id=\"IL_AD1\" class=\"IL_AD\">consumer<\/span> community and at launching campaigns to promote environmental protection and combat climate change.<\/p>\n<p>The project costs a total of \u20ac1.4 million, of which 80 percent is funded by the SWITCH-Asia Program of the European Union, and 20 percent comes as corresponding funds from the project\u2019s partners, its website added.<\/p>\n<p>Its implementation time is three years from April 2012.<\/p>\n<p>A social network called \u201cSong Xanh\u201d (Green Living) is <span id=\"IL_AD3\" class=\"IL_AD\">selected<\/span> as GetGreen Vietnam\u2019s partner.<\/p>\n<p>Each group joins six get-togethers a week, which are centered on two topics: urban farming, recycling, saving energy, smart traffic, green offices and smart bathrooms\/kitchens.<\/p>\n<p>The activities aim to bring about changes among the members\u2019 behavior and lifestyle before they themselves help change others.<\/p>\n<p>Late last month, the members had enjoyable, beneficial urban farming experiences at Saigon Garden, which is located on the rooftop of the Saigontourist Hotel in Tan Binh District, Ho Chi Minh City.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from seeing for themselves organic planting methods, the youths also adopted the model at their own homes.<\/p>\n<p>Nguyen Le Toan, who loves gardening, shared the experiences taught him how to safely grow aromatic herbs and fruits on his home\u2019s terrace.<\/p>\n<p>They also took great delight in learning how to process food leftovers, such as turning remaining rice into mouth-watering fried rice, or leftover chunks of chicken into sizzling porridge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDiscarded leftovers account for up to 30 percent of the total amount of food which we buy and spend time <span id=\"IL_AD2\" class=\"IL_AD\">processing<\/span>, while we can easily make use of them,\u201d the members said.<\/p>\n<p>They also learn to make the best of natural, environmentally- and people-friendly detergents such as lemons, salt and coconut oil to wipe out stains instead of using conventional chemical <span id=\"IL_AD10\" class=\"IL_AD\">products<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The members are also interested in whether turning off their bike engine while waiting for red lights to turn green is beneficial regarding energy conservation and emission cut, among other various traffic issues.<\/p>\n<p>Nguyen My, director of MMSoft, said she will coordinate with the social network \u201cSong Xanh\u201d to build a green corporate culture and lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>MMSoft is an IT consulting company where several of GetGreen Vietnam\u2019s sessions were held.<\/p>\n<p>Bui Viet Ha, chair of \u201cSong Xanh,\u201d revealed that after the GetGreen Vietnam project ends in April 2015, his social network will continue what the project is doing now.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source:
