Joining hands in environmental protection

The province has always focused on environmental protection and construction work. Thanks to good practices and the efforts of local propaganda and mobilization, Mr. Nguyen Van Hieu's family (Tan Tru commune) better understands their role and responsibility in protecting the environment. He actively participates with the locality in environmental protection and construction activities to live green, clean and beautiful. During the rice cultivation process, the family limits the use of pesticides, and together with surrounding households gathers packaging and bottles to the collection pit—previously built by the locality.

According to Mr. Nguyen Van Hieu, every day, each person only needs to perform small actions such as cleaning, sanitation, throwing garbage in the right place, and participating in models launched by the locality to be able to bring many benefits to the living environment. "Together we build and spread practical actions so that everyone can join in, towards a green, environmentally friendly life" - Mr. Nguyen Van Hieu said.

In the field of production and business activities, enterprises also focus on environmental protection. Complying well with policies and laws on environmental protection, enterprises also accompany the locality in related activities, gradually making environmental protection work in the area into practice and more and more orderly.

With an area of ​​over 524 hectares, in addition to focusing on production and business, Huu Thanh Industrial Park (Duc Hoa commune) identifies environmental protection as a key task, closely linked to sustainable development.

Huu Thanh Industrial Park has completed all legal procedures, issued environmental protection regulations as well as incident response plans, invested in a centralized wastewater collection and treatment system (with a phase 1 capacity of 4,000m³/day and night, and an incident treatment pond of 8,000m³) to ensure that wastewater always meets column A standards before being discharged outside. The automatic monitoring system is connected in real time with the management agency, and a team of highly qualified environmental engineers directly supervises operations.

At the same time, the Industrial Park focuses on planting trees to beautify landscapes, increase CO₂ absorption, improve air quality and limit environmental impacts on the surrounding area.

Director of the Business Department of Idico Corporation (investor of Huu Thanh Industrial Park infrastructure) Truong Ngoc Minh said: "In Idico's orientation, we are actively researching and implementing clean energy projects, renewable energy, environmental monitoring systems and smart security to ensure safe operation, aiming at the goal of sustainable industrial development in the current period as well as in the future."

Avoiding trading the environment for economic growth

The province's viewpoint is to develop the economy in parallel with environmental protection, not to trade the environment for the economic growth. Therefore, over the years, the province has implemented many professional measures and solutions to strengthen and improve management work. The Provincial People's Committee issued a list of selective industries for investment. This is the basis for minimizing waste that affects the environment when the project is put into operation, aiming at green growth and sustainable development of the province.

According to Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment Nguyen Tan Thuan, in order to harmoniously combine economic development and environmental protection, the Department is proactive in inspecting and strictly managing the discharge of waste from units, strictly handling environmental violations, propagating, raising awareness about environmental protection; signing a state management plan in the field of environmental protection with departments, branches, sectors, localities to join hands in implementation.

In addition, the Department advised the Provincial People's Committee to make specific decisions and instructions, clearly defining the roles and responsibilities of each department, branch, and locality to have close coordination and unity in environmental protection.

The Department also synchronously implements environmental protection solutions, focusing on prioritizing projects related to climate change, perfecting the automatic monitoring system of environmental components, closely inspecting the investment attraction process, resolutely not accepting projects with outdated technology or the risk of causing pollution, and thoroughly resolving existing facilities and locations causing environmental pollution.

Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment Nguyen Tan Thuan emphasized: "With the viewpoint that economic development must go hand in hand with environmental protection, in recent years, the province has issued plans and implemented tasks and solutions on state management of the environment and environmental protection activities in the area. Thanks to that, this work has achieved certain results, gradually becoming routine."

In the coming time, the province will continue to focus on solutions to maintain and enhance the Provincial Green Index (PGI). The Department will advise the Provincial People's Committee to issue an action plan and direct each department, branch, and locality, including people and businesses, to implement synchronous solutions, maintain and improve PGI; advise on issuing a resolution on green growth of the province, associated with production development, while protecting the environment associated with the program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions according to the roadmap to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 of the country; develop a circular economy; and effectively utilize resources to go hand in hand with environmental protection"./.
