The meeting brought together representatives from the Ward’s Department of Economic, Infrastructure, and Urban Affairs, the full neighborhood task force, as well as local residents and business households.

This marks an important preparatory step for piloting the model in a coastal residential area—one that is not only home to the local community but also closely tied to the area’s tourism image and development.

♻️ Strong community support
Participants expressed strong support for the proposed initiative. Many noted that improving waste segregation and reduction practices would not only enhance the local living environment but also help maintain the clean and attractive image of Long Thuy as a coastal area with tourism potential.

🤝 Practical inputs for effective implementation
Beyond general support, participants provided constructive and actionable feedback to ensure the feasibility of the plan, with particular focus on:
• Conducting household-level baseline assessments
• Identifying and engaging key households for the pilot phase
• Developing a model residential cluster as a foundation for scaling up

🚀 Ready for the next steps
Following the agreements reached, the neighborhood task force will begin conducting surveys and mobilizing households to participate. Once the list of participating households is finalized, GreenHub will coordinate training activities, expected to begin in early May 2026.

🌱 The initiative in Long Thuy is not just a pilot—it represents the starting point of a community-driven approach, where residents play a central role in sustaining and spreading Zero Waste practices.

✨ From a coastal neighborhood, change can begin—and ripple outward across the wider community.
