Rapid economic growth, urbanization and changing lifestyles in Vietnam have led to
challenges of pollution and many health problems. Children are especially vulnerable because of inadequate information and awareness about the impact of unhealthy food and waste on sensitive bodies.
In this context, the Centre for Supporting Green Development (GreenHub) - a science and technology organisation with strengths in Zero waste, developed the Programme "Zero Waste School and More" (ZHub). It is aimed to minimize the impact of waste and especially plastic waste on children, improve lifestyle
consumption habits as well as develop conservation habits.
The ZHub Programme is funded by the Let's Reuse Programme of H&M Hennes & Mauritz Vietnam Co., Ltd (H&M Vietnam) to raise student and community awareness towards:
- Promote a zero-waste lifestyle through practical and experiential education
- Connect communities with a zero-waste lifestyle, encouraging the use of environmentally friendly products
- Build an ecosystem of organizations, businesses, and governments working together for common environmental benefits
