Together help Vietnam
Public transport should be encouraged in big cities to reduce the use of private vehicles, which could help reduce air pollution. However, public transport companies themselves must move towards developing a greener bus system like a scheme being tested in HCM City. The City has recently put into operation five buses that run on compressed natural gas which are environmentally friendly. Viet Nam could also learn from European cities, such as Berlin, to have a "pollution map." The map regulates which vehicles can operate in certain areas of the city.
To improve urban air quality, concerted efforts and comprehensive measures are needed. These include improving the legal framework, developing urban transport infrastructure and public transport, raising public awareness of environmental health and environmental protection and improving air monitoring stations in urban areas.
The weakness in industrial wastewater management and the lack of awareness among citizens caused serious levels of water pollution which led to serious health problems and poisoned aquatic life. The government of Vietnam must formulate and implement several policies and programs that specifically address issues related to water resource management. Besides, people in Vietnam must learn to take care of the natural resources and stop polluting them; otherwise, the next generations will have even worse environmental problems which will cause health problems for a large number of people.
Let's together help Vietnam improve and build a clean country for the next generation.

Inspections of vehicles' emission should also be increased.

Hung: In my opinion, the most important thing to do now is reduce dust pollution, something that should be assigned to local authorities.
