Co To Clean-up and Trash-bin Giving

Most of Vietnam’s tourist attractions more or less face the problem of pollution, especially from wastes. Local people and tourists are the ones who dump the wastes into the environment. People’s low consciousness is not the only one to blame but the lack of trash-bin in such places.

As such, the Responsible Travel Club of Vietnam (RTC) has chosen Co To Island to be our first destination for installing the first trash-bins and cleaning up on this small beautiful island, with the hope of improving the environment in Co To Island. RTC stood up as a pioneer in the “Clean-up” Movement in Co To. The act has positively influenced not only the local people but also the tourist visiting the island. So many locals and tourists have joined us during RTC’s Clean-up. RTC just want more and more people be aware of the importance of clean environment to human’s health. Pick up the trashes and put them in a bin! That’s the message we want to spread to the community.
