Vietnam is one of many countries that have to face the consequences of environmental pollution, and this can be considered as the responsibility of everybody. The development of societies has direct impacts on the environment such as emissions from factories, waste being dumped in rivers and seas, illegal logging, etc. The media has been propagating a lot about protecting the environment, and the awareness of each person is very important in maintaining a healthy habitat. We can start from simple things like putting waste in the right place, not smoking in public area or do not destroy trees. Garbage is always a big problem for any city, and we can make it easier to handle garbage if we follow the rules of waste sorting and dumping sites. Exhaust emissions from motor vehicles are one of the leading causes of air pollution, so we should choose to use bio-fuel, turn off the engine when we stop at the red light and often use public transport instead of a motorcycle. We can also contribute to protect the environment by using source of energy in a proper way, turning off electrical appliances such as TVs, bulbs, fans, etc immediately after using and locking the faucet when it is not necessary. We are living with environmental pollution, and everyone has been exposed to negative effects at least once in their life. If we are more aware of protecting the environment, our lives and those around us will become much easier
