(HBO) - Recently, the movement of turning waste collection areas and weed paths into "flowering sections" have been actively implemented by the Women's Union of Mai Chau district.
Over the past few years, in order to promote
the role of staff and women members in protecting environment and building the

campaign "Every woman member planted a flower". The first model was
implemented from January 2018, until now, the whole district had 13/23 communes
and towns implementing the campaign.
On these days, the 730- meter road leading
from National Highway 15 into Na Sai village, Chieng Chau commune is like
wearing a new more brilliant coat by being prominent between two rice fields
with a colorful road in a variety of flower species, such as butterfly wings,
white flowers, violet flowers, etc. These are all flowers with good vitality,
easy to grow, easy to care, and they can bloom all around the year and in
accordance with the cultural identity of the site. Many groups and women's
unions activities have been flexible, creative and supported by local
committees, local authorities and enthusiastic participation of local people,
such as they plant flowers at the sections where they often waste garbage,
causing bad appearance and environmental pollution.

whole commune and received the active response of most members participating.

seedlings, etc., so far, the commune has built two long "flowering
roads" in Na Sai hamlet and Lac village, while in other hamlets, women
have planted around their houses and around the area of the cultural houses of
the village."
