Over the past years, activities to protect the
environment and build a green, clean and beautiful environment have helped
reduce environmental pollution. The district supported communes which meet all
new-style rural building criteria in building temporary landfills, spent 759.8
million VND from the budget buying 225 trash cans and 62 garbage trucks. Up to
now, all communes have built waste collection models to protect the
environment. In the district, nine communes have concentrated landfills with
the total investment of 900 million VND. Communes have responded to the
movement "Clean houses - beautiful gardens - fresh environment - civilized
alleys” with 75 flower roads with a total length of more than 55 km and a total
area of more than 25,000 sq.m. Following the national strategy on clean water
supply and rural environmental sanitation, to date, 96.7 percent of local
households have gained access to hygienic water, 70 percent have used clean
water, and 76 percent have had hygienic toilets, bathrooms and water tanks.
Through assessments, 100 percent of communes meet criterion No. 17 on
environment.
The district basically meets the new-style rural
district criteria related to the environment, including the solid waste
collection and treatment system in the district meeting standards and 100
percent of production, processing and service establishments strictly following
environmental protection regulations.
The localities have actively encouraged people
to renovate ponds and gardens, embellish fences, clean alleys and plant trees
in offices, units, businesses and public places. Local people are asked to
build model gardens and model new-style rural residential areas, and ensure 100
percent of construction material producers invest in environment protection,
such as a system to minimise dust caused by stone quarrying activities and
biogas systems in farms.
In addition, the communes actively develop pilot
models in the implementation of environmental landscape criteria. Up to now,
Luong Son has nine model new-style residential areas and 28 model gardens.
With environmental protection efforts, the
environment in Luong Son has improved significantly. The district has one waste
treatment plant in the sub-zone 14 in Luong Son town, and communes have
self-management waste collection and treatment teams and build temporary
landfills to collect waste before transporting to the waste treatment plant. All
production, processing and service establishments strictly comply with
environmental protection regulations. Establishments causing environmental
pollution are promptly handled.
Chairman of the Luong Son district People’s
Committee Nguyen Van Danh said that the district continues intensifying
environmental management and protection, using natural resources properly, well
managing waste from industrial zones and clusters and factories, effectively
monitoring environmental pollution at concentrated husbandry farms. It will
maintain the good implementation of the movement "Clean houses - beautiful
gardens - fresh environment - civilized alleys”, build flower roads,
entertainment places and parks, while strengthening State governance over land
and the environment and closely supervising environmental protection projects.
Together with State budget, the district will mobilise resources from
residents, businesses and projects to better implement environment-related
criteria./.
