Its already destroyed its tourist industry, they just dont care. Here is an article by Tim Russell, who operated here for 9 years, in the end he went to Thailand, where they have the common sense to fix problems, not put a band aid on it.

Many Vietnamese complain about pollution, but not many people act on it. However, I know many young people here in Vietnam would like to do something about it. We just can't do it on our own individually.

Well you can start small. Get one or two of your friends once a month for a hr or so and just go pick up rubbish. It's a small thing but if your friends friends start doing that it can turn into a big thing. Then people see you doing that and they ask what you are doing you tell them. It's a culture thing and the only way is to get into the habit of putting rubbish in bins.

When I was in England I worked for a fruit packing company and a van use to drive us to work. It was a long drive so we used to stop for a snack on the way. After the other were finished eating they chucked the rubbish out the window. I had a go at them and they said its what we have always done. The next time I brought a plastic bag and asked could they just put the rubbish in the bag and I would put it in the bin. This made people think and then everyone started thinking about what they were doing and stopped littering.聽 So little things can make a difference.

Actually education is what is going to work here, there are a few groups do the same thing as what you want to do. Everything takes time for change, but a chnage in attitude will help.Seeing as you didnt give me a reply, I will presume your not interested in informing others about future activities you want to be involved with.

Yes education is a big part of the cog. But seeing their own people doing something simple as picking up rubbish gives the people a connection to the land. This is just my small thing I'm thinking of doing. Just small stuff. Not big budget stuff. But if you have ideas I would love to hear them.

As we aren't leaving for Nam until feb its hard to plan this far out. I know I can't change the world but I can try to make a small part slightly better I will give it ago.

same problem in Australia, its just not my problem and someone gats to have a job any way, the issue is : my yard is clean : stuff the rest. Maybe it will shame them into action if they see foriegners doing something possitive

They will have to understand why we do it, or why they should feel shame on littering there own country. Yeah they need to bring back the keep Australia beautiful ads back. But in Australia you can get fined for littering or pollution the environment. VN is seems the norm to litter. I know in China you just throw your rubbish in the gutter and someone comes and cleans it up. But too bad if it rains all that rubbish goes straight in the river.
