Compost at Home

Our project aims to improve the living environment and quality of life for farmers of Nhop villages by providing training and support activities. Project activities will include technical training for farmers on the making and the using of compost for agriculture production. In addition, the project site will also act as experimental and experiential learning site for students of Tay Bac University to practice their knowledge and skills in agriculture and forestry. Results and findings gained from the project will be fed into the training programme and resources at the university.

Excavatus

Earthworm compost is a good choice to replace the use of chemical fertilizers, which leave residues that cause soil pollution and the reduction of plant quality. Farmers from Phu Dong village, the project site, through taking part in our project, will have the opportunity to expand their production activities and increase their income, resulting in a higher standard of living. Additionally, farmers' awareness of environmental protection will be considerably improved with farmers taking an active role in keeping the village clean and green.

Green Health

Our goal is to provide urban Hanoi with gymnastic equipment for public areas, which, at the same time, contributes to the purification of polluted lakes in the city by utilising energy generated from the exercise machines. In some countries, there are currently some model projects which use gym machines to generate energy for other activities. In Vietnam, at the moment, people undertake gymnastic activities only to improve their health. We propose a new model, combining a health improvement initiative with a lake water treatment system to solve our pollution problem. Lakes play an important role in urban spaces, providing areas for people to relax and exercise. However, in Hanoi, lakes have become seriously polluted. Governmental authorities as well as domestic and foreign organizations have invested much in lake water treatment activities but pollution is still very high. At the same time, people's desire for daily physical exercise has increased considerably as living standards have risen.

Recycling Garbage in School to Green our Buildings

Our project aims to cover the university roof and main walls with green plants, making use of both organic and non-organic waste collected from our university daily activities. The first project site will be the Hochiminh City (HCMC) University of Architecture. After successfully implementing the first stage, the project can be easily replicated in many public buildings such as schools, hospitals, bus stops, and buildings. The project aims to apply modern construction experiences and technology as well as learning from different countries to develop the green veiling of buildings in Vietnam.

Organic Agriculture Forum

Our project aims to establish a forum for farmers, students, scientists, consumers and all people who care about organic agriculture to learn, discuss, and share knowledge about organic agriculture and its products. I want to spread the knowledge of organic agriculture to as many people as possible. Our project aims to protect our environment and support farmers to earn better incomes by applying organic agriculture techniques, and reducing the use of chemicals and fertilizers in food production.

Vertical Gardens

The planting of trees is the best way to protect the environment. In urban areas, the development of green spaces is not easy to do due to the limited space and the number of buildings. However, spaces like balconies and terraces in large buildings can be used for cultivating trees and plants. Through the design of the Vertical Garden Kit, we can help families take advantage of these areas to produce fresh vegetables for family meals as well as to use for entertainment or decoration purposes. This kit requires an area of only 5m², but can grow at least 750 plants. If each household had a green space provided by this kit, our city will become greener, and the vertical gardens will effectively contribute to both environment protection and sustainable development initiatives in our city. In addition, it provides a potential resource of fresh vegetables for daily meals.
