“Someone once told me that we treat the Earth badly because we take it as our own property. But until we consider we are on Earth, we will love it with respect. In my opinion, with the love of nature, it only takes me a small act to protect the Earth, by recycling the used plastic bottles to make beautiful flower pots for the corner of my small yard but still protect the environment. For me, participating in this creative competition with the idea of ​​the plastic life cycle is an initiative for everyone to express their love to the Earth”, Nguyen Dinh Tu shared.
