The Ministry of Education and Training, the Vietnam Environment Protection Agency and TMV will implement the three-year nationwide program through the fund.
At the launching ceremony, general director of TMV, Nobuhiko Murakami, said the program aims to provide community education on environmental protection, contribute to a cleaner environment, and reduce environmental damage.
The Vietnam Student’s Association will also take part in the program to assist individuals and communities affected by environmental problems, and run protection activities at national parks and reservations.
In addition, “Go Green” will help the central Da Nang University to research and use biogas fuel for power generation at breeding farms in central provinces.
A “Go Green Club” for youngsters who love the environment will be set up to exchange information and organize activities.
They can also log on to a website at http://www.gogreen.com.vn, which will be ready later this month.
Early last month, Toyota granted about VND80 million ($4,800) to poor individuals and families, especially those affected by environmental problems.
The money was collected from ticket sales at the Toyota concert tour conducted in major cities like Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang.
