Protecting rivers
starting in
Vietnam
The Saigon Green Group is committed not only to collecting and recycling waste from the rivers in Saigon but also to changing the community's perception of the importance of environmental protection. Through advocating and promoting community actions towards sustainability, we aim to expand our influence across Vietnam and the world.
42,582 kg of plastics collected
32 villages cleaned
12 Barriers installed
371 community cleanups organized
We believe trash barriers are the quickest and most cost effective way to eradicate plastic pollution by activating communities on land. Rivers are the perfect connection point between life on land and our ocean.
We organize emergency cleanups at illegal dumps and along riverbanks to prevent plastic from entering rivers as well as work on enforcing proper waste management at the local level.
MAPPING OUR WORK
To better track the sources of plastic pollution, we are dedicated to collecting as much data as possible about rivers and trash illegal landfills (in red). We use our barriers (in blue) and cleanups (in green) as a tool to work with communities and governments to improve local waste management practices.
Help us install the next 1,000 Barriers to clean the
world’s most polluted rivers!
To achieve this substantial goal, we need your help!
Here is how you can help us get there:
