Community project - The Life of Waste

Community project – The Life of Waste

Daily activities, business activities, production, tourism, and entertainment generate waste. Garbage is all around us. What makes the difference is their location! Are they in the right place? Where will they come from, and where will they go? What changes will come when they are identified and treated differently?
 
We launched the community project The Life of Waste, which aims to find answers to these questions by simply capturing moments of waste. These moments are recorded at different times of the day, week, month, and in various places. The project is being implemented first in the Hoan Kiem area, Hanoi.

The aim

Little moments – Big motivation
 
The project captures the moments of waste so that the community can have a familiar and also a strange view of the streets and corners that we pass every day, where things that are not put in the right place. Remind yourself of the things you can change to make these moments more beautiful daily.
