Abstract

Our living environment is increasingly polluted, not only because the amount of resources is increasingly being indiscriminately exploited, there are still many forms of production that pollute the environment, toxic substances which are difficult to decompose into the environment because of not-good human consciousness of some people. The improper collection and classification of daily-life waste is an issue that needs to be addressed. Besides, the situation of indiscriminate garbage disposal and many serious environmental pollution points is formed. Some people even bring domestic waste, dead animal carcasses to rivers and lakes right where they live. Facing the increasing risks of natural environmental pollution, Vietnam needs to promote the education of environmental protection awareness for all people in general and primary school students in particular. Students are the future generation of the country, are the decisive owners for the development of the whole society and are also the people most affected by natural resources and the environment. The article uses survey methods and analyzes data from journals and recent studies. The results show that we need to take action today so that students feel responsible for protecting resources and the environment for a clean and green world.
