The ‘Exchange Old Items for Gifts’ event encourages young people to bring clothes, recycled waste, and used batteries in exchange for eco-friendly gifts. The program runs from March 18 to 24, during which young people will build zero-waste lifestyles, sort waste at the source, and minimize household waste.

Furthermore, on March 19, a program titled ‘Exchange Recyclable Waste - Bring Lotus Home’ will take place in the lobby of the FPT University library. Participants can trade recyclable materials, including plastic bottles, clothing, and batteries, for mini lotus plants or items provided by sponsors. This initiative is designed to enhance environmental awareness among the youth.
