If every Vietnamese student plants a tree and paints a picture of the environment, in just a few years can we create the largest green revolution in Vietnam's urban history?
At a time when climate change, air pollution and plastic waste are becoming hot keywords globally, a seemingly simple program is creating a special effect in Ho Chi Minh City.
It is the national painting contest "Green City - Beautiful as in a picture" initiated by Nguyen Thanh Ha, combined with the project of planting 1,000 trees in response to World Environment Day 2026.
What makes this program different is not the prize or the size of the organization.
What creates attraction is how art is turned into practical action.
A painting is no longer just for hanging on the wall.
A tree is no longer just a symbol.
The two are being connected to form a vibrant environmental message for the younger generation.
Why Is This Competition Attention?
According to the Organizing Committee, the entries focus on topics that are very close to life
Plant green trees
Save water
Garbage classification
Reduce plastic waste
Protect rivers
Building green urban areas
Sustainable living space
Instead of dry lectures, children and young people are encouraged to tellEnvironmental stories with colors and emotions.

When A Beauty Queen Doesn't Just Go To Events
For many years, many people thought that celebrities' environmental activities were just a formality.
But Nguyen Thanh Ha's case goes in a different direction.
After being crowned Miss World Environment 2023, she continuously appeared in projects related to environmental education, reducing plastic waste, preserving nature and inspiring green living for young people.
One of the most shared statements at the launching ceremony was:
"When people know how to love a leaf, they will not have the heart to hurt the whole forest."
It's not just a media statement.
That is a new way of looking at environmental education.
Instead of forcing behavioral change, the program chooses to awaken emotions.
The Young Generation's Green Race is Starting
What is most notable is that competitions of this type are appearing more and more in Vietnam.
From school tree planting programs, agricultural product traceability projects, and carbon creditsforests to corporate CO2 emission reduction campaigns.
A new generation is being formed.
A generation that doesn't just talk about the environment.
They started to act.
And sometimes that action simply starts with a colored box, a white sheet of paper or a green tree planted in the ground.
What Is A Real Green City Built From?
Nguyen Thanh Ha gave a message that made many people think
"A green city is not built with concrete or glass and steel, but is built from the green consciousness in every human heart."
It sounds simple.
But looking at the reality of environmental pollution, urban flooding, plastic waste and air quality in many big cities, this is perhaps the most difficult thing to build.
Because technology can be bought.
Trees can be planted.
But a sense of community takes years to form.
And perhaps today's paintings are the first bricks for that journey.
In 10 years, will the children holding brushes to paint "Green City" today become the generation of leaders who create the most livable cities in Vietnam?
