Protecting the environment is very important for our planet. We need to take care of
nature to keep the Earth clean and healthy. There are many simple things we can do to
help the environment. For example, we can recycle paper, plastic, and glass. Recycling
helps to reduce waste and save resources. Another way to protect the environment is to
save water. We should turn off the tap when brushing our teeth and take shorter showers.
Also, using less electricity can help. Turning off lights when we do not need them and
using energy-efficient bulbs can make a big difference.
In addition, planting trees is also very good for the environment. Trees clean the air and
provide homes for animals. They also help to keep the climate stable. We can all plant a
tree in our garden or join a community tree-planting event. Using public transport,
walking, or riding a bike instead of driving a car helps reduce pollution. Cars produce a
lot of harmful gases that pollute the air. By choosing other ways to travel, we can keep
the air clean and reduce our carbon footprint. Everyone can help protect the environment.
By making small changes in our daily lives, we can make a big difference for our planet.

thicker and have more attractive colours and patterns.
Weaving sedge mats is similar to growing rice. Long Dinh mat production mainly occurs
during the dry season, from January to April. Weavers have to work the hardest in May
and June; otherwise, when the rainy season starts in July, they will have to put off
finishing their products till the next dry season. No matter how much work it requires,
Long Dinh mat producers stick with this occupation, as it brings a higher income than
growing rice.
This trade provides employment for thousands of local labourers. At present, nearly
1,000 households in Long Dinh village live on weaving mats. To better meet market
demands, Long Dinh mat weavers have created many kinds of products besides the
traditional sedge mats.
