The British Council “I am Green” campaign month has successfully come to an end. Four competitions, two environmental talks and one film show took place during the month which attracted over 400 entries and 200 attendants from different locations of Vietnam. Quality of the entries was very good. Prizes were given to 18 winners of the competitions in the North and 16 winners in the South. A special thing is that all entries of the “Green Tip box competition” were submitted on recycled papers. This shows that the campaign has been able to raise people’s awareness about the environment. All the green tips and ideas have been handed to the British Council Green Team to be considered for use in the office.
