After over six hours, more than 400 students completed a mural of over 100m length and1.5m width, the longest environmental painting in Vietnam.

Hundreds of students who are members of 20 Go Green clubs gathered at Hanoi University of Technology in the morning of November 29 to take part.

The mural, 112 meters long and 1.5 meters tall, broke the previous record for the longest painting in Vietnam. The first record was set in Nha Trang with a 100-meter long, 1.4-meter high mural.

The new painting highlights the problems of global warming, air pollution, and logging; as well as environmental solutions for a greener future. In addition to illustrating environmental problems, students were encouraged to express hopes for a better, more beautiful future in the images they created.

The Record Environment Painting Festival was co-organized by Toyota Vietnam, the General Department of Environment and the Ministry of Education and Training to raise awareness amongst youth about protecting the country’s environment.

The event also featured several games and music performances, which encouraged young people to become environmental advocates.
