For this week’s readings, it talks about the redevelopment or rebranding of the country Vietnam. The national aesthetics of Vietnam has continue to become a bit more apparent along the years of its upward economic success in sustainable coffee and the controls of emissions of Greenhouse Gas. These types of investment will make the country seem more sustainable and natural ever since the Vietnam war and the large doses of Agent Orange in nearby villages. For lower emissions of carbon, Vietnam has to be using solar panels as a source of energy than having to use gas. Solar panels uses the sun’s rays as a source of energy and if the government can invest more into it, they do not have to rely on gasoline and oils to run factories. Vietnam “is the second largest coffee producer after Brazil” because the coffee beans are one of the largest crops grown in the country after rice. It is a long process that requires a whole year because they rely on rainwater to irrigate the plants. If the government can invest into recycling water, it would make the process much easier.
Question: In what other ways can Vietnam become a much more sustainable country?
