The Hanoi Environmental Group (HEG) is in full swing after its official launch party at Joma Bakery Café on February 18th, 2011.

The party incorporated an eco-trade fair that promoted exhibitors of eco friendly, sustainable and local products and services. HEG also made sure to keep things upbeat and fun with live music and a DJ, food and wine tastings, door prizes, silent auctions and a short film. Joma was packed with socially and environmentally progressive people, from the local and foreign community, that are keen to be part of creating a greener Hanoi. The launch party was a great success that showcased and supported the many great initiative Hanoi has to offer.

For those who have not heard about HEG, it is a “social network interested in resolving growing environmental issues by building cooperation between individuals, private sector, foreign and local government agencies and NGO’s. HEG is taking direct action to create a greener Hanoi today!” HEG is open to anyone who is passionate about creating a greener Hanoi through action. If you want to start your own initiative, you are encouraged to use HEG’s meetings, website, media and email to launch your ideas.
