Lecturers use personal water bottles to get drinking water in the teachers' room or the lecture hall's duty room. Lecture halls , canteens, dormitories, schoolyards and living areas of staff, lecturers and students must strictly implement the maximum restriction on the use of plastic bags, replacing plastic bags with paper bags or environmentally friendly cloth bags, not using plastic straws but instead using bamboo straws or stainless steel straws. Staff, lecturers and students should actively bring personal water bottles to use instead of using disposable bottles, bring bowls, chopsticks, food containers to replace foam boxes, plastic bags and disposable plastic food containers. Staff and lecturers who order office meals should choose suppliers that use stainless steel containers instead of foam boxes, both ensuring health and not harming the environment. At the same time, staff, lecturers and students in the whole school proactively classify reusable waste into waste sorting bins...

To implement this regulation, Dai Nam University has planned to give reusable water bottles to all staff and lecturers of the school; directed the Administration Department to survey and supplement large glass water bottles to serve staff in meeting rooms.

The school also assigned the Student Management Department, Youth Union, and Communications Department to coordinate with mass organizations in the school to propagate and mobilize staff, lecturers, and students to carry out effective, practical, and sustainable environmental protection programs.

The environmental protection program "For a clean Hanoi" of Dai Nam University attracted the participation of hundreds of staff, lecturers and students.
