Shocking pollution in Ly Son Island

Ly Son is the only island district of Quang Ngai, located northeast, 15 nautical miles from the mainland. The district is divided into 3 communes: An Vinh (district capital - Dao Lon), An Hai (Big Island) and An Binh (Be island). With geology, topography and landscape formed by volcanic eruptions millions of years ago, Ly Son is also likened to Korea's Jeju Island.

About 2 years ago, from a pristine island with few tourists, Ly Son has become the most popular footprint and check-in place by young people. The change since Ly Son strongly developed about tourism made many people worried about the future of a green paradise.

Just like beaches in Central Vietnam, the beach in Ly Son is very beautiful in the right sense: Blue Sea - white sand - golden sunshine. But the path to these paradise beaches seems to be less mentioned in the ecstatic beautiful pictures introduced to Ly Son, because that is the way in which the huge amount of garbage filled along the length of the route. Street. Dozens of tons of garbage are dropped by people in the residential area every day, so those who pass by are afraid.

The whole road leading to the Tochu gate smells badly as the amount of waste is getting bigger and bigger.

The population of over 20,000 people and the number of tourists every year increases, the 10km ² Ly Son island district is seriously polluted because the waste is thrown into the sea indifferently, making the source of coral, algae and seafood resources near the island is almost exhausted.

Because there is no waste treatment yard on the island, nearly 20,000 local people and tourists each discharge rubbish directly into the sea. Estimates of tens of tons of garbage are thrown down every day. Ly Son District People's Committee mobilized people to bury garbage or burn themselves in the garden. However, people have not yet implemented thoroughly because of the large population, narrow area and habit of discharging waste into the sea for many years, it is difficult to change.

Garbage is filled close to the edge of the sea.

The huge landfills became heavier and smoother on hot days, making it impossible for tourists to cope. Ms. Kim Thoa, a tourist coming to the island on the occasion of September 2, said: "Luy Son has many beautiful landscapes, clear beaches, that I do not deny, but behind the natural landscapes. That beautiful landmark is a huge landfill along the roads in the residential area, every time you want to go to the beach or go to Thoi Loi Mountain, the Hang Cau is subject to the "torture" stench on the way. If this situation cannot be overcome, it is difficult for tourists to return to Ly Son ".

At present, there is only one waste collection and treatment team operating in An Vinh commune, this collection team collects ' rolling' from Dong village to Tay village, it takes 2 days for this collection team to move. to all areas of two villages of An Vinh commune to collect. Particularly, An Hai commune is a locality which does not yet have an operation team to collect garbage, daily more than 10 tons of domestic waste is put into the sea by people in An Hai commune to pollute the marine environment seriously.

In June 2015, the solid waste treatment plant in Ly Son island, Quang Ngai province was completed and put into use. People on the island expect the factory to overcome the environmental pollution caused by untreated domestic waste. But after operating, the processing plant only reaches 1.5 tons of waste per day, and the process of classification and treatment of waste is by manual method.

Flexible solid waste disposal houses are invested over VND 30 billion but Factory workers must use plastic baskets to put waste into incinerators.(Photo: Lao Dong).

Waste that is not treated will be spilled across the campus of the solid waste treatment plant on Ly Son island.(Photo: Lao Dong).

Moreover, the situation of tourism on the island has been boosted, the number of tourists is increasing, the problem of waste is even more serious because some tourists lack awareness and also because "seeing people should discharge well. . discharge according to " , so at the port of port, beautiful landscapes on Ly Son have also formed many landfills.
