Hello!
I am Tung

We are from 350 Vietnam
We’re very excited about the upcoming Switch Camp of 350 Indonesia
I guess that you have been working so hard the last few months for this,
but I assure you that the results will be worthwhile
Last year, we had our “I am a Climate Citizen” workshop
as part of Vietnam Power Shift,
and we worked so *** it
it was so stressful
but at the end we had the chance to work with 60 climate leaders
from throughout the country
And now those climate leaders, those young people, are fighting
for us, for our movement, in 20 provinces and cities throughout Vietnam
So it’s so worth it
And I hope that after coming back from Switch Camp, you will also
be climate leaders in your own neighborhood, in your own communities,
and move 350 Indonesia movement to the next level
At 350, we do not only try to change the policy, but we also bring solutions as well
In Vietnam, we are installing the solar bottle,
which is cheap, and bring free lighting for poor people
And we’re working on solar cookers, which are very cheap in costs and can be used in every home
And I wish you, 350 Indonesia, you can create more great solutions for your community
Just like 350 global, 350 Vietnam and Indonesia are working
on a very challenging issue to fight fossil fuels
Although coal does have very bad impacts on
human health, environment and
is one of the major factors to cause climate change, Vietnam is building more coal plants
And we even have to import coal from your country - Indonesia
350 Vietnam & 350 Indonesia have to work together to stop it
We’re young and brave. We’ll speak up for climate justice.
We’re creative. We can use many different platforms
like arts, video, music … to spread out our messages in a cool way
We’re happy that we live in an era where the Internet and social media are
connecting us everywhere in the world and empower us to try to solve the climate crisis
All the work that we have done could not be possible without
volunteers like me and you and everyone that
shares the same passion and belief in shifting to build a better world
Two years ago, I was so lucky to attend the 350 Leadership Workshop in Bogor, Indonesia
I love your country, people, natural and cultural beauties
But I know that climate change will affect all of us
I want you to stand up and fight to protect those beauties
Let’s take our stand for our own survival
Together we will shift the power
