“Mottainai – 勿体無い” is understood as the practice of preventing waste through saving, reusing, and recycling resources, with gratitude for everything around us at its core. Originating from ancient Japanese wisdom, Mottainai has in recent years spread across the world as a gentle yet profound message to modern society, reminding us to cherish resources and respect the Earth.

What can we do with items that are no longer in use, with objects that are “wounded” and left lying quietly in a corner of the room? How can small changes in our personal lifestyles help reduce the burden on the planet?

With the return of “Một Tay Nải Xanh – Kilala Mottainai Day” in January 2026, we invite you to join Kilala on a journey to explore the Green Stations. At each station, you will find simple and creative suggestions and solutions that help all of us easily practice a green lifestyle in the spirit of Mottainai in our daily lives.

Blending into the atmosphere of the approaching spring, there will also be many cheerful activities to welcome the Lunar New Year of Bính Ngọ.

Bring your “tay nải” (traditional basket bag) and go green together with Kilala at Một Tay Nải Xanh – Kilala Mottainai Day, 4th edition.
