Shincheonji Volunteer Group's Gangdong Branch promotes carbon neutrality outside Olympic Park, Seoul


“I thought I was doing a good job of separating waste, but I wasn't doing so properly. Now that I know the proper way, I'll put it into practice right away.”

These are the words of a citizen who participated in the carbon neutrality campaign 'Promise You', held by the Gangdong branch of Shincheonji Volunteer Group near the 2nd North Gate of Olympic Park in Seoul on 1st June.

This campaign was held as continuation of the nationwide carbon neutrality campaigns held by Shincheonji Volunteer Group since the 54th 'Earth Day' (22nd April), a day designated in 1970 to call on governments, communities, and businesses to take action for nature conservation and a healthier Earth.

The purpose of the nationwide carbon neutrality campaign held by Shincheonji Volunteer Group is to inform citizens of the dangers of abnormal climate issues and to encourage the practice of carbon neutrality.

The Gangdong branch promoted carbon neutrality by installing a 5m-long large billboard near the second north gate of Olympic Park. On that day, carbon neutrality practice measures were introduced through a carbon neutrality photo exhibition, introduction of the carbon neutrality point system, quizzes and various experience booths.

After taking the carbon neutrality quiz with her parents, one child who participated in the campaign said, “I learned that climate problems are occurring because the Earth is in pain,” and “I need to help my mum do a better job of separating waste.”

Meanwhile, the carbon neutrality campaign is also being held as part of Shincheonji Volunteer Group's 'Green Nature' environmental programme, which strives to pass on a beautiful environment as a legacy to posterity through wetland conservation activities, environmental clean-ups to protect major facilities and cultural assets, environmental recovery, environmental protection public interest campaigns, and the creation of flower paths in illegal waste dumping areas.
