This environmental campaign was held by the Shincheonji Volunteer Group Pocheon Branch to mark ‘World Environment Day’ (5th June) - a global annual commemoration that raises awareness of the gravity of environmental issues and encourages action - on the theme of this year’s World Environment Day, “Ending Plastic Pollution.”

The campaign informed citizens of the importance of environmental protection and to provide them with practical ways to practise it in their daily lives through experience. In particular, participants were able to reflect on their usual recycling habits and learn the correct way to separate and dispose of waste. Citizens who participated in all activities were given a potted succulent plant as a souvenir, conveying the message, “Let’s cherish the environment as much as we cherish our companion plants.”

Meanwhile, the carbon neutral campaign is held as part of the ‘Green Nature’ campaign, whose ultimate goal is to preserve a beautiful natural environment for posterity through wetland conservation activities, environmental cleanups that protect major facilities and cultural assets, disaster recovery activities, public awareness campaigns for environmental protection, and the creation of flower paths in waste dumping areas.
