On the 30th March, the Mokpo branch of Shincheonji Volunteer Group launched the 'Green Mokpo' environmental campaign at the Peace Square, the main tourist attraction, in Mokpo City, South Jeolla Province, Republic of Korea.
Mokpo is a beautiful port city known for its vast ocean view. About 100 volunteers from the Mokpo branch of Shincheonji Volunteer Group took part in the campaign, encircling the 4.5 mile Yeongsangang River estuary bank in order to create a clean Mokpo through waste collection.
'Green, Mokpo' is one of the Mokpo branch's environmental purification activities that falls under the 'Green Nature' environmental campaign.
A tourist who visited Mokpo from Gwangju with his family over the weekend said, “I saw people wearing yellow vests gathered around, and they were volunteers picking up litter by looking into every crevice of the stones.”
A volunteer in his 60s who participates in activities every month said, “I often exercise at the Peace Square, and today I was able to kill two birds with one stone by picking up litter at the estuary bank and exercising.”
Branch manager Dong-jin Lee said, “We will continue to be the Mokpo branch that will work harder than anyone else to serve as the salt and light of society where it is needed.”
Meanwhile, the 'Green Nature' programme 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. This is a regular volunteer activity conducted by Shincheonji Volunteer Group throughout South Korea.
