These are the words of Ms. Yeon Ha-neul, who was passing by Sonamu Road in Jungnang neighbourhood, Cheongju City, Republic of Korea, while handing out snacks to the members of the Cheongju branch of Shincheonji Volunteer Group on the 16th July.

The environmental activity, conducted by around 50 volunteers, is part of the 'Green Nature' campaign and was held at the request of the Jungnang Neighbourhood Administrative Welfare Centre.

Following the environmental cleanup activity, a carbon neutral campaign was carried out, focusing on the Pine Tree Road and Youth Plaza, which are frequented by Cheongju citizens.

Min-cheol Park, who participated in the campaign, said, “I'm glad that I learned about carbon neutrality through the campaign. I think I'll be able to practise it well in the future.”

An official from the Jungnang Neighbourhood Administrative Welfare Centre said, “We hope that this activity will provide an opportunity for citizens to lead more pleasant lives and gain interest in carbon neutrality.”

After this day of volunteer work, the Cheongju branch and Jungnang Neighbourhood Administrative Welfare Centre agreed to conduct environmental clean-up activities in the Jungnang neighbourhood area twice a month.

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.
