Shincheonji Volunteer Group Seoul-Southern Gyeonggi Branch, 'Carbon Neutrality Practice Encouragement Campaign' 110,000 Practices
Various countries are adopting numerous policies to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 as a means of limiting global warming and climate change.
In South Korea, one organisation in particular sympathises with the severity of the climate crisis and has organised a 'Carbon Neutrality Practice Encouragement Campaign' to spread the practice of carbon-neutral lifestyles. It is the Shincheonji Volunteer Group.
From April to December last year, the Seoul-Southern Gyeonggi Branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group recorded approximately 112,398 practices, playing a meaningful role in reducing carbon emissions.
During the campaign period, it has encouraged members to participate in the carbon-neutral practice points system.
The Carbon Neutral Practice Point System is a system established by the Ministry of Environment. It encourages various eco-friendly activities such as issuing electronic receipts, using tumblers and reusable cups, disposing of high-quality recyclables, and returning discarded mobile phones by issuing points that can be used like cash.
Ye-won Park (32, female), who practiced 141 times over the course of about 7 months, said, “I heard that it is not good to change coffee tumblers too often, so I am still using the one I bought 8 years ago.” She added, “Thanks to this campaign, I was able to turn what I had only thought about into actual participation.”
Meanwhile, the Seoul-Southern Gyeonggi Branch intends to continue practising carbon neutrality practices steadily in 2025 by creating an atmosphere where active steps are prioritised.
