Shincheonji Volunteer Group Goyang Branch Sustains Long-Term Eco Care for Changneungcheon Stream

Shincheonji Volunteer Group Goyang Branch Partnered with 30-Year Local Conservation Advocates to Repeatedly Eradicate Ecosystem-Disturbing Invasive Plants Along Changneungcheon Stream 💬 "Rather than a single environmental event held just for show, visiting the necessary site repeatedly and providing continuous care is what truly matters." — Official from Shincheonji Volunteer Group Goyang Branch Environmental cleanup along urban rivers rarely yields long-term results through a single session.

Following official guidelines from the National Institute of Ecology—which emphasize repeated removal and post-cleanup monitoring—the Shincheonji Volunteer Group Goyang Branch has adopted a "repeat visit" model to ensure the genuine ecological recovery of Changneungcheon Stream in Goyang.

[Life] Potatoes are in Season!

In Korea, potatoes are in season during the summer time. I used to prefer sweet potatoes over potatoes and ate a lot of sweet potatoes in the summer. However, I got to like potatoes better these days. I think I got sick of sweet potatoes because I had them too much.

One day at work, my coworkers brought some potatoes which he raise from his weekend farm. On that very day, I made chicken dish which goes well with potatoes. Though the main ingredient is chicken, potato was so good that I ate more potatoes than chicken. I sent him a text message praising his potatoes. It was so kind of him that he brought more potatoes for me. Thanks to him, I am blessed with potatoes that are in season!

Potatoes are easy to grow. That is why there are many people who raise potatoes in their weekend farms in Korea. Because of abundance, people ask about good ways to consume potatoes every summer. In Korea, people enjoy boiled potato, potato soup, potato pancake (savory flavor), fish dish with potato, chicken dish with potato, and salads.

Potato is very common ingredients around the world. There are tons of different recipes for potato. And depending on the culture, people eat potatoes differently.

What is your favorite way of having potato?
