Shincheonji Volunteer Group Guri-Namyangju Branch Promotes Carbon Neutrality with Citizen-Led Eco Campaign
The Shincheonji Volunteer Group Guri-Namyangju Branch (Director: Kang Chang-hoon) hosted an interactive environmental campaign near Dasan Station on October 18, engaging local residents in hands-on activities to raise awareness about carbon neutrality and the importance of resource recycling.
This event was part of the branch’s ongoing “Dasan Station Carbon Neutrality Initiative,” which aims to inspire citizens to take simple, eco-friendly actions that can be easily practiced in daily life.
Learning by Doing: From Awareness to Action
At the event site, volunteers set up several educational and experiential stations designed to help participants understand and practice sustainable living.
-
Information boards explained the concept and necessity of carbon neutrality in easy-to-understand language.
-
A “Mountain of Waste” visual exhibit illustrated the environmental impact of excessive waste generation.
-
Additional displays introduced the 4R movement — Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle — encouraging participants to incorporate these principles into their routines.
To connect theory with practice, volunteers organized an upcycling craft booth using discarded sock loops, where participants could create keychains, hair ties, and coasters from recycled materials. The booth drew enthusiastic participation, especially from families with children.
A Community That Acts for the Planet
One participant, Kim Mi-jung (39, Dasan-dong, Namyangju), shared,
“It was meaningful to experience this with my child. It reminded me that even small actions matter when it comes to protecting the environment.”
A representative from the Guri-Namyangju Branch emphasized,
“Carbon neutrality doesn’t start with big changes — it begins with reusing what we might otherwise throw away. We’ll continue hosting community-centered campaigns that empower citizens to lead environmental action.”
Through ongoing initiatives like this, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group Guri-Namyangju Branch continues to build momentum toward a sustainable, low-carbon society, demonstrating that collective small steps can create lasting change.
