Learning Recycling Through Games: Shincheonji Volunteer Group Gwangmyeong Branch Engages Citizens in Carbon-Neutral Action

The Shincheonji Volunteer Group Gwangmyeong Branch (branch leader Jeon Min-jung) held a unique environmental campaign on November 16 at Cheolsan Station Exit 2 — replacing stiff, classroom-style education with a fun, game-based learning experience. The result was strong citizen participation and a fresh approach to carbon-neutral living.


Turning Recycling Education Into a Fun Game

Instead of handing out leaflets, the volunteers created a hands-on activity using:

  • 6 miniature recycling bins (cans, glass, plastic, paper, general waste, food waste)

  • 300 object-recognition cards

Citizens picked a random card and matched it to the correct bin. Through this simple game, people naturally learned correct recycling rules — something many thought they already knew, but often misunderstood.

A volunteer from Gwangmyeong Branch, Im Myeong-ae (69), said,

“It was touching to see people listen and immediately try to practice what they learned. I also want to keep accurate recycling habits to leave a clean earth for the next generation.”

Citizen Kim Hee-sun (32) added,

“I thought I already knew recycling well, but I was wrong. Through the game I learned that transparent cups are recyclable and colored cups are plastic. I will sort them properly from now on.”

Promoting the ‘Climate Guard’ App for Everyday Eco-Action

The branch also introduced the ‘Climate Guard Carbon Savings’ app, which turns eco-friendly actions into reward points that can be used as local currency. Volunteers provided pamphlets with easy instructions to help citizens join on the spot.

This approach connected environmental protection with real benefits for community life.



Why Game-Based Recycling Works

A Gwangmyeong Branch representative explained,

“We created a program that makes recycling an enjoyable daily habit, not a burden. One person practicing proper recycling can reduce carbon emissions in a meaningful, cumulative way.”

The activity showed that when learning is fun, participation becomes natural — especially with an issue as important as carbon neutrality.


Continuing Monthly Carbon-Neutral Volunteer Work

The Gwangmyeong Branch plans to continue holding carbon-neutral campaigns once a month.
Later this month, volunteers will join a cleanup and wildfire-prevention campaign at Dodeok Mountain, expanding their contribution to a cleaner, safer community.
