  • Promoting Carbon Neutrality: Alongside the cleanup, volunteers used banners and promotional signboards for the "Make Nature Green" campaign, raising awareness about climate change response and resource recycling among industrial workers and commuters.

  • Worker Appreciation: Kim Seong-hoon (52, alias), a worker in the industrial complex, shared: "I am grateful to see the streets cleared of leaves and litter. I hope these community activities continue."


Sustaining Community Health and Environmental Awareness

Whether answering a neighbor's request in Suwon or spreading eco-friendly practices in Jeonju's industrial hub, these monthly efforts demonstrate a practical commitment to creating cleaner, healthier living spaces together with local residents.
