[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Hapcheon-gun Volunteer Center in Gyeongnam announced on the 19th that about 15 members of the 2030 Youth Volunteer Group participated in and operated the 'Nikang Naekang' event, a 'plogging' activity involving walking while picking up trash.

On this day, the program proceeded in the order of walking from the Daeyaseong Theme Square to the Hapcheon-gun Culture and Arts Center, picking up trash discarded on the road, sorting it into pre-prepared recycling bins, and writing a 'Carbon Neutrality Pledge' to practice carbon neutrality.

The program was planned as a joint action campaign for carbon reduction by the volunteer centers of 18 cities and counties in Gyeongnam Province, aiming to participate in the 2050 Carbon Neutral National Policy.

Lee Gyu-su, the head of the Administration Department, said, "Plogging activities are the first step toward carbon neutrality, and small practices will come together to exert great power," and added, "It is very meaningful that young people are participating in efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050," offering words of encouragement.
