[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Geumcheon-gu has deployed safety guardians at all elementary schools in the area to create a safe route for students to go to and from school.

On the 17th, Yuseonghun, the mayor of Geumcheon-gu, inspected the traffic facilities around Gasan Elementary School's school routes and encouraged the safety guardian workers.

Geumcheon-gu has assigned 250 "Elementary School Safe Route Guardians" to 18 elementary schools in the area. They are responsible for ensuring safe commutes by guiding traffic safety at key points such as crosswalks.

The elementary school safe route guardians consist of local seniors dispatched from the Geumcheon Senior Club and Geumcheon Hoam Senior Welfare Center, which are organizations promoting the senior employment project "Senior Social Activity Support Project" led by Geumcheon-gu.

Mayor Yuseonghun of Geumcheon-gu said, "The traffic guidance by the safety guardians will greatly help prevent traffic accidents during school commutes," and added, "We will continue to do our best to create school routes where both children and parents can feel safe."

On the afternoon of the 17th, Chaehyunil, mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, attended a meeting of the residents' council of the Yeouido apartment district, including Mokhwa and Hanyang Apartments, held in the large auditorium on the 4th floor of Yeoui-dong Community Center.

Mayor Chae stated that he will work hard to ensure that the reconstruction schedule of the Yeouido apartment district proceeds without any setbacks and will cooperate more closely with Seoul City and related organizations.

No Hyun-song, mayor of Gangseo-gu, Seoul, joined the "No Excessive Packaging, No Purchase" challenge on the 17th.

On that morning, Mayor No held up a sign with a slogan for participating in the challenge in his office, appealing for active participation from residents in the waste reduction campaign.

This challenge is a campaign started with the purpose of reducing waste by cutting down on excessive packaging and single-use items in daily life, and further realizing a carbon-neutral circular economy.

Mayor No Hyun-song said, "Due to the impact of COVID-19, a large amount of delivery packaging and single-use items have been generated, becoming a serious social problem," and added, "I ask all residents to refrain from using single-use items to protect the global environment and to make sure to recycle properly when disposing of them."

Having been nominated by Kim Sooyoung, mayor of Yangcheon-gu, No Hyun-song of Gangseo-gu nominated Yoo Deok-yeol, mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, and Lee Seung-ro, mayor of Seongbuk-gu, as the next participants to continue the challenge.
