Governor Jang said, "We can protect the environment simply by reducing single-use products," adding, "I will reduce the use of single-use cups and PET bottles in daily life, meetings, and events, and increase the use of reusable cups and tumblers."
Governor Jang posted a pledge to reduce single-use products along with photos on his personal SNS and nominated Cho Hyun-myung, president of Gyeongnam Provincial Namhae College, as the next participant in the campaign.
