This campaign was promoted to raise awareness and build consensus for reducing the use of single-use products in daily life, and Minister of Environment Han Hwa-jin was the first to start the challenge in February.

The campaign proceeds by participants pledging to reduce the use of single-use products, posting photos with the message on SNS, and nominating the next participant.
