Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City conducted promotional activities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions targeting locations that participated in the 'Carbon Neutral Point System Excellent Apartment Selection' project.
The 'Carbon Neutral Point System' has been implemented since 2008 with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions through residents' voluntary energy saving and spreading low-carbon eco-friendly lifestyles.
Participants receive incentives (up to 50,000 points annually) based on the greenhouse gas reduction rate when they reduce usage of electricity, water supply, city gas, etc., at home or in apartment complexes.
The promotional targets are four apartment complexes with more than 300 households that participated in the 'Carbon Neutral Point System Excellent Apartment Project' announced in July: ▲Yongsan Gyeryong Rushville ▲Gwangju Grand Central ▲Naenam-dong Jinarichae 1st and 2nd phases.
Dong-gu visited the apartment complexes to actively promote carbon-neutral lifestyle practices and the Carbon Neutral Point System, encouraging residents to voluntarily practice greenhouse gas reduction through enrollment in the point system.
Additionally, Dong-gu plans to comprehensively evaluate the new enrollment rate in the Carbon Neutral Point System (energy), the updating of personal information, and promotional achievements for participating apartments by the 13th, and select excellent apartments for the Carbon Neutral Point System.
For apartments with more than 300 households selected as 'Carbon Neutral Point System Excellent Apartments,' greenhouse gas reduction project funds will be supported as follows: ▲Grand Prize 7 million KRW ▲Excellence Award 5 million KRW ▲Encouragement Award 1.5 million KRW; for apartments with fewer than 300 households, ▲Grand Prize 5 million KRW ▲Excellence Award 1.5 million KRW will be provided.
