[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Go Dallyoung] The Saemaeul Movement Jinangun Branch (Branch Chief Lee Sangbong) recently announced on the 7th that, as part of the national life-saving movement to overcome climate and life crises, they sowed Kenaf seeds around the park in Ancheon-myeon and on vacant lots.

On that day, more than 40 people, including the heads of the Saemaeul Councils and Women's Associations from 11 towns and townships, as well as Saemaeul leaders, participated and planted 5,000 Kenaf plants.

Kenaf, an annual herbaceous plant, has a carbon dioxide absorption rate about 10 times that of the sawtooth oak, and has been proposed as a practical measure for the drastic reduction of greenhouse gases.

Branch Chief Lee Sangbong said, "The seeds we planted will be a small action that can solve global warming and are expected to contribute to farm income," adding, "We will continue to carry out the national life-saving movement continuously."

Meanwhile, after finishing the Kenaf planting, the group visited the farm of Lee Geumchun in Ancheon-myeon as a win-win exchange activity to respond to the rural labor shortage during the busy farming season caused by restrictions on the entry of foreign seasonal workers due to the aftermath of COVID-19, helping with pepper seedling planting and sharing difficulties.
