[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Jindo County recently announced on the 15th that it conducted a large-scale environmental clean-up campaign with the participation of all county residents to commemorate the '25th Environment Day.'

The environmental clean-up campaign, which began in 2014, is a key policy promoted by Jindo County. It is a resident-led voluntary participation movement where residents themselves maintain the surrounding environment to create clean and beautiful villages.

In this event, about 2,100 participants including county residents, institutions, organizations, and public officials collected 11 tons of trash from rivers, roadsides, and major tourist sites.

The county enforced mandatory mask-wearing for attendees and strictly implemented social distancing measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during the event.

An official from Jindo County's Environment and Forestry Department said, "We thank all residents for actively participating in creating a clean and beautiful environment," and added, "We will make further efforts to ensure that the environmental clean-up campaign, now in its seventh year, becomes fully established as a cultural practice."
