[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Busan City is distributing environmental education textbooks and teaching aids for free to students who are spending more time 'staying at home' due to the local spread of COVID-19.

The textbooks being distributed this time include a total of five types, such as ▲Busan National Geopark with Textbooks, which Busan City directly developed for UNESCO Geopark certification, ▲Resource Circulation Road 96-gil, ▲Fine Dust Alert SOS, ▲Pop-up Book on the Natural Environment of Busan We Didn't Know, and ▲Eulsukdo Ecological Exploration.

Applications for free textbooks and teaching aids can be made on the Busan Environmental Education Center website until the 4th of next month. The application quantity is limited to one set per household for each textbook and teaching aid, and free same-day delivery will be made immediately upon application. Busan City plans to distribute a total of 5,000 sets.

Lee Joon-seung, Director of Environmental Policy at Busan City, said, "With the recent implementation of social distancing level 2, students have been attending both in-person and remote classes," adding, "We hope that the free provision of these environmental education textbooks and teaching aids will increase interest in the importance of the environment among children at home and serve as an opportunity to widely promote the Busan National Geopark."

Busan City has been operating the Busan Environmental Education Center and developing environmental education textbooks and teaching aids linked to the curriculum every year in collaboration with active teachers. This year, they are additionally developing textbooks and teaching aids on climate change and water environment.
