Pulmuone Launches 'Children's Jupging' Environmental Protection Challenge Picking Up Trash While Jogging

[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Saeng-hye] Pulmuone is launching a new "contactless environmental protection project" in response to the COVID-19 era.

On the 7th, Pulmuone announced that it will carry out the children's environmental protection practice project, "Children's Jupging 1st Term with Pulmuone Foundation," for 100 days starting today.

The new environmental protection project "Children's Jupging" by the nonprofit public interest organization Pulmuone Foundation is a 100-day challenge where children and their parents jog together while picking up trash and certify it on the mobile app "Kakao Project 100." "Jupging" is a compound word of "picking up trash" and "jogging," referring to an environmental protection activity that prevents household waste from flowing into the ocean by picking up trash while jogging or walking.

The Pulmuone Foundation established the Children's Jupging project to provide children and parents with time to think about the environment while picking up trash in their neighborhoods. At schools, the "Blue Sea Classroom," a theoretical education program for marine environmental protection, is conducted to provide time to think about the environment, and in daily life, environmental protection can be practiced through "Children's Jupging."

Children in elementary school grade 6 or below and their parents form a team, with a total of 100 teams challenging the 100-day certification from the 7th to December 15. They pick up trash, take certification photos, and register them on the mobile app "Kakao Project 100." The Pulmuone Foundation plans to regularly upload content created for online environmental education to continuously motivate participants.

Kim Yu-byeol, head of the lifestyle education project at Pulmuone Foundation, said, "Marine environmental pollution is at a serious level due to urban waste inflow, and disposable waste has become severe due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic," adding, "The newly established 'Children's Jupging' allows children to practice environmental protection in daily life contactlessly and to think about environmental issues."
