Gwangyang-si Launches Online Campaign for '2020 Eco-Friendly Transportation Week'

Mobile Culture Gift Cards to be Awarded to 50 Participants Selected by Draw Until the 29th

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Gwangyang City announced on the 16th that, together with the Gwangyang Climate Environment Network, it will conduct an online campaign for citizens as part of the ‘2020 Eco-friendly Transportation Week’ until the 29th.

Eco-friendly Transportation Week is a nationwide low-carbon practice movement aimed at saving energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by refraining from driving passenger cars.

This year, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, no in-person events will be held, and the campaign will be conducted online.

To participate, citizens can post their use of eco-friendly transportation (bicycles, eco-friendly vehicles, buses) and eco-friendly driving activities on their own SNS (Facebook, Instagram, affiliated bands, etc.) and send a verification photo via email to the Gwangyang Climate Environment Network by the 29th.

The city plans to widely promote the purpose of the campaign and encourage citizen participation by selecting 50 people through a draw from the emails received during Eco-friendly Transportation Week and awarding them mobile cultural gift certificates. The winners will be announced on October 5th at 3 p.m.

Kim Jae-hee, Director of the Environment Division, said, “If eco-friendly driving habits (such as avoiding sudden starts, rapid acceleration, and sudden deceleration while driving, maintaining an economical speed of 60?80 km/h, and regularly inspecting and maintaining vehicles) are practiced, it can reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as save fuel costs and prevent traffic accidents.” He added, “We ask for active participation in the Eco-friendly Transportation Week campaign.”

Meanwhile, Gwangyang City is actively working to reduce greenhouse gases by promoting the distribution of eco-friendly vehicles and expanding infrastructure.
