Dobong-gu Selects 103 'Energy Good Stores'

Dobong Citizen Action Group Members Inspect Energy Usage at Over 500 Local Stores... Award-Winning Shops Attach Energy-Saving Product Certification Stickers... Published on Website... Expanding to 10,000 'Energy-Friendly Stores' by 2050

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dobong-gu (Mayor Dongjin Lee) publicly announced on the 4th that 103 “Energy Good Stores” in our neighborhood actively participated in the Green Life strategy goal of “reducing greenhouse gases by 4 tons per person.”

The district promoted the selection project for Energy Good Stores from August to October in connection with the implementation of the “2050 Dobong-gu Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategy (7 Strategies for Promoting Green New Deal and Achieving Carbon Neutrality by 2050)” announced last September.

Accordingly, 120 members of the Dobong Citizens’ Action Group, an environmental organization in Dobong-gu, directly visited about 500 neighborhood retail stores such as convenience stores, laundries, and general stores they usually use to repeatedly check ▲whether air conditioning was operated with doors open ▲whether indoor temperature was properly set ▲whether they were registered for Eco Mileage. After review by a committee composed of environmental groups and public officials, 103 businesses were finally selected.

The list of selected stores was published on the Dobong-gu website on the 4th.

The Dobong Citizens’ Action Group presented energy-saving products to the selected “Energy Good Stores” and directly attached “Energy Good Store” certification stickers to the entrances of the retail stores.

The representative of “NEW Changdong○○○○,” selected as an Energy Good Store, said, “I am very pleased to be selected as an Energy Good Store. I always pay special attention to saving energy when operating the store, and since I was not registered for Eco Mileage (group sector), I took this opportunity to register on site. I hope more Energy Good Stores will appear in our Dobong-gu in the future.”

Mayor Dongjin Lee of Dobong-gu said, “We plan to continuously monitor and evaluate energy use in retail stores in the district. Excellent stores will be selected and promoted as ‘Energy Good Stores’ to boost pride, and stores with shortcomings will receive energy consulting to encourage them to become good stores. We plan to select 10,000 ‘Energy Good Stores’ by 2050, so we ask residents to show interest and support for Energy Good Stores.”
