Pulmuone Recruiting College Student Mentors for Environmental Project 'Gat-i Green'

[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Pulmuone announced on the 4th that it is recruiting university student mentors to participate in ‘Gatgigreun,’ an environmental education donation program jointly conducted by the ‘Korea University Student Education Donation Group’ and the ‘Nara Sarang Youth Forum’ nonprofit organization.

‘Gatgigreun’ is an environmental project where university student mentors and high school student mentees form teams to seek and practice solutions to environmental issues through educational donations, aiming to pursue a sustainable lifestyle on a healthy planet.

Any university student interested in the environment and educational donations can apply as a mentor regardless of their place of residence. Preference is given to students familiar with online education or skilled in Premiere, Photoshop, and Illustrator, and those majoring in food nutrition or environmental studies are especially welcome. Applications for university student mentors will close on the 28th of this month, and applicants can apply via the QR code and link posted in the announcement on the ‘Korea University Student Education Donation Group Webzine’ Naver blog. Recruitment for high school student mentees will begin on March 8.

The themes of this project are ‘Zero Waste’ and ‘LOHAS Diet.’ University student mentors will become educational donors, choose one of these two themes, and plan an environmental project together with high school student mentees.

‘Zero Waste’ is a movement to minimize waste generated in daily life. This theme was planned to encourage mentors and mentees to jointly consider and solve the global waste problem, which has recently emerged as a worldwide environmental issue due to increased disposable product use amid COVID-19.

‘LOHAS Diet’ is a conscious eating habit proposed by Pulmuone, a company specializing in healthy food, which considers both personal health and the global environment. The program aims to reduce excessive meat consumption and promote the intake of plant-based protein foods, thereby protecting the health of individuals, animals, and the planet.

All activities of this ‘Gatgigreun’ program will be conducted non-face-to-face due to the spread of COVID-19. Mentors and mentees will carry out the program through Zoom video meetings.

All participants will receive volunteer hours, and Pulmuone’s healthy food products such as plant-based protein foods and animal welfare eggs will be provided. Outstanding teams and participants will also be selected and awarded. Mentors participating in ‘Gatgigreun’ can complete the program by attending at least 6 out of 8 weeks of activities and will receive a certificate of completion issued jointly by Pulmuone and the Korea University Student Education Donation Group.

Song Jihyun, head of Pulmuone’s Brand Management Office, stated, “Recently, interest and concern about the environment among the MZ generation have increased more than ever due to COVID-19,” adding, “Pulmuone, which has made eco-friendliness a core company strategy, will continue to operate its business with the MZ generation to address environmental issues and protect not only human health but also the global environment.”
