Damyang-gun Launches Environmental Improvement Campaign for Residents

Campaign with (Sa) Ecological City Damyang 21 Council to Encourage Residents' Interest and Participation

[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Jeonnam Damyang-gun and the Ecological City Damyang 21 Council (Representative Kim Kwanghoon) announced on the 24th that they conducted a citizen environmental improvement campaign in the Damyang-eup area.

The campaign took place around Damyang Intercity Bus Terminal, Juknokwon, and Meta Provence.

The campaign focused on promoting ▲ walking for short distances ▲ no idling! practicing eco-friendly driving habits ▲ using low-NOx eco-friendly boilers ▲ reducing the use of disposable products ▲ separating and disposing of transparent PET bottles ▲ not illegally burning garbage.

Separate disposal of transparent PET bottles has been mandatory in nationwide apartment complexes (apartment complexes with 300 or more households or 150 or more households with elevators or centralized heating systems) since December 25, 2020, and will be implemented in multi-family housing such as row houses and villas, as well as single-family homes, starting December 25 of this year.

Transparent PET bottles, mainly used for bottled water or carbonated beverage containers, should be emptied, labels removed, and disposed of in designated transparent PET bottle collection bins.

Colored PET bottles and disposable cups should be disposed of together with plastics as before.

A county official said, “This is a time when the interest and participation of citizens are needed to protect the environment of the clean ecological city Damyang,” and added, “We ask for active cooperation in environmentally friendly habits such as reducing the use of disposable products and separating transparent PET bottles.”
