[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 7th that it has been finally selected for the ‘2021 City and County Shared Economy Activation Support Contest Project’ hosted by Gyeongsangnam-do, securing a project fund of 15 million won.

This contest project is implemented with a total budget of 100 million won by selecting 5 cities and counties and 7 projects to solve local community problems by utilizing idle resources through public-private cooperation and to spread the sharing culture.

The Geochang-gun Shared Economy Activation Support Project selected this time is carried out by sharing the space of the shared cafe ‘Sasohan (Saram-i Sojunghan)’ which has been operating for a year, and collaborating with Geochang YMCA to widely raise awareness of the seriousness of the climate crisis and find ways to overcome it.

The main project content is to reduce carbon, which is pointed out as the biggest cause of the climate crisis, by bringing leftover ingredients from each household and conducting dining table experiences and recipe development excluding meat, as well as environmental lectures and movie viewings. Each session will recruit 15 children and adults and is expected to be held about 12 times in total.

Gu In-mo, the mayor of Geochang-gun, said, “Through this contest project, the concept of ‘sharing’ will become familiar to the residents,” and added, “I hope efforts to address the climate crisis, which threatens communities beyond the region to the whole world, will spread.”
