Haman-gun Volunteer Center Launches 'My Inner Handkerchief' Campaign for 2050 Carbon Neutrality Initiative

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] The Volunteer Center of Haman-gun, Gyeongnam, carried out the 'Handkerchief Within Me' campaign on the 29th to practice carbon neutrality.

This activity, hosted by the Gyeongsangnam-do Volunteer Center and jointly promoted by 18 volunteer centers in Gyeongnam, is a campaign aimed at making a safe Gyeongnam by responding to the climate crisis through joint practical actions, encouraging the use of handkerchiefs instead of tissue paper in daily life as a small practice.

During the campaign, family volunteer groups participated and made handkerchiefs using natural dye from gardenia at the rural experience farm 'Jjokhadam'.

The completed handkerchiefs were delivered to vulnerable elderly people living alone.

A volunteer who participated in the activity said, "It was rewarding to participate in the handkerchief dyeing activity with my family, and I will definitely practice it at home for carbon neutrality."

Lee Younghak, director of the Haman-gun Volunteer Center, said, "I hope the campaign to use handkerchiefs instead of disposable wet wipes or tissue paper spreads so that everyone can work towards carbon neutrality by 2050," adding, "We will continue to practice carbon neutrality by 2050 through various and continuous volunteer activities."
