[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Hapcheon-gun Volunteer Center in Gyeongnam operated the carbon neutrality program 'Sanae, Mulae, Gangae' at the Ilhae Park outdoor performance hall on the 12th, with about 20 participants.

This program was planned to improve water quality by making and fermenting loess balls using EM, a microbial aggregate effective in odor removal and self-purification capacity recovery, and throwing them into streams.

On the day of the program, participants were provided with a video about carbon neutrality in advance, took a quiz on it, and then proceeded to make EM soil balls themselves.

Participants took the soil balls home to observe the fermentation process for one week, and after one week, gathered to throw the soil balls around the Hwang River.

Lee Gyu-su, head of the Administration Division, said, “It was a volunteer activity that even young children can easily participate in, and it was likely a beneficial time in terms of environmental education,” urging many residents to participate.
