[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] On the 28th, Heo Seong-gon, mayor of Gimhae City, Gyeongnam, participated in the carbon neutrality practice campaign in response to the climate crisis.

Carbon neutrality means absorbing as much greenhouse gases (carbon), which are the cause of the climate crisis, as are emitted, making the net emissions '0'.

This campaign was promoted by the Gimhae City Volunteer Center together with the Gyeongnam Volunteer Center for the purpose of the 'Creating a Safe Gyeongnam Climate Crisis Response Joint Practice Action' to reduce carbon emissions.

On this day, Mayor Heo took a pledge to practice carbon neutrality, including using public transportation for short distances and reducing the use of disposable products and plastics, and received a naturally dyed handkerchief made by the Gimhae City Women Leaders Volunteer Group, sharing the intention to practice using handkerchiefs instead of tissue paper.

Mayor Heo said, "The climate crisis is neither a distant future issue nor something that can be solved alone. If we all increase the practices we can do in our daily lives together, we can overcome this as well," urging many citizens to participate.
