[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] On the 6th, Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it has launched a campaign to promote the activation of subscription to the ‘Carbon Point System,’ which saves energy use, reduces greenhouse gases, and even provides incentives.

The Carbon Point System is a program that practices greenhouse gas reduction in daily life. It compares the monthly average usage (baseline usage) over the past two years with the current usage for each energy category (electricity, water supply, city gas) at the time of settlement, and provides incentives according to the reduction rate.

Incentives are paid twice a year (end of June and December) according to the type of incentive selected at the time of subscription, and up to 100,000 KRW annually are provided in the form of Damyang Love Gift Certificates and Green Card points.

Damyang-gun plans to intensively promote subscription to the Carbon Point System through its website, village chief meetings, and visits to local apartment complexes to encourage residents’ participation.

As a result of operating the Carbon Point System in the first half of this year, incentives totaling about 10.49 million KRW were paid to 454 subscribers according to the reduction rate of electricity and other usage.

To participate in the Carbon Point System, one can directly subscribe through the Carbon Point System website or apply by visiting the eup/myeon office.

A county official urged, “As greenhouse gases have emerged as a climate crisis issue, we ask for active participation in the Carbon Point System, which saves energy and provides incentives.”
