Namwon-si to Conduct 'Resource Circulation Education' Until Next Month

[Namwon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Young-kwon] Namwon City, Jeonbuk (Mayor Lee Hwan-joo) announced on the 10th that, in line with energy policies, it will conduct village-level resource circulation education until next month in collaboration with the Rural New Vitality Plus Promotion Team.

The resource circulation education, planned as part of the Promotion Team's regional carbon-neutral energy transition education project, aims to cultivate awareness of proper waste separation and resource reuse and to encourage citizens' practice.

The education, attended by about 20 village residents, will be held on the 11th at 2 p.m. in Daejeong Village, Sannae-myeon, where Lee Jae-hyang, CEO of Vinyl-less Store, will be invited to conduct the resource circulation education.

The education will be broadly divided into three topics: ▲ waste separation and collection methods ▲ current status of waste separation and processing in Namwon City ▲ waste reuse and recycling.

This session will explore how various resources that citizens generally consider as "waste" (cans, bottles, paper, vinyl, plastic) are actually discarded and processed in daily life.

Following the theoretical education, participants will also make hemp scrubbers that can be used in everyday life.

On the 18th of last month, resource circulation education was conducted in Yangchon Village, Suji-myeon, and customized resource circulation education visiting villages within Namwon City will continue until next month.

Mayor Lee Hwan-joo said, "The city aims to realize carbon neutrality together with its citizens," adding, "Through this education, we hope citizens recognize the necessity of waste separation and increase the recycling rate of waste to create a virtuous cycle of resources."
