Hwasun-gun to Conduct 'Digital Carbon Diet Campaign' Until the 10th

[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ji-woon] Jeonnam Hwasun-gun (Governor Gu Chung-gon) announced on the 6th that it will operate Carbon Neutrality Week until the 10th and conduct a ‘Digital Carbon Diet (Emptying unnecessary mailboxes)’ campaign.

The theme of the campaign, held to mark the 1st anniversary of the government’s ‘Carbon Neutrality Vision Declaration,’ is ‘Carbon Neutrality 2050 Before It’s Too Late.’

This campaign is operated with the purpose of raising awareness of the climate crisis, forming and spreading a consensus for the transition to a carbon-neutral society, and encouraging participation.

During Carbon Neutrality Week, the county will carry out the ‘Digital Carbon Diet’ campaign to reduce carbon dioxide generated during information storage by deleting unnecessary emails so that many residents can participate.

It is known that one email emits about 4g of greenhouse gases.

As the amount of stored data increases, power consumption also increases due to the increase in data centers required to meet data demand.

A county official said, “We hope for the interest and participation of many citizens so that the climate crisis can be overcome through small practices in daily life and carbon neutrality in 2050 can be realized.”
