View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon will hold the 2022 "Earth Day" commemorative event on the 22nd at Seoul Plaza in celebration of the global environmental observance, "Earth Day."
"Earth Day" was proposed in 1970 on April 22 to raise nationwide awareness of environmental issues, following the 1969 oil spill accident off the coast of Santa Barbara, California, USA. Currently, about 1 billion people in approximately 190 countries worldwide participate in this event.
Under the theme of "Daily Investment for the Earth," this event is co-hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Green Seoul Citizens Committee, and organized by the Korea LOHAS Association. The "Seoul Green Meta Supporters," composed of youth, university students, and young adults, along with the "Green Seoul Citizens Committee," will participate. The event will be conducted in various formats including performances at Seoul Plaza and a metaverse commemorative ceremony.
Mayor Oh will present a performance at Seoul Plaza with about 30 citizens from the "Green Meta Supporters" and the "Green Seoul Citizens Committee" to mark the start of the "Earth Day" commemorative event. Delivering the message "Ji (still) Gu (can save)," he will urge actions to save the Earth.
