[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dae-yeol] Kumho Tire announced on the 7th that it will create a classroom forest at Cheongryong Elementary School in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, in collaboration with the social enterprise Triple Planet. Each of the 21 classes will receive 26 air-purifying plants and repotting kits. The pots were made from discarded single-use mask fabric scraps from the factory and recycled PET bottles. Students will learn environmental education over three class periods and take care of the trees they are responsible for. The company explained that the 559 trees provided this time absorb 84 kg of carbon dioxide and 253 g of fine dust annually. In connection with this program, an additional 559 trees will be planted in an ecological function restoration forest in the Gangwon region this November.
