The ‘Green Commute’ is a movement to practice carbon-neutral living in daily life by using walking, bicycles, and public transportation instead of private cars for commuting.

The county is promoting various projects such as support for diesel vehicle operation, operation of the carbon point system, and practicing carbon-neutral living to promote low-carbon lifestyles.

In addition, organizations such as the Sancheong-gun Volunteer Center are actively conducting campaigns to practice carbon neutrality.

The mayor said, “If we start practicing small things that can be done immediately one by one, we will be able to take a step closer to a carbon-neutral eco-friendly life,” and added, “In the future, our Sancheong-gun will continue to carry out activities that give the Earth a break, even if only for a moment, and participate in responding to climate change.”
