Gwangju Dong-gu "Prepare Only as Much Holiday Food as Needed"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, announced on the 8th that it conducted a 'Chuseok Holiday Food Waste Reduction Campaign' on the 7th at Namgwangju Market and Daein Market, traditional markets in the district.

This campaign was organized to inform citizens about the importance of reducing food waste, considering that the amount of food waste generated during the holiday period increases by about 20% compared to usual, and that more than half of the food waste is generated from households.

On the day, 20 resource circulation interpreters actively promoted the campaign by distributing promotional materials on 'shopping only as much as needed for the holiday' and guidelines for food waste disposal to citizens visiting Namgwangju Market and Daein Market.

Im Taek, mayor of Dong-gu, said, "For the upcoming Chuseok holiday, please shop only as much as needed and minimize food waste," adding, "We will promote various environmental policies, including waste reduction, to create a clean and pleasant Dong-gu."
