Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Suwon World Cup Stadium Management Foundation will hold a 'Recycle Market' at the central plaza of Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 22nd, Earth Day.

The Recycle Market, held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. that day, is a secondhand and flea market featuring about 100 booths centered around the 'Used Goods Market' of the Suwon Mom Gather Naver Cafe, the Gyeonggi Upcycle Plaza, and seven environmental organizations including the Earth Citizens' Coalition's 'Carbon Neutral Practice Experience Zone.'

The carbon neutral practice experiences include ▲making eco-friendly detergents ▲education on separating and disposing of toys ▲making LED lamps from candles ▲molding waste plastic to create flower pots ▲making upcycled cup slabs ▲producing card wallets by recycling milk cartons ▲painting using waste grains.

Suwon World Cup Stadium will also participate in the nationwide lights-out event by turning off all the main stadium's landscape lighting for 10 minutes from 8 p.m. that day.

To commemorate Earth Day, Gyeonggi Province is operating the 'Climate Change Week' (22nd?28th) for the first time this year, during which, along with the Recycle Market, it will conduct the 'Start with Me Green-Green Earth' citizen campaign, announce the Gyeonggi RE100 vision, ban single-use cups in the provincial government building, and carry out carbon neutral practice activities by public institutions.
