Gyeonggi Tourism Organization and 5 Other Agencies Reduce 134,000 kg of Carbon Dioxide Over 100 Days

The heads of six organizations, including the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization, which have moved into the new building of the Gyeonggi Human Resources Development Institute, are taking a commemorative photo to celebrate the reduction of 130,000 kg of carbon dioxide over the past 100 days.

On the 7th, it was announced that six public institutions residing in the Gyeonggi-do Human Resources Development Institute, including the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization, reduced 134,000 kg of carbon dioxide through 'carbon neutral activity practices' over the past 100 days.

The six participating institutions are ▲Gyeonggi Tourism Organization ▲Gyeonggi Research Institute ▲Gyeonggi Lifelong Education Promotion Agency ▲Gyeonggi Women's Family Foundation ▲Gyeonggi Welfare Foundation ▲Gyeonggi Regional Dementia Center.

On April 19, these institutions selected four major action tasks with their employees to overcome the climate crisis for future generations and pledged to practice low-carbon living.

Since then, over the past 100 days, the six institutions saved 25,140 kWh compared to the previous year by turning off office lights during lunch hours, reducing 133,583 kg of carbon dioxide. This is equivalent to the effect of planting a total of 1,069 young Korean red pine trees (according to the Korea Forest Service) in the central region.

A representative from the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization said, "We are feeling the seriousness of climate change especially during this heatwave. It was good that all employees could participate together, and it was meaningful to contribute even a little to carbon neutrality through these practical activities."
