Hong Jae-sik, Chairman of the Changwon Welfare Foundation in Gyeongnam, participated in the ByeBye Plastic Challenge (bbp) on the 25th, aimed at reducing the use of plastics that harm the environment.

Hong Jae-sik, Chairman of the Changwon Welfare Foundation, participated in the ByeBye Plastic Challenge.

The relay was first initiated by the Minister of Environment on World Environment Day last June as an environmental campaign to reduce plastic use that threatens ecosystems and humanity, encouraging citizen participation and action.

Chairman Hong said, “For a sustainable environment, it is most important to start with myself and take small actions. I regularly engage in essential but simple activities such as using tumblers and thorough recycling with our staff.” He added, “The older generation must make greater efforts to leave a clean environment for the children of our future. I hope this challenge contributes to raising citizens’ awareness and willingness to participate.”

Chairman Hong joined this challenge after being nominated by Jo Young-pa, CEO of the Changwon Cultural Foundation, and he nominated Kim Young-pyo, Director of the Changwon City Policy Research Institute, as the next participant.
