In addition, there will be sharing of environmental education case studies from ecological and carbon-neutral pilot schools, operation of 23 environmental experience booths, an environmental talk concert, and an environmental Golden Bell quiz, offering a variety of programs.

The environmental experience booths will offer a range of activities such as calculating the carbon emissions of your meal, growing companion plants, making natural scrubbers, making natural dish soap, and making Sochang handkerchiefs.

Additionally, the Busan Environmental Corporation's Busan Resource Circulation Cooperation Center has prepared an "Upcycling Art" exhibition, which gives new value to waste by transforming it into art.
