The main contents include ▲regulations on the responsibilities of the district mayor and business operators ▲promotion and support for the use of eco-friendly material banners.

On the 21st, Councilor Goh stated, "As interest in the climate crisis grows, concerns about the disposal of waste banners are increasing. Fundamentally, the posting of banners should be reduced, but by using eco-friendly materials for banners, we hope to reduce carbon emissions slightly and increase the recycling rate."
