Seongbuk-gu Launches Education and Promotion for Carbon Diet

Actively Reducing Single-Use Items
Recruiting Seongbuk Tanda Leaders and Encouraging Participation in Carbon Diet Store

Seongbuk-gu, Seoul (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) is implementing various measures to encourage the use of reusable containers and promote a culture of carbon neutrality in daily life.

The district is recruiting participants for the Youth Seongbuk Carbon Diet Leader (hereinafter Seongbuk Tanda Leader) training program, which will serve as a hub for practicing carbon-neutral living. Those who participate in the 'Seongbuk Tanda Leader' training course can attend free lectures by expert instructors on carbon neutrality and practical actions. After completing the training, participants can also take part in activities to create carbon diet campuses at university festivals and other events.

The training is open to university students enrolled in or residing within Seongbuk-gu, and 15 participants will be selected on a first-come, first-served basis. Applications can be submitted via QR code or by contacting the Seongbuk-gu Office Environmental Division via email.

Additionally, to reduce the increasing use of disposable packaging materials each year, the district is identifying businesses that use consumers' reusable containers for packaging and sales instead of disposable packaging, designating them as 'Seongbuk Carbon Diet Stores (Tanda Stores)' and actively promoting them.

Any business willing to participate in reducing disposable packaging can join the 'Tanda Store' program. Interested parties can fill out the participation application form posted on the Seongbuk-gu Office website and submit it by mail, in person, email, or fax to the Environmental Division of Seongbuk-gu Office.

If a business wishes to join the Seoul Eco Mileage program, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions through electricity savings and offers mileage rewards, they can apply simultaneously when applying to participate in the Tanda Store program.

Mayor Lee Seung-ro stated, “As the severity of the climate crisis increases day by day, it is now time for me to take the lead in practicing carbon dieting,” adding, “We will actively seek out more projects than before so that many residents can empathize and naturally practice carbon dieting in their daily lives.”
