"Learn Carbon Neutrality by Making Carrot Rape Sandwich"

Dongdaemun-gu, 'Visiting Carbon Neutral Village Brunch Special Lecture' for Apartment Complexes
Following last year's pilot education, this year's target expanded... Theory education and experiential programs operated

Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Lee Pil-hyung) is conducting an experiential carbon neutrality education program called ‘Visiting Carbon Neutral Village Brunch Special Lecture’ for 10 apartment complexes in the area.

This program was designed to introduce residents to carbon-neutral lifestyle habits that can be practiced in daily life, with the aim of reducing carbon emissions in the local community.

The education sessions will begin with the first lecture on September 24 at Raemian Elinity Apartment and continue until the end of November at community centers in each apartment complex. Each session will provide theoretical lectures and experiential activities for about 30 residents.

Last year, Dongdaemun-gu conducted pilot education at 4 apartment complexes. This year, the participation opportunities have been expanded to 10 locations. In particular, experiential activities have been further strengthened by reflecting the feedback from last year’s participants.

The education is divided into two parts and lasts about 3 hours. In Part 1, under the theme of ‘Resource Circulation,’ there will be a theoretical lecture on ‘Zero Waste in Daily Life’ and a refill station experience to help residents easily practice carbon neutrality in their everyday lives.

In Part 2, under the theme of ‘Carbon Neutral Diet,’ there will be a theoretical lecture titled ‘Reducing Carbon through Food’ and a hands-on activity making carrot rapped vegan sandwiches.

Diets including meat and dairy products emit large amounts of greenhouse gases during production, but vegan diets can significantly reduce carbon emissions. Through the process of making vegan food using carrots, residents naturally realize the impact of their food choices on climate change and learn ways to practice sustainable eating habits.

Lee Pil-hyung, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, said, “Carbon neutrality is an important task for our future, and the small actions of each resident will create great change,” adding, “We will continue efforts to create a carbon-neutral city in various fields.”
