This will reduce administrative workload and costs related to waste disposal for schools.
Kim Young-ri, the Superintendent of Education, said, “I am pleased that this agreement allows us to practically implement carbon neutrality,” and added, “We will continue to explore various ways to practice carbon neutrality that we can carry out.”
