Suwon Mayor Yeom Tae-young: "Join Me in Energy Conservation"

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Suwon Mayor Yeom Tae-young participated in the 'Daily Energy Conservation Challenge' and emphasized that "achieving carbon neutrality is a timely task we must accomplish."

Mayor Yeom was nominated by Cheongju Mayor Han Beom-deok and participated in the 'Daily Energy Conservation Challenge' at his office on the 15th. The challenge is conducted by writing a message about "daily energy conservation," holding a sign with the message for a photo, and then posting the photo and message on personal social media.

The 'Daily Energy Conservation Challenge' was started on September 7 by Chungcheongnam-do Governor Yang Seung-jo. Challenge participants nominate three next participants. Mayor Yeom nominated Goyang Mayor Lee Jae-jun, Suwon Office of Education Superintendent Hwang Yun-gyun, and Suwon Urban Corporation President Lee Sang-hu.

Mayor Yeom participated in the challenge holding a sign that read "I will reduce energy consumption by using electronic timer outlets" and "I will prioritize purchasing energy efficiency grade 1 products."

Mayor Yeom Tae-young said, "Anyone can participate in carbon neutrality in their daily lives through actions such as saving electricity and gas, and reducing waste," and "While daily practice requires enduring some inconvenience, only everyone's practice and action can create a sustainable earth."

He continued, "Just as small streams gather to form rivers and rivers flow to create seas, small practices can create remarkable change when accumulated," and urged people to "join in all actions to conserve energy and in steps toward carbon neutrality."
