Yongin City Launches 'Yongin Eco-Joa-Yong' Citizen Supporter Corps for Environmental Action

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Choi Ki-ho] Yongin Special City held the launch ceremony for 'Yongin Eco-Joa-Yong,' a citizen supporter corps dedicated to practicing carbon neutrality and spearheading environmental protection activities, at the City Hall Convention Hall on the 5th.

The launch ceremony was attended by Mayor Lee Sang-il and 105 supporters comprising diverse age groups, from infants to seniors.

The mayor presented appointment certificates to six group representatives representing each age group and urged them to engage in active activities.

Yongin Eco Joa-Yong will operate for 10 months from this launch ceremony through November. The supporters plan to take the lead in promoting the value of environmental protection and putting it into practice through monthly themed environmental campaigns, environmental protection activities, and customized environmental education programs tailored to each group.

In particular, through customized activities reflecting the characteristics of each age group, they will expand citizen participation, deliver environmental practice information in daily life through SNS, and serve to encourage interest in environmental policies and build consensus.

Mayor Lee Sang-il said, "I sincerely thank you all for volunteering as citizen supporters," and added, "If you actively and vigorously engage in activities, it will serve as an inspiration for more people to participate in environmental conservation efforts."
