Jangan-gu (District Chief Hong Sung-gwan) announced on the 21st that it will hold the 'Jangan Environmental Playground' at the plaza in front of Jangan-gu Office on June 1st to commemorate the 18th World Environment Day.

This event, organized to mark World Environment Day (June 5th) and promote residents' environmental awareness and expand eco-friendly lifestyle practices, features an 'Eco-Transportation Play Zone' that provides an advance experience of the 'Eco-Mobility Suwon 2013,' which will be held for the first time in the world in September of this year. The event offers an opportunity to experience pedestrian and human-centered urban life.

Additionally, participants can learn about green living practices through environmental play activities such as making cotton candy with electric bicycles themed on climate change and experiencing 'waste sorting to save the Earth.' Children can cultivate awareness of natural environmental conservation through photo exhibitions and face painting experiences featuring the endangered Suwon tree frog and Suwon's symbolic species. A green sharing marketplace will also be held, allowing citizens to sell and exchange unnecessary items for recycling purposes.

Citizens wishing to participate in the green sharing marketplace (first 50 teams on a first-come, first-served basis) can inquire at the Jangan-gu Office Environment and Sanitation Division, Environmental Management Team (☎228-5348) or the Suwon Environmental Movement Center (☎251-1831).
