The city of Seoul announced that it will conduct the “2020 Citizen's Practical Energy

Conservation Contest” so that citizens can practice energy conservation and production

culture in their daily lives, and that applications will be accepted from March 18th to

April 5th 2020.

 

The “Citizens' Practical Energy Conservation Project” has been implemented by the Seoul Metropolitan Government since 2013 to enable citizens to practice and settle major

environmental and energy policies in the city, such as “Greenhouse Gas Reduction” and

“City of the Sun, Seoul”.

 

Last year, creative educational methods such as'energy conservation practice educational

play' were newly introduced through public offerings, and a total of 43 organizations

participated, and 100,000 citizens participated through 1163 education and campaigns,

and 2794 citizens received'eco mileage. 'Subscribed to.

 

A theater company selected for the 2019 public offering presented a performance on the seriousness of the climate crisis so that children can perceive the climate crisis theme as a problem directly connected to their future through plays. It toured at 9 schools in

elementary, middle, and high schools, and among the performances, more than 200

schools received great response.

 

The Seoul Metropolitan Government provides up to 50 million won to organizations

participating in the “Citizens' Practical Energy Conservation Project of the Year” and up to 10 million won to gatherings of three or more citizens. The total support budget is about 400 million won.

cooperatives) or a group of three or more citizens (if the workplace and actual living rights are in Seoul, participation is possible).

 

In particular, this year, the door to university students will be greatly opened to actively

encourage GHG reduction campaigns such as energy conservation campaigns in

universities. In addition, the Mayor's Citation will be awarded to up to three people per

group, including the representatives and project managers of the three best performing

organizations, to encourage university students to participate in the project and improve

their performance.
