Seoul YWCA Green Activist Group of University Students, 2nd Green Y : Let’s Make a Low-Carbon Society


Seoul YWCA had recruited green activist group of university students, 2nd Green Y to promote awareness of environmental problems, green life and energy saving.
From last March to October, 20 participants in 5 groups received 12 hours of education on environmental issues, and had on-the-spot experience. They had presentation on their team environmental practices and encouraged each other’s work in weekly gatherings.
For main activity, they conducted a survey of energy saving conditions in 8 university campuses in Seoul and tried to encourage eco-friendly campus. Also, they researched on the conditions of summer air-conditioning temperature of 200 multiple-use facilities such as public offices, theaters, financial institutions and malls and made suggestions on policy improvement.
 “Maintaining Optimal Indoor Temperature in the summer” campaign is an unforgettable memory. They performed a flash mob being in a flood of flashlights in Gwanghwamun, Daehangno, Insa-dong and Jongno, attracting public attention.
