- 26.04.17 / 홍유민
The ECO, an environmental club affiliated with the Climate Change Response Project Team (Director Kang Yoon Hee) at Kookmin University (President Jeong Seung Ryul), organized a plogging event and environmental campaign in celebration of “Clean Week for a Clean Campus.”
This Clean Campus initiative, organized by the Administrative Affairs Office, was designed to create a pleasant and safe educational environment on campus and to raise environmental awareness among the university community. From March 30 to April 10, Kookmin University operated a two-week “Clean Week” program involving all members of the university community to carry out campus environmental improvement activities.
As part of this program, The ECO participated in environmental awareness activities centered on the theme of “Reducing Single-Use Items.” Through these efforts, the group helped raise environmental awareness among the campus community and contributed to the development of eco-friendly lifestyle habits.
Previously, on April 4, The ECO organized a plogging event with new members in the Baebatgol area near Kookmin University. Students collected trash themselves, primarily in the residential areas surrounding the campus, observed environmental issues firsthand, and recognized the importance of taking practical action to protect the environment.

On April 9, an environmental campaign themed “Reducing Single-Use Items” was held in front of the main gate of Kookmin University. D-Eco informed the university community about the importance of adopting eco-friendly lifestyles and conveyed the message that small daily actions can lead to environmental protection.
Jeong Min-ju (Class of 2023, Department of Russian and Eurasian Studies), president of D-Eco, said, “Through the Baebatgol plogging event, we were able to directly observe environmental issues in the area surrounding the campus and truly understand the necessity of cleanup activities.” She added, “The campaign to reduce single-use items served as an opportunity to reflect on the current usage patterns of the university community and raise awareness about eco-friendly practices.”
