Eco-friendly rainwater remover

The rainy season has come! Are you enjoying yourself with this weather?

You can easily see the plastic bags for covering the wet umbrella. Have you ever thought that is too wasteful for the environment? Plastic bags including all the plastics are the huge concern around the world now. Korea consumes 19 billion plastic bags annually and it is about 57 billion won. The most miserable thing is that 23 million tons of carbon dioxide is generated by the process of making plastic bags.

Seoul YWCA is conducting a “joyful movement “to save the Earth and save us. We have installed an eco-friendly rainwater remover in front of the YWCA entrance.

1. Put an umbrella in a rain cleaner and turn left and right and shake over 5 times!

2. There could be raindrop even if you shook for a long time.

It is literally inconvenient but necessarily needed for protecting our environment.

Seoul Y is about saving energy, recycling, renewable energy, safe food, and ethical consumption.

Happy Inconvenient Exercise! Practice it with the people around you.

The more we try hard to protect, The Earth will be healthier, and humans will be happier!
