“Summer has come! But its usage of electricity is dramatically increasing.” Are you good at energy saving in your daily life? Our consumer and environment team allowed our eight online supporters to be educated about the ways of energy saving for the earth on June 15th, 11th, and 18th. Based on these three events, the supporters will be actively engaged in promoting the way of power-saving. On the first day, Yumi Go, the lecturer, talked about why we should save our precious energy. According to the Korean Meteorological Administration, they predict that the temperature this year will be higher than the average. The heat wave will be extremely serious and prolonged. Due to the global warming continued at this fast speed, the glacier melts thus making the sea level rise. Therefore, it will cause the extinction of some animals and plants as well as could destroy our entire life. Thus, Seoul YWCA wants you to know what you can exercise in daily life by preventing gl...
