Uncomfortable movement for the earth.


Aren't you happy because of getting warmer? 




On 28th, May, Seoul YWCA held a campaign for "Citizen movement for getting rid of ultrafine dust" 

Though it was a little hotter, we all worked hard together for the ultrafine dust-free Seoul!
According to the National Census of ultrafine dust Survey conducted on 1008 adults across the country from February 18 to 28 this year. Nine out of ten Koreans (87.2%) said they feel discomfort due to ultrafine dust. 

Ultrafine dust has now become an invisible public enemy. 
In order to reduce ultrafine dust, it is necessary for the individual to reduce energy use.
Because of that Seoul Y went out to the streets to announce their needs to the citizens and promise their actions.




For those who have pledged their citizenship to reduce ultrafine dust, Seoul Y gave them tomato sunflowers and basil seeds.

Seoul YWCA would like to actively participate in the movement to protect ourselves from ultrafine dust and to protect the earth.

Labeling GMO

Seoul YWCA staffs participated in a training session to learn more about GMO. “Genetically Engineered Foods”, “Genetically modified organisms,” or GMOs, are organisms that have been created through application of transgenic, gene-splicing techniques that are part of biotechnology. These transgenic methods for moving genes around are also called “genetic engineering,” or GE.       This relatively new science allows DNA (genetic material) from one species to be transferred into another species, creating transgenic organisms with combinations of genes from plants, animals, bacteria, and even viral gene pools. The mixing of genes from different species that have never shared genes in the past is what makes GMOs and GE crops so unique. It is impossible to create such transgenic organisms through traditional crossbreeding methods.        In South Korea, labeling GMO law is not enacted yet, so many citizens don't care about what GMO i...
