Incheon Dong-gu District Mayor Kim Chan-jin announced that he has joined the ‘Bye Bye Plastic (BBP) Challenge’, a nationwide campaign to reduce plastic use. This challenge is conducted by promising to reduce unnecessary plastic use, sharing this on social media, and then nominating the next participant.

Mayor Kim participated in this challenge upon the nomination of Baek Seung-ho, chairman of the Seongsu Medical Foundation, and nominated Yu Ok-bun, chairman of the Dong-gu Council, as the next runner.

Mayor Kim Chan-jin said, “I believe that reducing plastic use through small practices in daily life is the first step toward saving resources and protecting the environment,” and added, “I ask for the interest and voluntary participation of many residents, and the Dong-gu Office will also actively lead the reduction of disposable products in public institutions and strive to create an eco-friendly resource recycling city.”
