Peace Designer Busan Launches 2025 with First Clean-Up Activity- IAYSP Korea

On Saturday, March 22, 2025, the Peace Designer (PD) Center in Busan held its first clean-up campaign of the year, marking the start of its 2025 environmental activities. The event took place in the vicinity of the Busan PD Center and focused on improving the local environment through hands-on participation.

Young volunteers took part in this meaningful initiative, dedicating their time and effort to cleaning up the streets and drainage areas around the center.

The group successfully collected a total of 75 liters of garbage, focusing particularly on cigarette butts and plastic waste found near drainage areas. Using tongs and garbage bags, participants carefully gathered litter piece by piece. After the clean-up, the group sorted the trash for proper disposal and wrapped up the event with a brief time of encouragement and refreshment, sharing small drinks and celebrating their teamwork.

This hands-on activity gave participants a chance to personally witness the severity of local environmental pollution. It also underscored the importance of cooperation among individuals, local communities, and government bodies in building a cleaner, more sustainable future.
