Incheon City Launches Tumbler Sharing Campaign for Citizens' Day
Incheon Metropolitan City will launch a tumbler sharing campaign on October 12 to celebrate the 60th Citizens' Day. The event will take place at Incheon Grand Park and the City Hall's Aetul Square.
The event aims to encourage citizens to practice carbon neutrality by distributing tumblers donated by city officials and employees from related organizations, promoting the widespread use of tumblers.

Incheon City anticipates that this campaign will accelerate the spread of citizen-led initiatives in response to climate change.
