The Military Manpower Administration announced Wednesday it will conduct the 'MMA30 Challenge' campaign with participation from all employees, amid growing interest in energy conservation due to recent rises in crude oil prices.
MMA stands for 'Move more, Minimize energy, Act for earth.'
MMA30 is a 30-day special campaign to save energy, protect the environment, and improve health by using buses, subways, and walking instead of private vehicles. The campaign runs from Wednesday through May 7.
The Military Manpower Administration plans to select and award individuals and departments with outstanding energy-saving records, such as achieving 8,000 steps of walking daily or using public transportation.
"This campaign is meaningful in that small daily practices by employees can come together to create big changes," MMA Commissioner Hong So-young said. "I hope our eco-friendly commuting habits become the foundation for wisely overcoming the national energy crisis while serving as the driving force to protect our health and environment."
