The city of Busan has installed the Busan City Communication Character ‘Boogi’ sculpture at the entrance to the north gate of Busan Citizens Park, which contains the eco-friendly message of “Practice carbon neutrality”.
The sculpture is named ‘Picnic Boogi’, and it was installed to deliver an eco-friendly message to visitors to Busan Citizens Park. It states to ‘Reduce the use of disposable products and enjoy outings with food in multi-use containers’ to make Busan a carbon-neutral city.
‘Picnic Boogi’ is 2.4m high and about 5m² in size and will remain for the next three years, and uses a tumbler instead of disposable products, and is enjoying an eco-friendly outing sitting on a sandwich brought in a picnic bag.
On the cross-section of the sandwich where ‘Picnic Boogi’ sits, the message ‘Enjoy an eco-friendly outing with Boogi!’ is engraved on the tumbler, and ‘Please refrain from using disposable products!’
In addition, ‘Picnic Boogi’ is a photo zone, and adults and children alike can sit on a picnic bag or stand in front of the statue to take pictures in various poses.
To commemorate the citizens’ interest and the installation of the sculpture for a ‘carbon-neutral city’, the city is launching the ‘Courageous Picnic’ campaign through the 9th of next month.
