Hi, all^^

How was today?
It was about -14℃ in Seoul.
I just had a nice dinner with sis Eun-gom(her nickname) lol
and feel so comfy and full right now. It is perfect timing to write Nami story :)

Environmentally-friendly Green development.
Green-tourism.
Recycling.
These words are very familiar to Nami Island.

'SOJOO' bottle tiles on the wall that bounds Nami toilets

In the past, Nami Island had been once called as an amusement ground, full of garbages and bottles of Korean alcohol(SOJOO)! Nobody liked it.

But!

Nami Island takes this setback as an opportunity to turn over a new leaf.

The origin of problematic subject on Nami Island, 'SOJOO Bottles' became Nami's representative
'E-SEUL Garden'. E-SEUL Garden thesedays is decorated with SOJOO bottles.

E-SEUL means DEW in Korean. And in this case, E-SEUL came from the brand name of Korean SOJOO which is named Ahchim E-SEUL. (Ahchim E-SEUL = The morning dew)

Once SOJOO bottles were garbages and now these bottles are reborn as nice installation arts.

One of the popular gardens in Nami Island, E-SUEL garden!!

Besides E-SEUL Garden, Nami Island tried to find a way to transform(recycle) lots of garbages to art works. Nature and Ecosystem are hold at the center of Nami Industries.

Environmentally-friendly sightseeing scenic spot,
Naminara Republic!!

Many art works and sculptures on Nami Island are good examples for lots of big and small companies in Korea to encourage them to use recyclable wastes.

To do recycling is not only about saving lots of money and solving problems how to dispose lots of amounts of wastes produced on Nami Island in proper, clear and perfect way.

Above all, all those wastes would be 'environmentally-friendly' disposed for common good.

What Nami Corporation do right now possibly could be one of great solutions for running recycling system actively in Korea.

For people who come and visit Nami Island, without any doubt, Nami family will keep trying to produce recycled creative art works.
