Dear Children:
What do you think of your hometown Seoul?
Seoul is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
There is no other large city in the world like Seoul, with its
beautiful nature such as the Han River and Namsan (Mt.).
However, wil l Seoul stil l be considered a beautiful city when
you grow up?
Unfortunately, due to global pollution, green mountains and
rivers are disappearing and the Earth temperature is rising. This
is melting the ice in the Arctic and the polar bears are losing their
homes.
Also many children are suffering from environmental diseases such
as atopic dermatitis and rhinitis.
From now on, we must try our best to protect and love the envi-
ronment for not only the polar bears but also for all of us so we can
continue our healthy and happy lives in Seoul.
“Building a Green Seoul with Hwan and Gyeong” is a textbook that
will teach you the importance of the environment and how you can
protect it.
We hope that this book will help you learn about the importance of
the environment and how to protect it at any time and any place.

Let’s talk about what I can do for the character in the story.
How can we protect living creatures?
Since 2002, the Seoul Metropolitan Government has established a list of endangered
species in need of protection in Seoul. As of 2010, a total of 49 species 39 animals
and 10 plant species – have been placed under protection.
1. The f ollowing are animals and plants protected by the Seoul
Metropolitan Government. Look at the pictures and write thename of the animal or plant from the box below.

Let’s summarize key points from the article.
Whose footprints? Carbon footprints!
Tuvalu, an island located in the Pacic Ocean, is on the verge of sinking under the
sea. The island is lled with water for fteen days every month, which leaves less
space for people to live in. The Chacaltaya glacier in Bolivia used to be the world’s
highest ski run but now it has been reduced to just a few pieces of ice. Why are
these things happening?
Greenhouse gas emission has increased due
to the use of fossil fuels such as coal and oil.
A huge amount of greenhouse gases have
also been emitted in the process of waste
decomposition. In addition, disap pearing
forests have reduced nature’s ability to
absorb greenhouse gases. All these arecausing global warming.
Global warming describes the rise of the average temperature of the Earth, and
is caused by the heat from the Earth which is trapped due to increasing green-
house gases in the air. It is the main reason for the ooding of Tuvalu and
melting of the Chacaltaya glacier.
So what does global warming and climate change have to do with a carbonfootprint?
A carbon footprint is the gure which shows the total amount of emitted
greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, caused by humankind in kilogram
(kg) or in number of trees.
We can reduce our carbon footprint if we unplug the home appliances not in
use and cut the use of disposable products such as paper cups and wooden
chopsticks.
Besides these efforts, what else can we do to reduce our carbon footprint?

disposal are increasing while the
forests are disappearing.
We need to make an effort to
reduce ( ).
The increase of greenhouse gases
in the air causes ( ),
which is raising the Earth’s
temperature.
Tuvalu is sinking under the water
and the Chacaltaya Glacier has
melted.

Let’s learn how to summarize the ideas using information from the dictionary.
The Power of New & Renewable Energy!
The world currently has reserves for only 40 years of oil, 65 years of gas and 155
years of coal, so many countries are trying to develop new & renewable energy.
1. The f ollowing is the description of different types of energy.
Write down the right type of energy from the box below for eachdescription.
Fossil Fuel, New Energy, Renewable Energy
Humans have been using a lot of
this energy. Along with petroleum
and coal, natural gas is also a source
of this energy.
This energy converts existing fos-
sil fuels for use. In addition to the
fuel cells, hydrogen energy and
coal liquefaction are also used for
this energy.
This energy uses renewable sources
such as sunlight and water. It uses
not only solar light and wind but
also solar heat, water, tide, waste,
geothermal and biomass.

Let’s share ideas and have a discussion.
Smart Consumption! Green Consumption!
Green Consumption means environmentally friendly consumption which does not
affect the environment.
Buying eco-friendly products, forming a habit of saving, and minimizing environment
polluting wastes are all activities for green consumption.
1. Look at the following pictures.Try to nd the differences between the pictures and circle them.

Consumption?
1 Buying local foods.
2 Buying only essential products.
3Using private cars rather than public transportation
or bicycles.
5 Buying cute products even if they are unnecessary.
4Buying eco-friendly products certied with
environment mark.
6 Implement four “Rs”: reduce, reuse recycle, and rebuy.
The environment mark indicates environmentally-
friendly products which save energy or cause less pol-
lution during the process of production, consumption
and disposal. The label shows why the product ob-
tained an environment mark.

Let’s read the passage and compare it with your own ideas.
A Promise to protect the Earth
April 22 each year is Earth Day. When and why was the Earth Day founded? As
citizens of the Earth, what kind of promises can we make for the Earth?
In 1969, an oil spill occurred off the
beautiful coast of Santa Barbara,
California, U.S. and caused terrible
environmental pollution around the
area.
After this incident, a United States
Senator Gaylord Nelson proposed
founding of Earth Day to raise public awareness of the environment.
The rst Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970 with a Harvard graduate student, Denis Hayes.
In the 1980s, other countries started to join and celebrate Earth Day. In
1990, over 200 million people in 140 nations participated in the Earth
Day event and in 2002, 5,000 environmental groups in 184 countries
around the world were on board.
Earth Day is now a global event, alerting people of environmental prob-
lems such as environmental pollution and the destruction of the ecosys-tem.
A variety of environmental events are held on Earth Day including a
tree-planting program, a river cleaning project, Earth Expo and cultural
events.
We cannot live a single day without the Earth. We have to think and act
as if every day is Earth Day, not just one day in April.

Let’s present an article that you wrote.
Zero Waste Project
Zero Waste is the best way to solve waste disposal issues.
Together with Seoul citizens, the Seoul Metropolitan Government is promoting
Zero Waste activities, which aim to reduce, reuse and recycle waste.
a. As of 2008, Seoul citizens disposal 11,569 ton of waste including
3,416 ton of food waste a day.
b. Only 7,445 tons, approximately 17% of the waste, is recycled and the
rest is burial or incineration.As the rate of recycling has increased over that of the past, the
usable life of landlls in the metropolitan area has been extended to
2044. However, there is no other method of disposal planned for
the following years.
c. Gyeong, why don’t we start a zero waste project?
Recycling is important. But if we save materials and reduce waste,
we are achieve zero waste someday, can’t we?
Together, let’s create a clean Seoul through the Zero Waste Project.

Do you agree with the writer’s idea?
What is Slow Food?
Slow Food is a movement which began to preserve traditional foods and food
cultures and to encourage the use of local food products. When, where and how
did the Slow Food movement begin?
The Slow Food movement began
in 1986 to preserve traditional
Italian food culture when a fast
food restaurant was opened near
the Spanish Steps in Rome, Italy.
The movement has since expanded
globally and has over 80,000 mem-bers in more than 100 countries. A slow snail is the symbol of this
movement.
The phrase “Slow Food” is a combination of words “Slow” and
“Food” which refers to highly-nutritious, healthy, unprocessed foods
including a variety of different recipes. Slow Food uses less meat and
focuses on traditional, local ingredients, thus producing less carbon
dioxide.
So, what kind of food is slow food, and how does it benefit both
the Earth environment and our health?
Kimchi chigae (spicy kimchi stew), Doenjang chigae (soybean paste
stew) and Bibimbap are some of the representative slow foods in
Korea.

Seoul is getting warmer
Over the past century, the average temperature of the world rose by 0.7°C but the
temperature of Korea went up by 1.7°C. In particular, the temperature rise in Seoul
was twice faster than the average temperature rise of Korea and three times faster
than that of the world. It is anticipated that if global warming continues in this rate,
there will be no winter in Korea by 2100.

Social Studies -2-(1) Natural resources and production in my city
Let’s nd out about my city’s natural resources.
We have a mine in Seoul!
The Seoul Metropolitan Government is working on an urban mining project by collecting
raw materials from discarded electronic devices. The urban mining project is being
considered as a good solution for resolving the problem of a lack of resources.
Urban mining collects precious metals such as gold, silver and bronze from
discarded cell phones, computers and other electronic devices from homesand businesses. These thrown away items are waste when they are sent to the
landll, but they can turn into a resource if you recycle them.
1. The following bar graph shows how much metal can be mined from
one ton of cell phones (approximately 10,000 cell phones).
Write the amount of each metal in the blanks.

The lower food miles, the better!
Food miles is a term which indicates the distance that food travels from the
production until it reaches the consumer and it shows the degree of environmental
burden.
If food travels longer, more energy is required and more greenhouse gas is
produced.
Japan(Pollack – 1221 t.km)China
(Onions - 912 t.km)
The Philippines(Bananas -2613 t.km)
Indonesia(Blue Crab - 5275 t.km)
New Zealand(Kiwi - 9651 t.km)
The U.S.(Orange - 9604 t.km)
The unit of t.km is calculated by multiplying the amount of
food (ton) by the length of travelling distances (km) from itsproduction to the consumer.

Social Studies-3- Environmental issues and solutions of my city
Let’s learn about the challenges that my city is facing and discuss the solution.
What is Eco-Mileage?
Eco-Mileage is a program to encourage people to voluntarily reduce the amount
of electricity, water, gas, and other energy they use at home, school and work. The
aim of the program is to involve citizens to actively participate in the efforts to
resolve the challenges caused by climate change. The Seoul Metropolitan Government
gives incentives to the citizens and organizations who have earned Eco-miles to
encourage the citizens to join the effort to protect the Earth.
1. The following list shows how to save energy and earn Eco-miles at
home. Draw a circle if you can do it by yourself and a triangle if your
family can do it together.
How to earn eco-mile
Buy high energy efcient electronic devices.
Unplug electronic devices not in use.
Select the appropriate size of refrigerator for your
family.
Do not press the close button. Wait until the elevator
doors close automatically.
Maintain the indoor temperature between 26 and28 °C in summer.
Only watch necessary TV programs.

Social Studies-3-(2) Environmental issues and solutions of my city
Let’s learn about the issues that my city and other cities have to work together.
Let’s solve the problem together!
Many environmental problems may occur in your city. Then, how can
we solve these problems within our city, and work together with other cities?
Citizen monitors investigate this facility to see whether it is receiving
waste properly.
1. The Nowon district in the city of Seoul built a Resource Recovery
Facility to take care of the waste generated in the city to prevent
environmental pollution. Read the following article and write oneof the efforts they are making.
The Resource Recovery Facility is a
plant which incinerates the trash in a
hygienic way and recycles energy by
collecting the heat generated from the
incineration of trash.The Nowon Resource Recovery Facility
founded in 1997, was transformed into a shape which looks like a magic
box in 2009 (picture above) and the plant improved its facilities to reduce
pollutants generated from incineration.
Citizen monitors work independently to investigate the facility to en-
sure that the trash enters the facility properly, the facility is being oper-
ated in a right way, and that it is not polluting the nearby area. In ad-dition, the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the district of Nowon
also study how the facility affects the citizens and the neighboring area.

2. Some local environmental problems can be resolved by working with
other areas. Underline how the problem is being solved.
Han River
Anyangcheon(stream)
In 1999, two districts in the city of
Seoul, Gurogu and Yangcheongu,
established the ‘Council for Improv-
ing Water Quality of Anyangcheon’
together with 13 local governments
around Anyangcheon area including
Anyang-si, Gunpo-si, Uiwang-si and
Gwangmyeong-si at the GyeonggiProvince, and launched a project for
cooperation between local govern-
ments to rehabilitate Anyangcheon.
They established a water recycling
center and made an effort to recover the ecosystem of the upper part of
the Anyangcheon. These efforts paid off and the water quality of Any-
angcheon, which used to be one of the most polluted streams in Korea
until the mid 1990s, has improved signicantly in mid 2000s.As the water quality got better, the sh which left the stream came back
and it is now observed that minnows spawn in the stream. The stream
has changed into a habitat for migrating birds, particularly white her-
ons, gray herons and egrets in summer and mallards, white wagtails,
snipes and plovers in winter.
Anyangcheon is now home to various kinds of sh species such as Chi-
nese minnows, which live only in the cleanest water, and wild birds
such as spot bills.

Environment story of the Seoul Metropolitan Government
Gwanghwamun
Gwanghwamun, built in the Joseon Dynasty, is the main gate of Gyeongbok
Palace. Gwanghwamun was named during the reign of King Sejong and it
means that it is ‘a gate to broadly show national authority and culture’.
During the Japanese Invasion, Gwanghwamun was destroyed by re together
with Gyeongbok Palace and it was reconstructed in 1865. After that, the gate’s
structure and location changed several times throughout the Japanese colonial
period and the Korean War. Recently, efforts from the civic society helped the
gate to be restored to its original structure and location.
