It is said that a huge amount of carbon emissions can be reduced by simply reducing the use of the 5.6 billion plastic bottles consumed annually in Korea, but the rate of direct drinking of tap water among Koreans is only 5%.

He has now entered his 20th year of living in Korea, and like most Koreans, he has become more accustomed to water from purifiers and plastic bottles instead of tap water.
