The Shincheonji Volunteer Group Gangdong Branch promoted responsible pet ownership through its Clean for Pet campaign, encouraging the use of Manner Water and proper pet etiquette at Guui Park in Seoul.
Walking Through Guui Park with the Shincheonji Volunteer Group
It was a breezy afternoon on July 18 when I found myself walking through Guui Park in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. As a regular visitor who enjoys observing local community efforts, I joined the scene where the Shincheonji Volunteer Group Gangdong Branch was hosting their meaningful "Clean for Pet" campaign. Surrounded by residential complexes and bustling commercial areas, Guui Park is always filled with dog owners taking daily strolls with their pets. However, as summer sets in, pet urine odors in certain park sections can become a subtle concern for visitors. Seeing volunteers step up directly to address this issue was both refreshing and inspiring.
Addressing Park Odors through Pre-Site Inspection and Manner Water
Identifying the need for pet etiquette in public spaces
Before launching the event, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group Gangdong Branch conducted a thorough pre-site inspection of Guui Park. They noticed distinct pet urine smells around key walking paths and park facilities. To resolve this, they introduced "Manner Water"—an Effective Microorganisms (EM) solution designed to neutralize odors and minimize environmental contamination when sprayed on spots where dogs urinate. Observing how the volunteers carefully identified problematic spots and demonstrated proper usage highlighted the importance of mutual respect between pet owners and non-pet owners in shared public parks.
Interactive Experience Booths and On-Site Action
Engaging local citizens with DIY Manner Water and resting shelters
During the event, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group set up interactive booths where citizens could receive free EM solutions and learn how to make their own Manner Water. I watched as volunteers actively walked along the park trails, directly spraying Manner Water on odor-affected areas and demonstrating how to properly clean up after pets. Moreover, considering the warm summer season, they set up a dedicated pet shelter equipped with cooling pads, pee pads, fresh water, and toys. A QR code verification event was also integrated to encourage active citizen participation in practicing pet etiquette.
Community Feedback and Sustainable Environmental Future
Voices of local residents and future campaign plans
I listened in as a local resident expressed gratitude after trying the solution, stating that learning the purpose and method of using Manner Water was deeply informative and motivated them to practice better pet manners. A representative from the Shincheonji Volunteer Group Gangdong Branch noted that operating after a rain shower made the necessity of Manner Water even more evident. They reaffirmed their commitment to regularly visiting Guui Park to continue spreading the "Clean for Pet" initiative and foster a clean, harmonious community environment.
Participating as an observer at Guui Park made me realize how small, thoughtful actions like using Manner Water can drastically improve urban living spaces. The dedication of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group shows how practical community initiatives bring lasting positive changes. Let us all take a small step toward better pet etiquette today!
