Seeing litter on the roads or beaches may not move people who are hardly eco-friendly. But this need not mean that environmental preservation goes out of the window, the coronavirus notwithstanding.
Because there are still some people who care – for the environment, for their surroundings, to see that it is neat and tidy as far as possible.People like South Korean hiker Kim Kang-eun.

She wanted to send a message to the world about how important it is to take care of nature.
