Silver generation is an initiative in learning ways to practice consumption value, which benefits both my health and the community. One of the ways is  choosing and enjoying eco-friendly organic food.

An eco-friendly food cooking class was held at the Banpo social welfare center, Seochogu Seoul on the 22nd afternoon.

This 'Eco-friendly food cooking class' is offered once a month, totalling 9 times a year, as a part of a carbon neutralization project, 'All-ta-all-tan', which aims for the safe and healthy life of local elderly people. The event is hosted by Yangjae senior welfare center, Woomyun general social welfare center, Seocho senior happy e-eum center.

Elderly people are learning to practice carbon neutralization in daily life, splitting the ways to food, clothing, and shelter, through participating in the Alltaalltan project & the eco-friendly class this year. This is good for caring for my health, and helps to practice consumption value in the community.

20 elderly people have participated in the 'Eco-friendly food cooking class'. On that day, the class was made of ▲how to make five cardinal colors detox-tang in season (vegetable-soup) in combination of organic vegetables, brown rice with Gim (dried laver), how to make Bae-chu-gut-jeol-ie (fresh Kimchi) ▲and adventage of organic food and better ways to eat.

The elderly cooked following the lead of the lecturer and attentively listened to the way to eat healthily.

A participant, Gowoomin (77, male) said, "As I have got older, I see that I have got to do what is good for me and others. I will definitely do what I've learned today."

Seonyoung Park(67, female) said, "I am interested in eco-friendly food as much as using Han-sal-lim. This makes both me and the environment healthy, so it's my consumption value. Here I want to learn further about healthy cooking."

Haeok Jo said, "Because the lecturer has easily explained about the organic food ingredients, I thought in future I would purchase organic ingredients as much as possible. Growing old, there are more medicines I take. Wouldn't it be so good to practise them if they helped us with our health?"

Not only the MZ generation, but also elderly people could take the way of organic eating for a healthy life and true consumption-value and investment value."
