Listen "Lee Kyung-ah, Director of Earth Fountain"
Episode Synopsis
Lee Kyung-ah started Earth Fountain in Jeju in 2019. Earth Fountain is a campaign where ordinary people—children, housewives, and office workers—come together to find and practice simple ways to care for the environment. Today, more than 90 cafés and restaurants across Jeju participate as refill stations where anyone with a tumbler can get free drinking water. The campaign has grown to include a refill map, walking tours, plogging, street performances, and campaign songs. Lee says, “It’s not just about water—it’s about how we live.” Earth Fountain is a network of people who want to take care of the Earth in ways that are easy, joyful, and shared. Living close to nature with her two cats, Lee continues to explore what it means to care for the planet with kindness and creativity.
