Seeks to establish a sustainable Korean society by harmonizing the Korean people with their natural environment.

In South Korea on June 6th [2000], there was a demonstration for the abolishment of the US military base in Maehyang-ri, the main bombing site for the US military located an hour from Seoul. (Fighter planes from Okinawa, Guam, the Philippines and other places conduct bombing drills in this area.) In this event about 3,000 local citizens, students, civil organizations and labor unions gathered to demonstrate. Demonstrating continued until July and the US soldiers bombed over the heads of a Catholic priest, civil organizations and students gathered in the bombing site for peaceful demonstration. The US soldiers neglected the request to refrain from bombing, even though there were people inside the bombing range. And furthermore, the Korean government covered up these outrageous acts committed by the US military.
