Experience Sharing
Autumn night, the weather is not cold nor hot, it is a good time to visit, and I and two students in Qingjiang small front waiting to visit the country's "Mr. Simple" At half past eight, they gradually people began to recycle , and so on for a while, finally saw Mr. Jane's figure, because only ten minutes of access time, so I was very nervous to prepare questions to ask him.
At the same time asked him, I realized, had to do the recovery is a simple thing, but in order to take care of Mr. Kan and his wife, four children at home, or doing hard recovery, a four or five years to do that, but at least one day to do more than two hours.
Mr. Kan said, iron, plastic bottles and paper have a lot of people will bring recovery, but still the largest paper. He met many enthusiastic when recycling households willing to give him a lot of recycled material, but it was not for him, so he was a little sad. Because it is a private recycling, EPA will not let Mr. Jane and their contact, so can not appear together and garbage trucks recycling, making working time is very limited; when recovered, Mr. Kan only just opened a car, he said, the car is the most important tool when recovered, no it can not put the recyclables.
Finally, we all do together to help Mr. Kan recovery, moving some paper and plastic bottles to him, not only we are very happy, he exposed a smile of gratitude, let us feel able to help others is a happy thing.
Mr. Jian to recycle not only in order to maintain his family, but also for environmental protection to pay an effort, so we usually do a good job should be recovered, take good care of Mother Earth, so that the Earth may have been endless afloat.
