Chinanews, Beijing, Oct 24 – “Give me four apples and I don't want them to be wrapped in a plastic bag.”
The woman who bought the fruit was Wang Fengzhu, a junior college student at Huazhong Agricultural University. When she told the sales assistant about her requirement, the sales assistant was dumbfounded. Later, when the sale assistant habitually1 wrapped the apples into a plastic bag and gave the bag to her, Wang took the apples out and put them into her own black cloth bag. She then gave the plastic bag back to the sales assistant, the China Youth Daily reported. Wang was born in 1986 and was a small woman. Last August, she was chosen as a young consultant2 by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), becoming the only Chinese young woman to work with such title in UNEP. Recently, she attended the third Northeast Asia Youth Environmental Forum3 held in Japan. Wang could speak English fluently. Her talkative manner won her a nickname “Kaixingguo (the happy one).” To Wang, protecting the environment has become the most important mission in her life. However, the young woman thought that what she did were just trivial things to accomplish such mission. She often puts a pair of chopsticks in her bag. The chopsticks are wrapped in a piece of cloth. On the cloth, there is a line of Chinese characters that read “our forests are diminishing.” Wherever she eats, whether in the school dining hall or in restaraunts, she will always bring the chopsticks with her. She never litters, never treads on lawns and never uses plastic bags, although to Wang, all these things are minor4 things on environmental protection issue. If she happens to see someone walking on lawns, she will pull him or her back immediately. When Christmas or New Year comes, many of her classmates will exchange postcards with their freinds. When Wang see these postcards, she will feel very pitiful as if she saw that many trees were being cut off. Once, she couldn't sleep well for several days until one day she came up with a good idea to handle the issue. She and people from the Huazhong Agricultural University Green Association tried to persuade students to send fruits to their friends on festival occasions. They even promised to do the delivery work without charging any costs. Wang is happy to see that many students have joined her in environmental protection mission. In the Huazhong Agricultural University Green Association, there are now more than 1,000 students who paricipate in environmental protection work. In Wuhan University and other universities in Wuhan, students have established their own environmental protection associations on campus. Members of these associations often contact each other to try to organize some activities to make their contributions to the environmental protection mission.
