Ryan Hickman, a 14 - year - old student from the US, has become a young environmental hero. On April 20, he and many volunteers from Project 3R, the nonprofit he created, started a five - week campaign to remove trash(清除垃圾)from five beaches along the southern California coast and some in Mexico.
Since 2012, he and others who helped him have collected about 2 million bottles and cans from beaches, lakes and rivers.
Hickman first learned the impacts of pollution at the Pacific Marine Mammal Center(PMMC,太平洋海洋哺乳动物中心)in Laguna Beach, which has been rescuing sea lions and seals for more than 40 years. Watching the animals improve inspired him to think about what he could do to help.
From a young age, Hickman had developed a love for recycling and had always liked trash trucks. He put them together and began raising money by collecting recyclables. In 2017, Hickman handed a 10,000 check over to the PMMC after picking up 50,000 pounds of trash and more than 200,000 recyclable bottles.
Along with organizing volunteer cleanups, Hickman has also traveled worldwide, speaking to kids about caring for the planet and oceans. At the Ocean Institute in California, he started a program where primary school students clean local beaches and then board the institute's teaching ship to learn about pollution's impact. “If I inspire even one person to act, it's worth it. Everyone can help protect our planet — one piece of trash at a time,” he said.

瑞安·希克曼，一名来自美国的14岁学生，已经成为一名年轻的环保英雄。4月20日，他和许多来自“3R计划”（他创立的非营利组织）的志愿者，开启了一项为期五周的活动，旨在清除加利福尼亚州南部海岸的五个海滩以及墨西哥的一些海滩上的垃圾。
自2012年以来，他和其他帮助他的人已经从海滩、湖泊和河流中收集了大约200万个瓶子和罐子。
希克曼最初是在拉古纳海滩的太平洋海洋哺乳动物中心了解到污染的影响的，该中心已经拯救海狮和海豹40多年了。看到这些动物有所好转，这激励他思考自己能做些什么来提供帮助。

除了组织志愿者清理活动外，希克曼还周游世界，向孩子们宣讲关爱地球和海洋的知识。在加利福尼亚州的海洋研究所，他启动了一个项目，小学生们清理当地的海滩，然后登上该研究所的教学船，了解污染的影响。“如果我能激励哪怕一个人采取行动，这也是值得的。每个人都可以帮助保护我们的星球——一次清理一件垃圾，”他说。
