The quiet of Green Park was broken by shouts: “Over here!” A student knelt(跪) by a bush, carefully lifting a plastic bag tangled(缠绕) in branches. Another hurried over with gloves and a trash bag. Their work had just begun.
On a sunny Saturday morning in June, a group of 15 middle school students, called the Park Protectors, met for the first time to clean up the park. They came with a goal: to remove(清除) hidden rubbish and restore the park's natural beauty.
As they worked, they shared stories. “I found a broken bicycle light last time,” said Li Hua, holding up a rusty(生锈的) can. “It’s amazing what people throw away.” The students collected bottles, cigarette ends, and even an old umbrella.
Part environmental group, part community project, the Park Protectors started as a class project. Their teacher, Mr Wang, wanted to teach them responsibility(责任). “Small actions can make a big difference,” he said. The group’s first cleanup removed 50 bags of rubbish.
When local news reported their work, many people were surprised. “I didn’t realise how much hidden rubbish there was,” said one park visitor. The students were invited to speak at a city meeting, where they suggested setting up more recycling bins.
Some people asked why teenagers were doing this work. “We’re not too young to care about our environment,” replied Zhang Wei. “And working together makes it fun!”
The Park Protectors plan to return every month. Their next goal: to plant trees along the river. As Li Hua said, “This park is our home. We want to keep it beautiful.”
