Hiking along the trail to enjoy the beautiful nature and learn to be a responsible hiker

Volunteers learnt how to become responsible nature lovers and protect our natural environment during the 4-hour hike along the Ma On Shan Country Trail. They collected 8 bags of rubbish ranging from cans, tissues, food packages, cigarette butts, and plastic bottles to food waste. The team also recycled the rubbish collected when they arrived at the rubbish station on one of the estates at the end of the trail.

Description

其實只要每個人做好自己本份,行山時注意不要丟下垃圾,保持環境乾淨,拾山上垃圾的義工是可以不用存在的,為環境出一份力固然有意義,最深刻的是在山頂上一小女孩過來問是否需要幫忙,還有途人的感謝,甚至有車子特地停下來,裡面的是外國人,他告訴我們「good job!」

There was a lot of rubbish along the Hiking track. After we picked it up I realized the importance of being environmentally friendly and responsible for our own stuff. Rubbish should be placed in a rubbish bin and not dumped on the floor. We should enjoy the beautiful environment and fresh air provided by the Earth. We also need to treasure it and be responsible!
