【推荐1】Since the age of 5,Laura Lee has had a strange habit—she collects cardboard toilet-paper rolls（厕所卷纸筒）. She didn’t know this habit would one day become a recycling movement.
In 2018,Lee set up a goal to collect 1,000 kilograms of these rolls. She was then a 16-year-old student at Nanyang Girls’ High School in Singapore. As of February 2021,she collected 860 kg. She received an Ecofriend Award from the Singapore government.
Why did she choose toilet rolls?“They are convenient to collect and also one of the purest forms of waste to recycle because they are made of only one material,” Lee told Singapore Today. “It’s more difficult to recycle pens because they are made up of too many different materials like rubber casings（橡胶外壳）,metals and plastics,which require more resources to separate（分离）.”
Lee went into a partnership with the waste management firm Veolia. The firm gave her money for every kilogram of toilet rolls.
She organized “toilet roll challenges” within her school and worked with cleaners to collect used toilet rolls. She gave speeches about what she was doing at local schools. She also raises awareness（意识）about different social groups through her Instagram Live series,“On A Roll”.
One big challenge Lee faces is others doubting her because of her young age.“I always have toy use my actions to prove that I’m passionate（有热情的）and know about this,” she said. She will donate the money collected to a social cause focused on community health.
