7 . When Alex Lin was 11 years old, he came across an alarming article in the newspaper highlighting the improper handling of e-waste, such as burying outdated computers in backyards and throwing cell phones in the garbage. This is dangerous as e-waste contains poisonous chemicals and substances that can leak into the environment, getting into crops, animals, water supplies, and even humans.
“I was deeply concerned,” recalls Alex. He immediately conducted a survey to assess the situation in his town. The results were astonishing: Among the respondents, only one in eight even knew what e-waste was, let alone how to properly dispose of it.
Determined to make a difference, Alex immediately set up a project under WIN, the organization he had established with his friends two years prior to address, community issues. The WIN team publicized their efforts in the local newspaper and distributed notices to students. urging residents to bring their unwanted electronics to the school parking lot. They successfully collected over 21,000 pounds of e-waste, including outdated computers from the school system. Following this, they established a permanent e-waste drop-off center.
Recognizing the importance of reuse, which is seven times more efficient than recycling, Alex and his team began exploring ways to returnish (翻新) the old computers. He persuaded his school to integrate computer refurbishment into the curriculum, enabling students to collect, restore, and distribute 260 computers to children in need.
Realizing that a drop-off center alone was not a sustainable solution, Alex took his efforts to the state level in 2006. He spoke at the state house, advocating for a new e-waste bill that would outlaw the dumping (倾倒) of e-waste. Along with other supporters, he engaged with lawmakers, presented slideshows, and gathered over 370 signatures. Ultimately, the bill was passed into law.

Shecna Southall, a 22-year-old student, was eager to test her limit when she agreed
She saw an advertisement,
The job was
No amount of begging (乞求) would change my father’s mind about getting a pet. No matter how desperately I begged, his answer was "No! " Finally, I accepted that he was not going to change his mind. I did the only thing that I could. I spent as much time as possible around other people’s pets and I often spent time at a place called Best Friends, an animal shelter near my house. Animals ended up there when their owners could no longer care for them.
Whenever I visited the shelter (收容所), I dreamed about taking one of the dogs home with me. One day after school, I stopped off at Best Friends like I usually did. Suddenly, I saw a large, shaggy, yellow dog standing in the corner, and when he saw me, he wagged his tail and began whining (哀鸣).
“That’s Fenway,” Renee, the woman at the desk, said. “He whines continuously. His owners brought him here when they moved overseas.”
“He must be lonely,” I suggested.
“Your parents won’t let you have a dog?” Renee asked. I didn’t answer, but my look must have said everything, because then she said, “That’s too bad. These dogs need good homes and good people to take care of them.” On my way home, I had an idea to assist shelter pets like Fenway. I wrote a touching story as if Fenway were writing it. I told all about his family and why he had no home, shedding light on (解释) his longing for a loving family. With the shelter director’s approval, I proposed sharing more stories in newspapers and online to attract potential adopters.
The next weekend, the shelter was flooded with families who wanted pets. They were all drawn by the heartfelt stories of animals like Fenway. Fenway’s tail wagged so fast that I was afraid it might fall off. I stood with Fenway as people admired him. His playful nature and hopeful eyes won over many visitors` hearts, leading to a rise in adoptions.
