He has a big bag in his hand. What is he doing? The seven-year-old American boy named Ryan Hickman has become a big hit in newspaper and on the internet, not because of singing or dancing but because of sorting and selling bottles and cans. When he was about 3 years old, he watched his parents recycling used things. Then he started to collect used bottles and cans. Every day he goes around the neighborhoods and gives out collecting bags. After he collects the bottles and cans, he washes them and stores them in big bins. When there are enough bottles and cans, his father helps to take them to a recycling station. He continued his work and his business grew. Then his parents helped him set up his own recycling company. The company is at their home. It has its own T-shirt. The company has a website --- http://. Now Ryan company has become famous and many people help it and work with it. He is now helping to protect the sea animals.
He has won a prize for his good work for a GREEN world.
Here is a video A reporter is interviewing Ryan Hickman. Watch, please. 【以下内容适合初一以上】 (copied from the "About" page of www.) In 2012 at the age of 3, Ryan went along with his dad to the local recycling center and cashed in a few small bags of cans and bottles and decided that recycling was in his future. The day after going to the recycling center, Ryan notified his mom and dad that he wanted to give empty plastic bags to all the neighbors and maybe they would save their recyclables for him. Not only did the local neighbors save their cans and bottles for Ryan but so did their friends, families and co-workers. Today, Ryan has customers all over Orange County, CA and he has a passion to recycle that is amazing. Ryan spends a part of every week sorting thru cans and bottles from his customers and getting them ready to take to the recycle center. In December 2016 and January 2017, Ryan’s recycling story went viral and he was featured on hundreds of web sites around the planet. Thank you to everyone who have sent Ryan encouraging emails and supporting his passion. Ryan is saving for his future college education (although he might tell you he’s saving for a full size trash truck) and he is a Youth Ambassador at the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach. All proceeds from his company t-shirts go to help support their volunteer efforts. People ask all the time what kind of items that Ryan recycles. Ryan collects plastic and glass beverage bottles as well as aluminum cans. Ryan and his parents take them in by the truckload every few weeks to the local redemption center where they are unloaded, sorted and weighed. If you’d like to help Ryan and help the environment at the same time, contact him here to schedule a pick up. Thank you to all of Ryan’s customers and friends and family who have supported his ambitions and hard work recycling since he started his business. Special thanks to Allison Jarrell at the Capistrano Dispatch for letting us use some of her photos for this site. 【注】如果您有适合小学生的国外新闻题材，请留言告知凌哥。题材来源不一定要英语网站的，但是内容要是新近的新闻。 |
