Question

4．On an ordinary weekday evening，Jane was at home as usual．As she was considering what she was going to do with her dinner plans for the evening，she was unexpectedly interrupted by an urgent call from her sister"get over here!"
A few hours later，Jane found herself with 8 strangers in the middle of the boiling desert heat of Utah（犹他州），picking up rubbish and raising awareness about zero．waste and climate change．
Armed with a deep love of the environment and a desire to make a difference，Jane，Davey，and a group of self described"environmental pick-up artists''went on a coast to coast road side rubbish pick-up．As they walked，sometimes only covering 0.9 miles in an entire day，they slowly and steadily made their way across the United States，picking up a total of 201，678 pounds of rubbish．In the end，three years and 3，672 miles later，they dipped their feet in the cold waters of the Pacific．
The road is windy，often up-hill．With a rubbish bag as your companion，how does one remind themselves that picking up that tiny gum wrapper on the ground makes a difference？Where do you find the strength to keep going？As I asked Jane and Davey to answer these questions，they shared remarkable stories of caring environment that gave them the efforts to continue their journey．
A small group of us were lucky enough to spend two hours last Wednesday evening listening to the remarkable stories of Jane and Davey．As they shared their deep concern for the environment，we together experienced their real spirit．Jane and Davey，like so many unknown heroes in our community，might not ever draw much attention like multi-million dollar funded projects．In many ways，it is exactly that which makes their story so attractive．
