I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13. My parents took us there for camping. On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to E1 Capitan, a 16 rock of 3,300 feet straight up. I touched that giant rock and knew 17 I wanted to climb it. That has been my life’s passion (钟爱) ever since 18 the rocks and mountains of Yosemite. I’ve long made Yosemite my 19 .
About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of 20 , like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area. It’s 21 me why visitors started respecting the place 22 and treated such a beautiful home-like place this way.
I tried 23 trash(垃圾)myself, but the job was too big. I would 24 an hour or two on the job, only to find the area trashed all over again weeks later. Finally, I got so 25 it that I decided something had to change.
As a rock-climbing guide, I knew 26 about organizing any big event. But in 2004, together with some climbers, I set a date for a 27 . On that day, more than 300 people 28 . Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of trash. It was amazing how much we were able to 29 . I couldn’t believe the 30 we made—the park looked clean!
Each year volunteers come for the cleanup from everywhere. In 2007 alone, 2,945 people 31 42,330 pounds of trash.
I often hear people 32 about their surroundings. If you are one of them, I would say the only way to change things is by 33 rather than complaining. We need to teach by 34 . You can’t blame others 35 you start with yourself.
