捡垃圾的老外
路乞,英名.L.Rothey,今年65岁,现在武汉新东方学校任教。这位美国老头给自己起的中名叫“路乞”,意思就是“路边的乞丐”。路乞和志愿者所到之处,烟头、废纸等各种垃圾立刻被“请进”垃圾桶,少了它们的“点缀”,道路转眼间变得整洁起。行走中,一些行人也被他们感染。市区办事的郭婕,毫不犹豫地加入了捡垃圾的行列……她说:“我真后悔没把女儿带受受教育。”
  路乞说:“我认为捡垃圾的乞丐做的是爱护环境的工作,是很高尚、很重要的工作。”当然,乞丐并不是路乞的职业。退休前,他是一位法律工作者,现在的名片上印着“法学博士”。1984年他第一次因公到中国,从此对中国化产生浓厚兴趣,先后华50余次。去年9月他到湖北省黄石市,与该市女书法家孟顺波共结连理,定居中国。
  居住黄石期间,他走在路上看到垃圾就捡,让夫人十分不解。路乞说:“我重视我的‘环境’。黄石是我的生活环境,我只是希望它更干净、更美好。”路乞也许不懂“身体力行”、“潜移默化”等中国成语,却用实际行动感动着他身边的人。在黄石,已有数百名志愿者跟他一起,不定期地做着捡拾垃圾、宣传环保的工作。路乞把它称作“五意工程”(义务、意识、意志、意气、毅力)。
  当然,路乞认为环境问题不能仅靠捡垃圾解决,他更爱与市民交流,传播爱护环境的意识。“太多人觉得环保根本‘没关系’了!前几天在黄石,一个人一边说‘知道你的事情,见到你很高兴’,一边就随手扔掉香烟盒和我握手———他根本不理解我的行动的意义。我马上把他的香烟盒捡了起。另外,一些中国人的家里都是非常干净的,可是一出家门几步远,就很脏了。这就不是卫生习惯的问题,而是心态的问题。我要捡的不只是路面的垃圾,更是人心里的垃圾。”
希望同学们从一点一滴做起,爱护环境,爱护我们赖以生存的家园!
