Many citizens took advantage of the Easter holiday to camp and outing on outlying islands. Today (6th) is the last red day. After five days in the camping area of Donglong Island, a popular camping spot, there is a lot of garbage on the ground; and the situation near the cliffs. It is even more serious, with used paper towels everywhere, beer cans and other garbage, and even a bag of spaghetti with sauce hung on a branch.
According to campers, cleaners have cleared the trash cans in the camp in the morning, but the reporters saw that the garbage was still piled up at the site; soda cans were piled up near the dock store, and it is unknown whether anyone will recycle it.
Some enthusiastic citizens bring garbage bags to collect garbage along the road and take them back to the city for disposal while hiking; some camping enthusiasts said that taking garbage away after camping is a basic consciousness, and every camper should develop this habit.
Enthusiastic hikers collecting rubbish along the road: fulfill their civic duty
Citizens did not even travel outside of the country during the Easter holiday this year, and camping in the suburbs has become a popular activity for many people.
Today is the last day of the Easter holiday. The reporter arrived at Donglong Island to inspect the camp.
The reporter walked along the wharf to the camp area. The road was relatively clean, but a lot of rubbish was dumped in the rocks near the wharf, lined up in a row, and even attracted a lot of flies; some enthusiastic hikers took garbage bags with them when they hiked. He also collects the rubbish along the road and takes it out of the city for disposal. He called it "Hike the mountains and take the rubbish by the way" and "do your civic responsibility."
However, near the pier, I saw many bags of soda cans piled up like a mountain, some of which were randomly placed on the ground, and some were carried by nets, one of which was hung on a tree.
Although the soda cans are collectively disposed of in the same place, it is unknown whether anyone will collect them.
Call to take away the rubbish notice board, abandoned grass, bushes and rocks, turned into garbage collection points
As reporters get closer and closer to the camp, there is more and more garbage on the road; all kinds of garbage, such as aluminum cans, boxed beverage packaging, plastic bottles, and plastic forks, are scattered on the ground of the camp; For seriousness, even a bag of spaghetti with sauce was hung on the branch.
The sign urging campers to take away the rubbish was also dumped in the grass like other rubbish.
There were originally three trash bins in the camp, all of which have been blasted by campers’ trash. Outside the bins is a trash mountain made up of countless trash bags. According to campers, some cleaners have already I cleaned up the rubbish once early, but because there was too much rubbish, the situation in the rubbish mountain last night was even more exaggerated. When the reporter left, he found that a lot of rubbish was dumped in a row near the pier and was even attracted. A lot of flies.
Camping enthusiasts: taking trash away after camping is a basic consciousness
Camping enthusiast Mr. Huang believes that taking garbage away after camping should be a basic consciousness. "What Hong Kong campers do is to bring them back (garbage)." He pointed out that Donglong Island is considered to have convenient transportation, so it is easier for cleaners to collect garbage. , But he is also used to taking rubbish out of the urban area for disposal; if other more remote camps only collect rubbish once or twice a week, the amount of rubbish will not be enough, so campers have the ability to take rubbish away by themselves.
