A Beach Cleanup in Keelung
A Beach Cleanup in Keelung
1Last spring, Mei-ling, a senior high school student in Keelung, joined a beach cleanup organized by her school's environmental club. She expected to pick up a few plastic bottles. Instead, in just two hours, her team of twelve collected more than forty kilograms of trash.
2The most common items were not bottles but small pieces of plastic: bottle caps, straws, and broken bits of foam. "These are the hardest to clean up," the club leader explained. "They are so small that they slip through our fingers—and fish often mistake them for food."
3Mei-ling was shocked. That evening, she searched online and learned that plastic does not simply disappear in the ocean. Instead, it slowly breaks into smaller and smaller pieces called microplastics, which can stay in the water for a very long time.
4The experience changed her habits. She now carries her own cup and chopsticks, and she persuaded her family to stop buying bottled water. "One person can't solve the problem," she says, "but if everyone changes a little, the ocean will notice."
