Action Speaks Louder
The environmental action plan was approved by the school council, and the notice board announced it in bold letters: 'Green Campus 2030 — Action Speaks Louder Than Words.' The plan had three parts: waste sorting, energy saving, and recycling. 'Every measure will be monitored and reported,' the announcement said. 'Progress must be measured, or it is only a dream.' The announcement was signed by the student council, and everyone felt a new sense of purpose.
环保行动计划获得了校务委员会批准，公告栏用大字宣布：“绿色校园 2030——行动胜于言语。”计划分三部分：垃圾分类、节约能源和回收利用。“每项措施都将被监测和报告，”公告说，“进步必须被衡量，否则只是梦想。”公告由学生会签署，每个人都感到一种新的使命感。
The first week, colour-coded bins appeared in every corridor: blue for paper, green for food waste, grey for other rubbish, and red for batteries and electronics. Han Mei stood beside the bins at lunchtime, patiently explaining the rules. 'Batteries must not be thrown into the ordinary bins,' she told a confused first-year student. 'They are collected separately and sent to special treatment.'
第一周，每个走廊都出现了彩色垃圾桶：蓝色装纸，绿色装厨余，灰色装其他垃圾，红色装电池和电子产品。午餐时 Han Mei 站在桶旁耐心讲解规则。“电池不能扔进普通垃圾桶，”她对一位困惑的学弟说，“它们被单独收集，送往特殊处理。”
The energy-saving team was led by Jack, who had become unexpectedly passionate about light switches. 'Lights must be turned off when the classroom is empty,' he announced, standing in the doorway like a general. 'Air conditioners must be set above twenty-six degrees in summer.' He designed a rota, and the class began to compete for the lowest energy bill of the month. The competition for the lowest electricity bill became the most exciting game of the term.
节能小组由 Jack 带队，他对电灯开关产生了出人意料的热爱。“教室没人的时候必须关灯，”他站在门口像将军一样宣布，“夏天空调必须设在二十六度以上。”他设计了一张轮值表，全班开始竞争谁当月电费最低。最低电费竞赛成了这学期最刺激的游戏。
The recycling team organised a 'Swap Shop': once a month, students could bring old books, clothes, and toys, and take something they liked in exchange. 'One person's rubbish is another person's treasure,' Lily said, holding up a slightly worn teddy bear. 'This bear has been loved before. Now it will be loved again.' The shop was so popular that they had to move it to the gym.
回收小组组织了“交换商店”：每月一次，学生可以带来旧书、旧衣服和旧玩具，换走一件自己喜欢的东西。“一个人的垃圾是另一个人的宝贝，”Lily 举着一只略显破旧的泰迪熊说，“这只熊被爱过，现在它将被再次爱。”商店太受欢迎，他们不得不把它搬到体育馆。
By the end of the term, the results were printed in the school report: waste had been reduced by thirty percent, electricity by fifteen, and two hundred kilograms of materials had been given a second life. 'The numbers speak for themselves,' the headmaster said at the assembly. 'What has been achieved here proves that young people, when given responsibility, rise to it.' The numbers were printed in blue, the school colour, and the students pointed at them proudly.
学期末，结果印进了学校报告：垃圾减少百分之三十，用电减少百分之十五，两百公斤物品获得第二次生命。“数字会说话，”校长在校会上说，“这里的成就证明：年轻人一旦被赋予责任，就会担起责任。”数字用校色蓝色印刷，学生们自豪地指着它们。
That spring, the school received a 'Green School' award from the city. At the ceremony, the reporter asked Han Mei what the secret was. She thought for a moment and said: 'There is no secret. We just discovered that every small action, repeated every day, becomes a big one. The earth does not need us to be heroes. It needs us to be consistent.' The applause, like the plan, had been a long time coming. The award was placed in the school hall, next to the trophies of old champions.
那年春天，学校获得了市里的“绿色学校”奖。典礼上，记者问 Han Mei 秘诀是什么。她想了一会儿说：“没有秘诀。我们只是发现：每个小行动，每天重复，就会变成大行动。地球不需要我们当英雄，它需要我们始终如一。”掌声像这个计划一样，酝酿了很久很久。奖牌被放进学校大厅，摆在历届冠军奖杯旁边。
