My original blueprint of Earthhood was to collect creditable information about earth preservation. But I thought it would be a powerful proof of what each individual, as small as a high-school student, can do for earth protection during this urgent period. Thus I changed it to a blog form website, where every story in this Eco-friendly journey is recorded.
I hope our works will bring changes to the environment! (Special thanks to my family, friends and teachers, who generously offer great advice and supports to Earthhood XD)

First, thanks to YS Ding for putting up this website and inviting me to be part of this great group. I have been informed about the importance of environmental conservation since I was little, however, I have never discovered a way to put the concept of environmental conservation into actions. I hope this website serves not only as a guidance for me but for many more people who wish to put their effort into saving the earth as well!!!

As a child I was always warned about the impact that humans have on the earth, to the point that I was afraid that every piece of trash was shorting the earth’s lifespan by years. It was pointless to help because the earth was past the point of no return. But thankfully due to me growing up I have learned that it is not like that, that I could still help. Not ‘save’ the earth, but instead make a difference in small ways, in ways that if everyone did it the earth would stand a chance. If everyone takes care of one piece of the puzzle then the load will be lighter on and better for everyone. This is why I joined Earthood.

Before I joined the EARTHHOOD, I thought environment conservation is a topic that I will never have a chance to contribute to as a high school student. Now, I’m glad that the EARTHHOOD offered me an opportunity to do something for every single one of us. I wish my earnest effort could bring changes to this earth we love.

我从小在深圳长大，住在高耸的城市间，从没见过萤火虫，也不曾眺望过星空。我拥有的是便利的交通，璀璨的霓虹，以及精心修剪过的灌木。可是我总觉得我的生活缺少了什么，但是我一直未能察觉。十几年来，我以为自然就是深圳湾旁人工栽植的花草，和远处依稀看到的几只海鸟。我一度觉得只要拥有美团外卖，喜茶，和购物商场，花花草草甚至可以从这近乎完美的城市里剔除。有谁会去那些垃圾横尸遍野、蚊虫漫天飞舞的“自然”，如果人们能瘫倒在沙发上边看电视边喝奶茶？但是并不是。直到我移居海外，直到看到陡峭的山峰分割开浩瀚的星辰，看到斑斓的海草在透绿的海水中翻滚，看到慵懒沐浴着日光的海狮发出响亮的鼻鼾，看到驼鹿在路边漫步，我才恍然意识到我与自然擦身而过。新时代的我，没有看见过深圳漫山遍野的萤火虫，我只能看见层层叠叠的高楼，我不再觉得这个城市完美，我意识到高速的发展和对环境的忽视剥夺了所有人享有自然的权利。我想把真正的大自然，与自然邂逅的机会带回中国，让人们不再只是苟且于表面的城市绿化而是能够在不经意间将自然拥入怀中。

Although I’ve been aware of the importance of environmental preservation for most of my life, I was never given a chance to involve myself in any activity’s until YS Ding and WQ Li introduced me to EARTHHOOD. I’m glad that I have been given the opportunity in high school to participate with other students who care for the environment as I do.

Environmental protection, one of the hottest topics, always gets a great amount of attention; however, the general public is still not fully aware of the serious consequences that a polluted environment could potentially result in. EARTHOOD, a website created by YS Ding, provides a great platform for teenagers to participate in environmental protection activities. I am greatly honored to be a part of such meaningful organization . I firmly believe that, with our joint effort, EARTHOOD is able to promote more green activities and to make our Mother Earth a better home for everyone.
