“Trash Collection” Activity in QinlingDec. 25, 2009　Toyo Engineering Corporation(China)

As part of their volunteer “trash collection” activities, some of our site staff visited “GAOSHANCAODIAN”, one of the most famous tourist sites in Qinling-Xian on December 2009.

The saddle-shaped, 2,200-meter GAOSHANCAODIAN has few trees, but is covered with shrubs and weeds. Unfortunately, it’s also a popular mountain path for irresponsible tourists. Large quantities of trash and non-biodegradable plastic bags are discarded randomly everywhere on the hill.

Our volunteer group used shovels and their bare hands to dig out any trash that had been covered with snow.
