In a group of camp mentors composed mostly of post-90s, there is such a post-70s mentor, who plays motorcycles, kayaks, and climbs snowy mountains.
He is an enthusiast of various outdoor extreme sports;
He designed, carpentered, and played graffiti.
has the imagination and creativity of young people;
He is the "child king" who is the most child-like in our team...
He often makes our group of post-90s generations express such feelings.
"In 20 years, I'm going to be so cool! ”
He has a cool appearance, but he is engaged in one of the most affectionate careers - outdoor environmental protection;
He is the protagonist of this storyThe camp environmental officer has a bald head and beard
Because he loves to play too much, he "played" from an industrial designer to an outdoor coach.
My name is Yue Lichen.
More than 10 years ago, I was a full-time industrial designer.
In my spare time, I often go outdoors to participate in some outdoor activities, get in touch with nature, kayaking, mountaineering, hiking, skiing, and everything else.
I loved the outdoors so much that I became an outdoor instructor.
A trip to the first place.
Associated with outdoor environmental protection.
One year, I went to ** to teach and ride.
When passing through the Sichuan-Tibet border, it is a place with very beautiful scenery.
But when you see the foot, the ground is full of garbage, including disposable lunch boxes, beer bottles, mineral water bottles, paper towels, ......
At first glance, these things are not left by the locals, but only by some self-driving and hiking.
I was so shocked by the contrast that I started to reflect on it ever since.
In the city, there are environmental workers and various environmental protection facilities, and people just need to follow the corresponding guidance.
But when it comes to the outdoors, it's different, there are no staff and environmental protection facilities, and at this time, we need a high degree of self-discipline on the part of those of us who go outdoors.
But many people don't have this awareness, so the damage to the natural environment is really great.
At that time, I was thinking about how to use to get more people to join voluntarily.
Start with children and "play" with environmental protection
In fact, it has always been difficult to do environmental protection, and when I was doing this environmental protection promotion, I found a problem.
It's hard for us to change our minds, but by changing our children's minds, we can influence their parents, and our children's influence on their parents.
It is more influential than our preaching on their parents.
That's why I want to put these resources on environmental protection and let them play their partLet young people be environmental promoters.
Later, I promoted outdoor environmental protection in many youth camps, of course, not simply to teach them theoretical knowledge.
It's about letting the kids be realStep into the natural environment
Through fun games, installations, interactive classes, and other ways to experience itand make them feel it.
Nature has been severely damaged, and then we do it from the bottom of our hearts.
I often use short ** or comic ways to record it,Make environmental protection activities more groundedto guide children to develop a green and environmentally friendly lifestyle.
Come to the Panda Forest and incarnatemostCoolCamp Environmental Officer
Later, I came to the Panda Forest Camp.
Because the camp itself is in a nature reserve, we hope to guide the children who come to the camp to be aware of being guests in the forestBe courteous and respectful of the forest and the environment.
I started to promote environmental education in the camp, with environmental cartoons, wall paintings, installations, and manuals.
Through interesting teaching methods and.
Environmentally friendly interactive devices based on life scenesLet the children who come to the camp feel that environmental protection is a ritual thing.
For example, this plastic bottle compression device, in fact, its practical value is far lower than its sense of ceremony, but it can arouse the interest of the campers, and the campers have mastered a relatively complete garbage ** program in the process of compressing plastic bottles.
This is different from the moment he used to casually throw a mineral water bottle, which is a sense of ritual.
When the camper does this, he has actually taken a very important step in environmental protection, and if our mentor gives them some encouragement, then he may continue on this path.
In addition to these environmental protection installations, I also designed some environmental graffiti and environmental cartoons.
For example, the giant panda on the wall at the entrance to the camp.
This panda is different from the general impression of us, it is not cute but very fierce, telling you that this is a place for pandas to guard, pandas hate people who do not care for the environment, these patterns will be given to people who come here.
It produces a certain amount of thinking and visual impact.
Let children become promoters of environmental protection.
In the process of promoting the environmental protection of the camp in Panda Forest, there is one thing that impresses me deeply.
At a camp, a child saw a pair of chopsticks in a kitchen waste bin, and he told me that there was a pair of chopsticks in it, so I asked him who threw the chopsticks and we should let him get them."
As a result, he said he had already picked out the chopsticks.
I thought it was a very good thing, and I think that's when we were doing environmental education in the camp.
Some of the influences on the children make me feel that environmental education in the camp is a very meaningful thing."
Environmental protection is actually really simple.
It is very helpful for children to understand what kind of harmonious relationship between man and nature is, which is very helpful for them to develop a correct world view.
When he was a child, he had the idea of environmental protection, knowingHow to deal with nature correctly
How to treat the world in the right way
Then, from his perspective, he will pass on the relationship between man and nature that he sees to his family, so as to influence more people.
From this source, many unenvironmentally friendly behaviors will be prevented.
In the camp, Mr. Yue often organizes us to participate in some environmental protection training, telling us interesting environmental protection stories from different perspectives, so that everyone in the camp can participate in environmental protectionGradually let environmental protection become a way of life for us.
We began to consciously classify garbage, consciously not waste food and eat every grain of rice, and consciously love every animal and plant in the forest as we treat friends.
Mr. Yue told us with his words and deeds, in fact, environmental protection, is not too much preaching, but to start doing, when you do this thing, you will find that your soul will also be purified, you will feel the meaning and value of environmental protection.
And when we agree with it in our hearts and practice environmental protection, we canBehavior of the camp instructor
It is the best environmental education for the children who come to the camp.
