This reminds me of my neighbor, Amy, who’s in her early twenties. I think she’s a college student but I can’t say for sure. I honestly don’t know much about her except that she’s pretty quiet. But lately, I’ve heard a lot about her. She’s now become a celebrity in our neighborhood: she’s an environmentalist.  

I noticed that she’s always doing something for the community, like picking up trash and litter. You know, she goes out of her way to turn off the taps in the public restrooms, especially in the parks. Actually, many people forget to turn off the water after washing their hands. That's why she goes to check on them every now and then. On top of that, she's an advocate of "Earth Hour", which is a worldwide movement encouraging people to reduce their consumption of electricity. She actually puts up signs and posters to educate the neighbors about this meaningful movement. 

Many neighbors, including me, are touched by her persistence. I truly admire her for her commitment and willingness. After all, environmental protection is still in its infancy.
