>Pick up trash in waterways
划船游欧洲顺便捡垃圾
To bring awareness to the problem of water pollution, Greenkayak, a Denmark-based environmental group, is letting travelers kayak for free on a number of Europe's rivers and lakes - as long as they pick up any garbage they find along the way.
为提高人们对水污染问题的认识,总部位于丹麦的环保组织"绿色皮艇"让游客们在欧洲的一些河流和湖泊中免费划皮艇,只需他们在沿途捡捡垃圾。
Greenkayakers are provided with the basics: a life-vest, a paddle, a trash picker, a bucket for the garbage, and two hours of free kayak-time.
"绿色皮艇"提供了基本的装备:一件救生衣、一只桨、垃圾捡拾器、垃圾桶和两个小时的免费皮划艇时间。
You don't need to be an experienced kayaker or an avid swimmer, as you won't need to make direct physical contact with the water.
因为不需要与水进行直接的身体接触,你不需要是经验丰富的皮划艇运动员或狂热的游泳爱好者。
Since the program began in April 2017,Greenkayakers have collected nearly 24,000 pounds of trash - including plastic bags, bottles,lighters, shoes, and tote bags - from European waterways.
自2017年4月该项目启动以来,参与者已经从欧洲水域收集了近2.4万磅的垃圾,包括塑料袋、瓶子、打火机、鞋子和大手提袋。
