“綠眼睛”看世界

“綠眼睛”，對稚氣撲臉的命名者方明和而言，其用意是非常純真的：他們決心像保護眼睛一樣保護人類的生存環(huán)境。用他的話來說：“綠，是環(huán)境的主題，更是希望的底色與詩性。”

方明和，一位中國普通的中學生。一群溫州蒼南的中學生們在他的倡議下，自發(fā)創(chuàng)立了“綠眼睛”青少年環(huán)保團體。成立五年來，“綠眼睛”懷著對人類生存環(huán)境之綠的擔憂與關愛，各自從身邊每一件利于環(huán)保的小事做起，不畏困難險阻，堅忍不拔，扎扎實實，成績卓然，受到國內(nèi)外環(huán)保組織的關注與嘉獎：2001年，方明和代表“綠眼睛”在北京人民大會堂接受了國家環(huán)保總局局長親自授予的全球最大的環(huán)保獎項之一——福特環(huán)保獎；2002年至2004年，聯(lián)合國和平大使珍·古道爾博士三次授予“綠眼睛”Roots Shoots年度成就獎；2003年，“綠眼睛”再次榮獲國家級“地球獎”，成為中國獲獎級別最高的環(huán)保組織。

如今，“綠眼睛”活力蓬勃，影響愈來愈廣泛，由“綠眼睛”成員帶動的環(huán)保公益項目已經(jīng)分布全國許多地區(qū)，“綠眼睛”成了中國青少年環(huán)保運動的杰出代表。

“一個非常勇敢的孩子”

在世界地球日，2005年4月22日這一天，“綠眼睛”再次赴京領取首屆SEE生態(tài)獎。著名經(jīng)濟學家吳敬璉對“綠眼睛”的環(huán)保行為大加贊揚，他說：“今天我們看見了溫州的年輕人朋友，他們對于守望家園不但有理念且有決心和行動，他們代表‘希望的一代’!”

受到著名經(jīng)濟學家吳敬璉大加贊揚的這位年輕朋友方明和，既不是社會大人物，也不是商壇著名企業(yè)家，他是一位尋常的年輕人，一位普通中學生。

方明和對大自然的熱愛，對生存環(huán)境的保護意識，出于他的秉性，他從小就有兩個愛好：善待動物和博覽環(huán)保書報。

初三那年方明和15歲。他細心喂養(yǎng)的那只狗懷孕了，這讓他又驚又喜。但方明和特別擔心，狗下崽時怎樣幫它接生呢?他查找獸醫(yī)方面的書，當他為狗接生知識還未弄懂之時，那只狗順利地成為三個孩子的媽媽。方明和目睹狗媽媽用舌頭舔舔這只小狗崽又用前爪摟摟另一只小狗崽時，母狗的母性親情令他內(nèi)心受到震撼：動物也有母愛，也同樣有著保護下一代的意識，而人憑什么卑視與戕害它們的愛和生存的權利呢?……

平時方明和喜歡閱讀《中國環(huán)境報》等報刊，他從報上了解到當下生存環(huán)境被污染與破壞狀況日益嚴重，特別是當他讀到了“被剝了皮的藏羚羊在可可西里狂奔”的血淋淋的報道后，他的內(nèi)心流淚了。他開始結識馮剛、梁從誡、吳方笑薇等許多著名環(huán)保志愿人士，并與“地球之友”、“自然之友”等環(huán)保組織書信來往。顯然，少年方明和起先的理念是拯救家園，愛護生態(tài)與捍衛(wèi)動物生存權利。

初三那年暑假，他制作十幾塊環(huán)保題材的剪報，從家鄉(xiāng)蒼南趕到80公里外的溫州市區(qū)公園巡展，他開始把拯救動物作為自己的使命，他奉勸那些不法之徒不要販賣與殘殺野生動物。

有一次他看到一個偷獵者在出賣野生黃麂，便暗中跟蹤然后向110打電話舉報。當民警趕來時那個偷獵者趁機溜了。他怕民警說他謊報案情，便一路猛追，當他追丟了賣麂人，便向一位目擊老人打聽賣麂人的去向，不料老者的表情令他大所失望。他回憶說：“當時那老人的目光冰冷、漠視，讓我一輩子都記住他!”又有一次他在蒼南龍港鎮(zhèn)調(diào)查野生動物被偷獵狀況，正遇上三名男子開槍打鳥，他立即向槍聲方向沖去。“不要命啦，你不知道我在開槍打鳥嗎!”一名男子向他大吼。方明和不理會打鳥者的吼叫威脅，在砰砰驟響的槍聲里拍下了他們偷獵的照片，向當?shù)亓謽I(yè)部門提供這三名男子偷獵的確鑿證據(jù)。聯(lián)合國和平大使珍·古道爾博士了解到他的這些事跡，感動地說：“方明和，確實是個非常勇敢的孩子!”

每串腳印都溢滿綠色之情

方明和帶領“綠眼睛”成員開展一個個環(huán)保活動，每次行動都留下了他們的一串串扎實腳印，每串腳印都溢滿著他們純真的綠色之情。

走向大自然，了解大自然，愛護大自然，這是方明和的“綠眼睛”課外行動重點。這些年來，“綠眼睛”北上南下，尋訪和考察了蒼南的母親河源頭、福建的鳥島、廈門的紅樹林等等。他們像一支長征的隊伍，跋山涉水，過村掠鎮(zhèn)，沿途見人便宣傳環(huán)保知識，喚起人們的環(huán)保意識。

那是一個雨后陰天，方明和帶著“綠眼睛”成員沿著蒼南母親河橫陽支江前行。在橫陽支江江水滾滾中，飄浮著不少塑料袋以及稻草之類的臟物，江岸的楊樹、楓橡樹上，也掛著發(fā)大水時留下的漂流物，就像掛著“萬國旗”。方明和對“綠眼睛”們說：“我們喝的用的都是母親河的水，不能讓這些臟東西污染它!”同學方思菲應和道：“對!我們下水去撈。”一聲令下，“綠眼睛”們下水的下水，上樹的上樹，不一會兒，臟物就打撈起幾麻袋!有棵斜長在江面上的苦楝樹，樹上掛著許多洪水時留下的臟東西，膽小的同學不敢上樹，怕掉到江里，方明和卻像猿猴一樣上樹摘下所有的臟物。“綠眼睛”繼續(xù)在江岸行進，當他們走到一個開闊的江灘時，忽見一輛滿載建筑垃圾的卡車沖下沙灘，方明和一看就知道，那輛卡車想在江灘上傾倒建筑垃圾。于是他大步?jīng)_上前去：“司機同志!你不能將建筑垃圾倒在江灘，這樣就會污染江水!”方明和說完，同學們也七嘴八舌地宣傳起環(huán)保來。司機一看這陣勢，只好將卡車駛離江灘。

“綠眼睛”還一直將保護野生動物作為責無旁貸的硬任務來抓。他們經(jīng)常組織志愿者到街上開展巡查野生動物販賣，建立此類貿(mào)易的市場督察網(wǎng)絡，建立受傷動物救助站。“綠眼睛”的動物救助站一年救助貓頭鷹、黑翅鳶、豪豬等動物多達300多只!

2001年4月愛鳥周，“綠眼睛”成員在蒼南人民廣場用繩子和鐵桿拉起幾十米長的宣傳展板，向過往市民宣傳愛鳥，并進行愛鳥民意調(diào)查；一位母親看后感動地說：“我一定要把自己無所事事的孩子送到‘綠眼睛’來，讓她從小為愛惜動物、保護環(huán)境做些好事!”當“綠眼睛”了解到蒼南宜山鎮(zhèn)云巖街道有史以來還未配備過垃圾桶，小鎮(zhèn)的河道和沿街上到處丟滿垃圾，于是他們就買來一只大垃圾桶，組織30余名志愿者前往云巖清掃道路。“綠眼睛”這一舉動推動了該鎮(zhèn)的環(huán)保工作，共青團宜山鎮(zhèn)委書記當天聞訊趕來一起參加“綠眼睛”清掃活動，鎮(zhèn)政府也決定當即為云巖增置環(huán)保設施，聘用專職清潔工人，大大改善了該鎮(zhèn)環(huán)保局面。此外，“綠眼睛”還開展“環(huán)保車隊走四方”項目18次，行程1100公里，志愿服務2000多小時，將環(huán)保公益活動帶進7個縣市100多個鄉(xiāng)鎮(zhèn)；他們還啟動了中國第六輛環(huán)境教育車——海鷗車，將環(huán)境教育送入最偏遠的貧困山區(qū)。

“綠眼睛”的環(huán)保故事很多，可以說每個成員都有一串故事。

“陽光總在風雨后”

“綠眼睛”沒有專職老師指導，他們憑著對環(huán)保理念的自覺與志同道合，形成了一支投身于環(huán)保的隊伍。在這支隊伍中，有鄭元英、朱昌藏、黃小桃、曾韓鵬、王新劍、尤偉、周學程、董瀟瀟、張小輝、方思菲、陳秀峰、賴冰冰、洪輝化、李濤、盧孔朝等等骨干隊員，他們與方明和一樣，對人類居住環(huán)境有著原始的保護意識，對大自然野生動物有著特殊感情。就說“綠眼睛”龍港分團第二任團長方思菲吧，她是一位17歲的花季少女，她堅信有夢想就要將它付諸行動!她16歲那年“綠眼睛”龍港分團第一任團長因諸多原因辭職，300多志愿人員群龍無首，這時方思菲挺身而出，“臨危受命”，接任“綠眼睛”龍港分團團長的職務，并在團內(nèi)制定辦公室值班制度，堅持分團全體人員每周活動一次，同時進行義賣活動，解決活動經(jīng)費問題。方思菲說：“陽光總在風雨后，我們用堅韌鑄就了今日的輝煌。”一臉稚氣又略帶幾分靦腆的女生、“綠眼睛”靈溪分團大隊長張小輝，對于環(huán)保活動總是知難而進，恪盡職守，組織環(huán)保公益活動的能力相當出色，贏得全體成員的稱贊和肯定。張小輝說，她的最大心愿就是讓更多的青少年朋友都能自覺地加入到“綠眼睛”來，讓各自家園的每個角落都飄揚著“綠眼睛”的旗幟!

“綠眼睛”在環(huán)保公益事業(yè)的敢作敢為，引起了國內(nèi)外環(huán)保組織的注目。國際“福特環(huán)保獎”評委會評估員郭雨小姐千里迢迢來到蒼南，親眼看到這群青少年一心一意地堅持著他們的環(huán)保公益活動。她對圍在她身邊的“綠眼睛”成員說：“大家辛苦嗎?”在場的“綠眼睛”成員平時在環(huán)保活動中無論受到怎樣的嘲笑、打擊都沒有流淚，此時聽到從北京專程趕來的客人的問候，一個個都泣不成聲。方明和對北京客人說，“不管人們對‘綠眼睛’評價如何都沒有關系，您的光臨就是對我們最大的支持!”

“綠眼睛”青少年學生對中國環(huán)保公益事業(yè)的事跡，終于深深打動了“福特環(huán)保獎”評委們，他們成了摘取全球最大環(huán)保獎項最年輕的獲得者。

Young “Green Eyes”Watch Environment

By Gao Qi， Kai Xi

Five years ago， Fang Minghe initiated Green Eyes， an organization composed of middle school students all dedicated to environmental protection like him. Fang was fifteen and a middle school student in Cangnan， a county near Wenzhou， in southern Zhejiang Province. In his eyes， the color green is both the theme of environment and the essential touch of hope and poetry. Since then， the members of the Green Eyes have done everything possible to protect the environment around them. Their bravery and achievements have caught the attention of the State Administration of Environmental Protection and won international awards.

Fang Minghe has loved pets and enjoyed reading books and newspapers specialized in environmental protection since his childhood years. When Fang was 15， the dog he had kept was pregnant. He was wild with joy for the would-be mother while extremely worried about the upcoming delivery of little pups. He began to read up veterinary books available. Before he was able to learn more about a safe delivery for the dog， the dog gave birth to three puppies swimmingly. Seeing the mother licking the little ones fondly， Fang was more than touched.

On the other hand， what he read in newspapers and books opened his eyes to the human cruelty to animals and nature itself. He became acquainted with some well known environment protectionists and wrote letters to some eco-friendly organizations.

Fang decided to take action.

In the summer vacation after he had finished the third year of his junior high school， he made a dozen of exhibition boards with newspaper clippings about environment protection. He made a special trip of 80 kilometers from his home in Cangnan to Wenzhou and exhibited his boards in downtown parks. He focused on saving animals and asked people not to kill them.

One day Fang spotted a poacher hawking a deer in a market. He followed the poacher and dialed 110 to report the poacher to police. But the poacher slipped away when the police arrived on the scene. For fear that the police might call him a liar， Fang tried to chase the poacher， but in no avail. What was most disappointing about this experience was not the unsuccessful search for the poacher， but the indifference of an old man who had seen the poacher trying to sell the deer but refused to tell Fang where he had gone. Even today Fang cannot forget the old man's cold and unsympathetic look.

On another occasion， Fang was on a field trip investigating the poaching in Dragon Port Town in Cangnan when he saw three hunters shooting birds. Hearing the bullets cracking through the air， he immediately broke into running towards the hunters. One of the men barked at him: \"You wanna get killed? You don't know I am shooting birds\"Despite the angry threats of the hunters， Fang took pictures and presented the pictures to the forestry authorities as evidence.

To know more about nature to better protect it， Fang and his Green Eyes fellows have also embarked on many study trips over the five years. They trekked to the source of the branch river of Hengyang which flows across Cangnan. On the way， they picked up rubbish from the river and cleaned trees blanking the river. They stopped a truck from trying to dump a truckload of rubbish from a construction site onto a beach of the river.

Green Eyes activists regularly patrol streets and markets to stop vendors from selling wild animals. They also set up a wildlife emergency service. The station has taken care of more than 300 owls， kites， and hedgehogs last year alone.

In the Love Bird Week?in April 2001， Green Eyes displayed lots of exhibition boards at the People's Square in Cangnan， disseminating information on birds to local residents. They also surveyed visitors on their opinions on birds.

After learning that a street in a town in Cangnan had never had a trash bin and that residents there were in the habit of littering at random， Green Eyes chipped in some money and bought a large trash bin for the street. More than 30 Green Eyes volunteers one day appeared to clean the street and the stream that ran in parallel with the street. A town leader joined them in the cleaning. The town government later decided to pay full-time street sweepers to keep the street clean. The Green Eyes also organized 18 trips to promote environment protection in more than 100 towns and cities in seven counties across Wenzhou. The trips covered more than 1，100 kilometers and took them more than 2，000 hours.

A non-governmental group， Green Eyes is composed mainly of middle school students. They don't have a special teacher to coach them.Their greatest wish is to mobilize more youngsters to protect their residential environment and raise the Green Eyes flag over neighborhoods across their hometowns and villages.

Their activities and achievements have won admiration and applause. In 2001， Fang Minghe， on behalf of Green Eyes in Cangnan， received a Ford Conversation and Environmental Grant issued by director of the State Environment Protection Administration at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. For three consecutive years from 2002 to 2004， Green Eyes received Roots and Shoots prize issued by Doctor Jane Goodall. In 2003， Green Eyes received Earth Award， highest honor awarded by the government to an environmental protection organization in the country.
