Qi Haoran, a Junion9 student was quite busy over the past winter holiday, and not just with homework.Qi, together with 10 other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign(“光盘行动).
The 11 students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food.“Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still haven’t got enough to eat.Please don’t waste food.” They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.
