When it comes to protect our environment, recycling is the least we all can do. Well, a seven-year-old boy, Ryan Hickman from California has shown us that it’s never too early to start recycling.
The young boy became interested in recycling after his dad took him to a local recycling center when he was three years old.
That experience made a deep impression on him. After that, Ryan decided to start his own recycling business. Later on, Ryan’s recycling company was born.
Ryan collects and sorts bottles and boxes from his neighbors. He and his parents give empty bags to their neighbors so that their neighbors can reduce their cycles(循环). Finally little Ryan takes the things that can’t be used now to the recycling center.
Since starting his own recycling business, his company has recycled more than 200,000 bottles and boxes. He has also tried to save $11,000 for college. In early 2019, Ryan’s recycling story went viral and he was even invited to be a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
“Ryan is very crazy about recycling, and he would like to get everybody else be interested in it as well,” said his mother. If you are inspired by Ryan Hickman’s little business, start recycling now.
