青海玉樹發起校園垃圾換文具活動 助力生態保護
Two waste bottles for a pencil, 500 grams of unrecyclable waste for a notebook, and 15 kilograms of waste paper for a soccer ball or basketball－the equations are cemented in the mind of Nyima Dbangmo and all other Students at the Second Middle School of Zadoi county, in Yushu Tibetan autonomous prefecture of Qinghai province.
在青海玉樹藏族自治州雜多縣第二中學，Nyima Dbangmo和所有其它同學牢記着如下等式：兩個廢瓶子等於一隻鉛筆，500克不可回收垃圾等於一個筆記本，15千克廢紙等於一個足球或者籃球。After every weekend, Nyima Dbangmo holds a plastic bag of trash, such as used water bottles, as she returns to school from home.
每週一，當Nyima Dbangmo從家中返回學校時，都會提着一個裝滿垃圾的塑料袋，裏面裝着水瓶這樣的東西。The garbage collected by the 14-year-old basically paid for her stationery items last semester, from pencils to notebooks, she says.
14歲的她表示，這些收集起來的垃圾主要用於支付上學期的文具費用，文具小到鉛筆，大到筆記本。
"It is habitual for us to pick up the garbage from the ground."
“我們都習慣從地上撿垃圾了。”
Since last March, a program called "Garbage for Stationery" has improved the campus environment and enhanced students' awareness of the environment in six middle schools in Zadoi county along with ecology and environment protection classes.
自去年三月起，雜多縣六所中學一項名爲“變廢爲文具”的項目和相應的生態環境保護課，改善了校園環境，提高了學生的環保意識。According to Nyigya, head of the county's education department, poverty alleviation through education requires not only knowledge, but also cultivating a sense of responsibility among future generations to protect the fragile environment the local people rely on.
據縣教育部門領導Nyigya表示，通過教育扶貧，不僅僅需要知識，還需要培養下一代的責任感，以保護當地居民賴以爲生的脆弱環境。Zadoi county, whose economy depends on raising livestock, has an area of 30,000 square kilometers and an average altitude of 4,200 meters. It has a total population of 66,000, with more than 10,000 students registered in primary and middle schools.
雜多縣的經濟依賴於飼養牲畜，該縣佔地面積爲30000平方公里，平均海拔高度爲4200米。總人口爲66000人，中小學在校註冊生超過10000名。Students have embraced the program since it started, according to Karma Chonyi, a teacher who is in charge of the program from the Second Middle School.
據負責第二中學該項目的老師Karma Chonyi表示，自從這一項目一啓動，學生就積極相應。Every noon, Karma Chonyi shows up at a special office for the program to count the students' gains and reward them accordingly.
每天中午，Karma Chonyi會出現在一個專爲該項目設立的特別辦公室裏，清點學生的“戰利品”，按照規定獎勵他們。
