Crossroads International

1．How does Crossroads work?

Crossroads is a resource network．We take goods Hong Kong doesn’t want and give them to people who badly need them．We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare arena （福利院） in Hong Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa．  71 

2．Who do we help?

  72 They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it．They can’t get the job done without back-up, though, so our task is to help them do their task．Our warehouse is full of goods, from computers to high chairs, clothing to books, stationery to medical provision, cupboards to dining sets．They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with the resource we have in stock．

3．  73 

Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget．We do not buy the goods we send．They are donated．  74  Nobody in our organization receives a salary．Even our full-time staff work on a voluntary basis．

Those that donate goods and services:

●Factories             ●Manufacturers

●Hospitals             ●Hotels

●Educational Institutions      ●Householders

●Transport Companies   ●Offices

●Other Charities

  75 While we receive large quantities of goods and there is never a short supply of requests for them, we are always in need of hands to help sort and prepare them for shipping．

E．How do we operate?

F．All volunteer work is done at our warehouse．

G．Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight （货运）, we ask transport companies to donate their services．

The wife-carrying World Championship has been celebrated in a small town in central Finland since 1992.

Most of us don’t like to think too much about rubbish.    71   . However, household waste is a major contributor to our planet’s waste problem. Like it or not, it needs to be managed if we are to have a brighter green future.

     When it comes to being responsible for our own rubbish, the best way to approach it is by following the three golden rules of waste management, or the ‘3 Rs’—Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

“The order is important.    72   ,” says Eugene Tay, Director of Green Future Solutions in Singapore. “Recycling still affects the environment and should be done last after reduce and reuse.”

    But, when our efforts to reduce and reuse still result in an overflowing rubbish bin, the advantages of recycling cannot be ignored. “   73   ,” says Amy Ho, Managing Director of World Wide Fund For Nature in Singapore. “The damage to our environment could then be slowed down as a result.”

    In fact, by recycling just one plastic bottle, you are saving not just the material to make a new one, but you also stop it from getting thrown into a landfill (垃圾掩埋场) for up to 700 years—and that’s before it even starts to rot.    74   .

    Recycling is so important that we really have no excuse not to do the simplest of household tasks that will make a difference.

    “   75   ,” says Ho. “Starting with recycling grey water for gardening purposes, to recycling materials such as glass, paper and iron—it all reduces the use of raw materials.”

A. We put it in the bin and don’t think too far beyond that

B. The collective action of individuals can make a significant effect

C. It’s important for every household to make good use of grey water

D. Waste reduction and reuse is usually the best way to decrease waste

E. The three rules of waste management should be followed by every household

F. Recycling reduces the use of raw materials and so protects our natural resources

G. Recycling just 10% plastic bottles would keep 90 million kilograms of plastic out of landfills
