Several celebrities have made an environmental variety show.
Go to Hoh Xil to pick up garbage and dry cow dung.
There was also a quarrel over "whether to take the tissue away after pooping in the wild".
Just looking at these descriptions, someone must say: show.
Under the banner of public welfare, it is not uncommon to attract attention and earn traffic.
But if Yi Meijun tells you that the actors who do this show are: Hu Ge, Liu Tao, and Chen Long, do you think this matter has become more reliable?
Not many people know about this show, and there are few hot search topics.
But they felt:
Even if only one person sees it, it makes sense.

What's the point of filming the real environment?
Let's start with a set of descriptions:
In the summer of 2022, the number of days with high temperatures exceeding 40 degrees accounted for one-third of the 150-year history;
One of the largest wildfires in California's history, which burned an entire mountain overnight;
Pakistan was hit by epic floods last year, with one-third of the country flooded at its peak;
After the water level dropped due to the persistent heat and drought, a large rock at the bottom of the Elbe River in the Czech Republic was exposed, which read: If you see me, then cry.
Extreme weather and extreme disasters have been no strangers to us over the years.
Return.
Pu Bingmei, secretary general of the Blue Ribbon Marine Conservancy, said they had rescued a green sea turtle in Sanya, Hainan.
But 3 kilograms of plastic waste were dissected from its stomach.
Documentary director Peng Hui tells the story of a small antelope and a female antelope.
The female antelope has been brutally killed by humans, but the baby antelope still wants to suck the milk of the female antelope.
These pictures, any one of them released, are shocking.
But if we don't see it with our own eyes, if we don't pay attention to it, if we don't understand it, we can't feel it.
Without consciousness, there is no action, without action, there is no change, without change, where does hope come from?
As a philanthropic environmentalist, Hu Ge knows too well that philanthropy is never an individualism.
At that meeting in 2013, Hu Ge's sloppy beard and unkempt face appeared in the northwest.
At an altitude of several thousand meters, he picked up garbage on foot, ate a big pot of rice, and slept in a cramped double room. Tanned, and his hair had not been taken care of for a long time.
It was also this year that the public welfare project "Green River" invited him to serve as a volunteer for the Yangtze River Source Environmental Protection Public Welfare Tour.
In order to do a good job as a volunteer, Hu Ge will take advantage of the holidays to go to the northwest every year to carry out public welfare activities.
Even if fans see that he has not been in business for a long time, they urge him to "film more and make money quickly". He was unmoved.
It is the experience of the past ten years that has brought him into contact with many philanthropic people. He began to know that doing public welfare is not only about donating money, but also about investing a lot of time and energy.
It also got him thinking:
Why are there so many nonprofits and why are they doing these things?
If we want to get involved, how?
Even if we don't go, what can we do about what we can do around us?
This show is to answer these questions, so that more people can-
Understand philanthropists, enter philanthropists, and become philanthropists.
With the power of one person, the power of more people is driven.

▼ Only within your ability can you be motivated
What really touched Yimeijun about this show was precisely the words "within my ability".
In the eyes of many people, environmental protection is a big word.
Where can ordinary people get it.
Until I saw Hu Ge and Liu Tao, there was an argument about "toilet paper".
When they picked up garbage on both sides of the Hoh Xil Highway, they found a large amount of discarded paper towels.
Among them, only bamboo pulp paper and wood pulp paper can be degraded, wet paper towels, dry paper towels, these can not be naturally decomposed, not only harmful to the environment, but also may be eaten by wild animals.
In response to this phenomenon, several people began to think: how to make it more environmentally friendly?
Hu Ge thinks that he can't hold back and can go to the toilet in the wild, but he has to take the toilet paper away after convenience.
After listening to this, Liu Tao immediately refuted.
She felt she couldn't do it.
Not everyone can do it.
For example, many truck drivers, they eat and live in the car, and it will be very inconvenient to bring used toilet paper to the car.
She said:
"When we start advocating (public welfare and environmental protection) now, I want to start from the basics, not to tell me, how you have to be, how you should be, there is no necessity in this world, there is no should, because you are not me. I want to start little by little and not make me do too much at once. ”
This statement, Yimeijun agreed with it incomparably.
In the past, Yimeijun has also shared many stories of environmentalists.
Truth be told, exactly do it, and it doesn't work for everyone.
Therefore, everyone will feel that there is a threshold for environmental protection.
"There's no way I'm going to skip takeout completely. ”
"I'm not Xi to using menstrual cups. ”
"I can't do it without buying clothes at all. ”
Can't do it, so don't do it.
Therefore, "All the Way Forward" takes everyone to look at environmental protection from a different perspective.
Even though they were recording environmental programs, it was impossible for them to completely streamline the collection of household waste.
We talked so much about the disadvantages of plastic waste, but when we visited the supermarket, we couldn't help but sigh: life is so convenient now.
Abandon the strict standards of black and white, and the acceptance of many things will naturally increase.
As the show's narrator says:
"We revisited the city we were in, but we didn't want to look at everything with a critical attitude. 」
Only when we put the words "public welfare and environmental protection" at a normal level, and do not stand on the moral high ground to kidnap anyone, "everyone participates" will not be an empty word.

▼ Everyone is an insider
However, it must also be admitted that as far as the current perception is concerned, there is still a long way to go for public welfare and environmental protection to become a national behavior.
When Yimeijun watched the first issue of "All the Way Forward", he was shocked by the barrage.
A lot of people are saying:
"Environmental protection is something that rich people have to think about, and I'm a poor person, so it's my business. ”
"What does this have to do with me, I don't have the time to care about this. ”
"I can't afford to live, and I still have time for public welfare?"
......
Reviews like this, and many more.
There are many people who hang high and have nothing to do with themselves.
In this regard, Yimeijun does not want to condemn anything, after all, people's attitudes and behaviors are mostly determined by cognition.
Too many people don't know,
Scientists have found microplastic particles in human blood.
Microplastics refer to plastic fragments less than 5 mm in diameter, and they are widely found in a variety of products in daily life, including shampoos, shower gels, toothpaste, skin care products, etc.
A 22:17 ratio of quantifiable particles was detected in the blood of volunteers, with an average of 1.6 micrograms of plastic per milliliter of blood.
Microplastics have even been found in the placenta of newborns delivered by pregnant women.
Microplastics are inert substances, and if they are found in the bloodstream, it means that they will circulate to organs throughout the body, and we do not know what harm they will eventually cause to the human body.
So, plastic waste everywhere, wildlife being harmed, ecological environment being destroyed, and so on, really have nothing to do with us?
We all know not.
It's just that the whip hasn't hit me yet, so I don't feel pain.
is like the sentence in "The Wandering Earth":
At first no one cared about the catastrophe, it was just a wildfire, a drought, the extinction of a species, the disappearance of a city, until it was related to everyone.
There is such a discussion clip in "All the Way Forward":
When herdsman Donggayun Pagoda was asked if he would feel distressed if his cattle were eaten by snow leopards, he admitted that he would not.
Because snow leopards are a link in the natural ecological chain, their presence plays an important role in maintaining ecological balance.
This kind of open-mindedness and advanced awareness of public welfare and environmental protection have moved many people.
Everything in this world is interlocking.
Destruction will only be more severe, and protection and change will bring new life and hope.
Nowadays, we see Hoh Xili, which is magnificent and vast. Thousands of Tibetan antelopes roost freely.
Thirty years ago, it was a different story.
Criminals of poaching and poaching are extremely rampant, and the corpses of Tibetan antelopes are everywhere.
Until a group of people invest a lot of time, energy and even their lives to protect the ecological environment of Hoh Xil:
Chopei Tashi has been here for 28 years.
His uncle, Sonam Dajie, died in a fight with the thieves.
His father, Dzhaba Dorje, was killed by a bullet in his home.
Generations of people have stuck here, patrolling every day, rain or shine, and Hoh Xil has regained its former tranquility and magnificence.
If everyone thinks it's none of their business with me, what would it be like here?
At last.
I still want to say, don't take the good as small and do nothing, and don't take the evil as small.
Protecting Hoh Xil is beyond the reach of us ordinary people.
But go out with eco-friendly chopsticks, shopping bags and drinking glasses to reduce single-use plastic items.
Buy less fast fashion in large quantities and opt for more durable clothes.
Try to choose low-carbon travel as much as possible.
These small decisions can affect the direction of a life in a distant place.
In the pilot film, Mr. Wang Pinxian, an 87-year-old academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told everyone about the wonderful marine world.
talked about why he was so old and still came out to do popular science. He said:
"It's the wild goose stepping on the slush. I just want to take a footprint, and this footprint is the footprint of social progress. ”
If everyone can take even a small step, all the efforts will be meaningful.
