Lost on the Way to the Recycling Yard
by Olivia Wang
This is a story about a plastic bottle that was not thrown into the trash can after being used, so the plastic bottle wandering outside.
One day, there was a student called Andy. On the way to school, he passed a 7-11. He walks into the 7-11 and buys a drink. He wants to take it to school to drink later, so he doesn't need to spend points to buy it in school. Andy walked into the classroom before late. Now, Andy was sweating profusely. He directly opened the cold drink and drank it all and threw the finished bottle in the corner of the classroom.
The bottle “Harry”, which was just thrown into the corner by Andy, was turning over with difficulty. He turned his head and saw a window by the corner. The weather outside the window is like his mood. The sun outside the window gradually disappeared, the clouds slowly gathered. Finally, the rain falls down, and the relentless rain drops on Harry’s face. The rain soaked Harry’s whole body. Harry was choked by the water, and a bitter cold feeling followed. At this moment, Harry felt unprecedented despair….
When Harry was gradually numb by the cold rain, he remembered the factory where he was born. In the factory, he has his family and friends. Today’s morning they were still excitedly transported to the store, and waited with expectation after being used by people. They hope they completed their mission and returned to the recycling yard to meet with family and friends again. Unfortunately, now Harry seems unable to be with his family and friends anymore.
Harry doesn't know how many days and nights, rainy and sunny, have passed. Finally, a student saw Harry and put him on the table. Inadvertently Harry saw the student’s name tag, his name is “Jack”. Harry finally left the corner, he felt the breeze gently blowing on his face. Harry looked at the world outside the window. This time he not only saw the clouds and the sky. This time he also saw many kinds of people on the streets. They all held different bottles in their hands, which gave Harry's desperate heart a glimmer of hope again. Maybe he might see his family again? But Jack quickly destroys this little hope of Harry. Jack picked up Harry. The next second, Jack threw Harry into the sky. The world in front of Harry suddenly turned around, making him feel dizzy. But Jack didn’t want to stop, he called more and more people come to play bottle flip. When Harry didn't know how many times he was thrown into the sky, people finally stopped playing, and then threw Harry out the window again.
In the end, I want to tell everyone that plastic bottles are difficult to decompose. They will stay in the environment for a long time. Therefore, we should put plastic bottles in the trash can correctly to avoid other plastic bottles encountering the same tragedy as Harry.
迷失在往回收場的路上

這是一個塑膠瓶被使用完後沒有被正確扔進垃圾桶,所以在外流浪的故事。
一天,有一位學生名叫安迪,在去學校的路上,他經過了一家便利商店,他走進便利商店買了一杯飲料,想著等一下可以帶到學校喝,這樣他就不需要花點數在學校買了。安迪在遲到前一秒走進了教室,這時的安迪滿頭大汗,他直接打開了手上冰涼飲料的飲料一飲而盡,並隨手將喝完的寶特瓶扔到了教室的角落裡。
而剛剛被安迪隨手一扔到角落裡的寶特瓶“哈利”,正艱難地翻過身,他好不容易轉過頭,看見了在角落旁的一扇窗,而此時窗外的天氣就像是他的心情一樣。窗外的陽光漸漸消失,烏雲慢慢聚攏,終於!雨水傾盆大雨般的落下,無情的雨滴落在了哈利的臉上,雨水浸濕了哈利全身,哈利被水嗆得喘不過氣來,冰冷刺骨的感覺也隨之而來,此刻,哈利感受到了前所未有的絕望…。
在哈利被冰冷的雨水凍得漸漸麻木時,他的腦中想起來了那個他誕生的工廠,在工廠裡有許多和他一樣的寶特瓶們,其中有他的兄弟姊妹、爸爸媽媽和朋友,今天一早他們還一起興奮地被運送到商店,並滿懷期待的等著被人們使用後,完成使命並回到回收場與家人朋友們相聚,只可惜,現在哈利似乎沒辦法再與他的家人朋友們相聚了。
不知道經過了多少個日日夜夜,雨天晴天,「終於!」一位學生看到了哈利並將他放到桌子上,在不經意中哈利看到了這位學生的名牌,上面寫著“杰克”。終於離開角落的哈利久違的感受到了微風輕輕吹拂著他的臉,哈利看向窗外的世界,這次他看到的不只有雲和天空,他看到了校園外的街道上,形形色色的人們,他們手裡都拿著不同的寶特瓶,這讓哈利已經絕望的心,重新有了一絲絲希望,或許他還有可能再見到他的家人?但很快杰克便重新澆熄了哈利的這一點點希望。杰克將哈利拿了起來,下一秒,他把哈利扔向了天空,哈利眼前的世界突然間天旋地轉,讓他感到頭暈不已,但杰克並沒有打算停下,並且叫來越來越多的同學來玩翻瓶子,當哈利已經不知道這是他第幾次被扔向天空時,人們終於不玩了,隨後他們便又將哈利扔出了窗外。
哈利掉在地上,從這裡,他能夠看到了整座學校,也能聽見校園內外來自各處的傳來聲音,周圍嘻嘻哈哈的笑聲,與哈利的世界形成了極大的對比…。過了很長一段時間,哈利依舊躺在這片空曠的草地上,但不一樣的是,哈利面前的學校早已不復存在,在他面前的只剩一片荒蕪的廢墟。
所以最後我想告訴大家,寶特瓶是很難分解的,它們會長時間留在我們所生活的環境當中,所以我們應該把寶特瓶正確地丟進垃圾桶裡,以免讓其他寶特瓶遭遇和哈利一樣的悲劇。
