     If,for some reason,you had 2,010 empty plastic bottles,what would you do?You'd probably sell
them cheaply,right?But Xia Yu collected 2,010 bottles and built a boat with them.As you read this,Xia
is,in fact,on a river somewhere in Anhui,slowly going towards his destination:the Expo Garden in
Shanghai.2,010 plastic bottles were to celebrate the Expo 2010 Shanghai.On the opening day of the
Expo,Xia,together with five friends,went on a 1,500 km journey from Xiangtan to the Expo Garden,in
spite of the doubt whether they'll make it.After all,the boat they are on can hardly be called a boat.It cost only 2,000 yuan to build in a month.
     What's keeping Xia going is a major cause behind the trip."We are examining water pollution through
our journey and trying to promote a lowcarbon lifestyle.Before we started,no one believed we could sail
the boat to the Dongting Lake.But we made it." But as they expected,the journey has not always been
smooth.Of the six from Xiangtan,four gave up.As of press time (截至发稿时),only Xia and his friend
Huang Ying were on the boat.Huang suffered from a disease when they reached Jiujiang,Jiangxi Province.Xia said,"There are so many things that can stop us from making it to Shanghai,like the weather,health,
and sometimes swift river water."
     "The boat was produced in a factory according to our design,and perhaps it's not in a very good
condition.But," Xia  said,"we are wearing life jackets." "Some boats passing by offered help." What is
more of a reward for Xia and Huang is that the Yangtze River turned out much cleaner than they had
expected.Although Xia and Huang are uncertain about the journey ahead,they are "quite happy" with
what they have already achieved."After all,it's not the destination that counts.It's always the course that
matters the most."
