精选优质文档-倾情为你奉上Changing the worldMost 7-year-old kids just do their homework and play with their friends. But Jose Adolfo Quisocola from Peru, now 13 years old, managed to set up his own “eco-bank” when he was just 7.Quisocola saved up his pocket money to create the Bartselana Student Bank in 2012. If students want to open an account with the bank, they have to provide a “deposit (存款)” of 5 kilograms of solid (固体的) waste, such as paper or plastic. And they must continue to deposit at least 1 kg of waste each month, as well as attend finance and recycling workshops (工作坊).The waste is sold to local recycling companies, which in turn pay the bank for the waste. The banks members then have this money deposited into their accounts, allowing them to save up money by recycling.“At the beginning, my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not run this type of project,” Quisocola said to DOGOnews. “Luckily, I had the support of the school headmaster and an assistant in my classroom.”Quisocolas project has since expanded. By 2013, the bank had over 200 members. Later, it got support from local people and set up its own education centers. Over 3,000 clients (客户) between the ages of 10 and 18 are learning about finance (金融) there. The bank is now accepting applications (申请) from children all over Peru. Quisocola has received many awards (奖) for his efforts, including the Childrens Climate Prize, which is awarded by a Swedish energy company.“Together we can change the world we just need a chance,” Quisocola said.Choose the answer:1.
