I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13. My parents took us there for 16 . On the way out, I asked them to wait 17 I ran up to E1 Capitan, a huge rock of 3,300 feet straight up. I touched that giant rock and knew I wanted to climb it. That has been my life’s love ever since — 18 the rocks and mountains of Yosemite.

20 and treated such a beautiful home-like place this way.
I tried picking up rubbish myself, but the job was too 21 . I would spend an hour or two on the job, but sadly found the area in a mess all over again weeks later. Finally, I got so tired of it that I decided to change something.
As a rock-climbing guide, I knew 22 about organizing any other big event. But in 2014, together with some climbers, I set a 23 for a cleanup. On that day, more than 300 people showed up. Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of rubbish. It was amazing how much we could complete. I couldn’t believe the 24
we made — the park looked clean!
I often hear people complain about their environment. If you are one of them, I would say the only way to change things is by 25 instead of complaining. We need to teach by example.
