Chapter 613: Chapter 610
Lu Xiao heard these words and couldn’t help but frown slightly.
Having calculated the time, an Eastern beauty was indeed due to appear.
David, however, watched the Eastern beauty approaching their way and immediately raised an eyebrow.
As Lu Xiao’s gaze shifted, within a second, a slender arm wrapped around his arm, and Wen Xian, with a bright smile, gracefully greeted them:
“Hello, my name is Wen Xian, a representative of the Animal Protection Association.”
David and Ailin were somewhat stunned, especially David, who glanced at her and then at Lu Xiao, and finally couldn’t help but laugh in surprise.
“This, this Eastern beauty…”
Lu Xiao nodded slightly, “Yes, she is my wife.”
Upon hearing this, David exclaimed in surprise, repeatedly patting his arm, laughing and saying they indeed made a stunning couple, perfectly matched.
Ailin, too, was a woman with an open nature, and at this moment, she did not skimp on her praises for Wen Xian.
Wen Xian returned the compliments.
She seemed not to take Ailin’s previous fondness for Lu Xiao seriously at all, as she could tell that Ailin’s thoughts about Lu Xiao, after her arrival, were limited to mere admiration.
The two women chatted for a while and quickly warmed up to each other.
The group then had a buffet breakfast together at the hostel; Ailin told her that she and David had actually arrived here a few days earlier.
They were conducting geographical surveys and choosing maritime routes for sailing, and so on.
Currently, when Wen Xian inquired about the local marine animal ecological protection status, Ailin shook her head, holding a piece of toast in her hand, evenly spreading butter on it with a butter knife while speaking earnestly:
“The situation is not optimistic. Actually, for marine animals, the biggest threat is not human hunting, but the garbage produced by humans, especially plastics. These are synthetic polymers made by humans, with stable structures, so they are hard to degrade biologically in nature, especially in seawater, where they have a lifespan of over five hundred years, posing a severe threat to marine life.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Xian’s face became noticeably grave.
She pursed her lips tightly, feeling an indescribable sensation inside, as she was quite aware of the dangers of plastics, but persuading humanity to stop using plastics could be an exceedingly lengthy process.
If people switched to paper or canvas bags when going out, it could improve the situation somewhat, though the effort of one person might seem trivial. Yet when one, two, or millions, even billions of people adopt this consciousness, it could hugely improve the ecological impact on humanity.
Now, their efforts were not limited to just rescuing these marine animals but also saving humanity itself.
When marine animals contaminated with plastics end up on human dining tables, minuscule amounts of plastic elements remain in the human body, unable to be eliminated.
David also furrowed his brows at this issue, seriously saying:
“Our efforts are always minuscule, so this time’s rescue operation has recruited some renowned figures from various countries to participate.
We’ve filmed this operation as a documentary to be shown in different countries, hoping it will influence more people to recognize the importance of ecological protection.”
Indeed, when she became a star with a large fanbase, she should carry an even greater sense of social responsibility, whether it’s—
