By the time Jennings only child was 17, he stopped joining his father. Even though his son is grown up now, Jennings hasnt slowed down his efforts. In fact, he has turned his recycling money into something bigger. Jennings visits local churches and businesses to collect paper, which he brings to a recycling center for money. But instead of putting those earnings in his own bank account, he sends every dollar to Georgia Baptist Childrens Homes Family Ministries. Once a year, hell give the organization a check somewhere between $10,000 and $35,000. By 2016, that tallied up to $400,000. These days, Jennings recycling has turned into a community effort. After he has made his own rounds recycling paper from businesses and churches, hell find more items waiting for him at home. Community members drop off other recyclables at his house so he can sell them, along with books, food, clothes, and other items to give away. Recycling centers typically pay just one－half to three cents per pound of paper, but Jennings visits have added up big time. In 2016 alone, he sold more than 400,000 pounds of paper and 51,000 aluminum cans (铝罐), and collected more than 32,000 pennies. Over the course of 32 years he has recycled more than 9.8 million pounds of paper, saving all estimated 79,000 trees in the process. Jennings says hell continue raising money for charity as long as his health allows. 【语篇解读】　86岁的Johnny Jennings从32年前开始把废纸等废品卖到回收站，但是他赚的每一分钱都捐给了慈善组织。 词汇小得　①slow down减缓；②drop off放下；睡着； ③over the course of在……期间；④in the process在该过程中 1．How old was Johnny Jennings when he started recycling?
