Quest Diagnostics Director of Sustainability Karen Braun visited East Norriton Middle School for an interview with Healthy NewsWorks student reporters.
Quest Diagnostics可持续性总监凯伦·布劳恩(Karen Braun)与Healthy NewsWorks学生记者进行了采访,拜访了东诺里顿中学。
A Quest for Health Equity (Q4HE) grantee, Healthy NewsWorks has been empowering elementary and middle school students since 2003 to become researchers, writers, and confident communicators who advance health understanding and literacy through their factual publications and digital media. Its program teaches student health journalists how to ask questions, identify factual information, write accurately, think critically, and share what they've learned. Their work is published in health-focused newspapers, magazines, and digital media that are distributed in their schools and communities, and on a health-focused website for all to access.
Healthy NewsWorks是“提升健康公平性”的探寻之旅(Q4HE)的资助者。自2003年以来,它一直在赋权小学和中学生成为研究者、作者和自信的沟通者,通过他们的真实出版物和数字媒体推进健康理解和素养的提升。该计划教导学生健康记者如何提问、辨别事实信息、准确撰写、批判性思考,并分享他们所学到的知识。他们的作品发表在以健康为主题的报纸、杂志和数字媒体上,这些出版物分发在他们的学校和社区,在一个以健康为重点的网站上供所有人访问。
"I loved every minute I spent with these students," said Karen, who lives in the Philadelphia area. "They were excited for the interview, interested in understanding how they might be able to make a positive impact, and asked good questions because they care about a healthy planet and community."
“我喜欢我和这些学生在一起的每一分钟,”Karen说。她住在费城地区,“他们为采访感到兴奋,感兴趣了解他们可能如何产生积极影响,提出了好问题,因为他们关心健康的星球和社区。”
Karen explained Quest's dedicated approach to environmental sustainability and climate action, waste reduction, and water stewardship efforts. For example, Quest is committed to reducing single-use plastic waste and using specimen cups and stool containers containing less plastic, which reduced plastic waste by 105 standard tons in 2022 alone.
Karen解释了Quest致力于环境可持续性和气候行动、减少废弃物和水资源管理方面的努力。例如,Quest致力于减少一次性塑料垃圾,并使用含塑料更少的标本杯和粪便容器,仅在2022年就减少了105个标准吨的塑料垃圾。
Karen also talked about the continuous improvement needed in all sustainability programs and engagement with employees. Karen encouraged the students to take on their own classroom sustainability project.
Karen还谈到了所有可持续性计划和员工参与所需的不断改进。Karen鼓励学生们从事自己的课堂可持续性项目。
Based on the interview, the students decided to develop a "Look in Your Lunchbox" sustainability project to reduce waste from their school cafeteria. The students also want to analyze environmental impact based on packaging and whether certain foods could be composted.
基于采访,学生们决定开发一个“查看你的午餐盒”可持续性项目,以减少学校餐厅的浪费。学生们还想分析包装和某些食品是否可以堆肥的环境影响。
"Sustainability is a complicated topic, so each question gave me the opportunity to share more information around different sustainability areas-and in turn ask the students for their ideas," said Karen. "I hope the students take away that there are many ways to make a positive environmental impact, and small steps add up to big changes."
Karen说:“可持续性是一个复杂的话题,所以每个问题都给了我机会,在不同的可持续性领域分享更多的信息——反过来请学生提出他们的想法。” “我希望学生们明白,有许多方法可以产生积极的环境影响,小步骤可以积累成大的变化。”
