Tree Planting Boosts Environmental Restoration and Preservation Efforts Across North America

種樹活動促進了北美環境恢復和保護工作

BANNOCKBURN, Ill., Aug. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Stericycle, Inc. (Nasdaq: SRCL), a leading provider of regulated medical waste management and secure information destruction solutions, is partnering with the Arbor Day Foundation for a third consecutive year to plant approximately 45,000 additional trees across the United States and Canada. In celebration of Stericycle's 35-year anniversary, 307 additional trees are being offered through the Arbor Day Foundation's Canopy Project to honor 307 Stericycle employees with more than 25 years of service. This program is designed to give individuals the opportunity to plant trees on their own properties to take an active role in the growth and development of urban forestry in local communities.

伊利諾伊州班諾克本,2024年8月26日/美通社/ -- Stericycle, Inc. (納斯達克:SRCL)是一家領先的受監管醫療廢物管理和安全信息銷燬解決方案提供商,已連續第三年與植樹節基金會合作,在美國和加拿大額外種植約45,000棵樹。爲慶祝Stericycle成立35週年,通過植樹節基金會的樹冠項目,額外提供了307棵樹,以表彰超過25年服務的307名Stericycle員工。該項目旨在讓個人有機會在自己的土地上種樹,積極參與當地社區城市林業的生長與發展。

"For 35 years, Stericycle has been dedicated to supporting the communities it serves by creating a more sustainable future," commented Cindy J. Miller, president and chief executive officer at Stericycle. "Trees play a critical role in creating healthier, safer and more vibrant environments. Our collaboration with the Arbor Day Foundation enables us to further our commitment to protect what matters."

Stericycle總裁兼首席執行官辛迪·J·米勒評論道:「35年來,Stericycle一直致力於通過創造更可持續的未來來支持所服務的社區。樹木在創造更健康、更安全、更有活力的環境方面發揮着關鍵作用。我們與植樹節基金會的合作使我們能夠進一步履行保護重要事物的承諾。」

In 2024, Stericycle will support planting efforts across multiple locations in North America. In Michigan, efforts will help restore forest ecosystems on a large scale by replanting stands of native jack pines and red pines in state and national forests. Efforts in Kentucky and West Virginia will focus on helping the landscape heal after years of coal mining. A mix of tree planting efforts will improve water quality, provide an enriched habitat for specific bat species, and return land to its natural state. In Indiana, efforts will go toward repairing wetlands around the Patoka River. This includes 20 acres of former agricultural lands with a plan to return the river back to native riparian forest cover. In Delaware County near Warren, Ohio, a newly established forest will serve as a source of adventure and refuge for residents. Stericycle is also supporting planting efforts around Goethe State Forest near Apopka, Florida, by planting conifers to aid in erosion prevention by reinforcing the soil and to provide a habitat for a variety of wildlife species. Lastly, in Canada, Stericycle will support planting efforts to add native jack pine and black spruce trees back to the landscape in the boreal forest located in Manitoba surrounding Devil's Lake.

在2024年,Stericycle將支持北美多地的種植活動。在密歇根州,該公司的努力將有助於通過重植州立和國家森林中的傑克松樹和紅松樹林來恢復森林生態系統。肯塔基和西弗吉尼亞的努力將專注於幫助煤炭開採多年後的景觀癒合。一系列的樹木種植工作將改善水質,爲特定蝙蝠物種提供豐富的棲息地,並將土地恢復到其自然狀態。在印第安納州,努力將用於修復帕託卡河周圍的溼地。這包括20英畝的前農業土地,計劃將河流恢復爲原生河岸森林覆蓋。在俄亥俄州禾倫附近的特拉華縣,一片新建立的森林將爲居民提供冒險和庇護之地。Stericycle還將支持佛羅里達州阿波卡附近的哥士哥拉州立森林周圍的種植工作,通過種植針葉樹來幫助防止水土流失,併爲各種野生動物提供棲息地。最後,在加拿大,Stericycle將支持加拿大曼尼託巴周圍魔鬼湖的北部森林地區的樹木種植工作,種植本地傑克松樹和黑雲杉樹。

"For the past three years, Stericycle has helped support a variety of strategic reforestation projects," said Katie Loos, president of the Arbor Day Foundation. "Not only is it critical to plant the right trees at the right time, but it's also imperative for us to plant them in the ecosystems that need them most. This is why we are so appreciative to partner with an organization like Stericycle, which is dedicated to improving and restoring the diverse forests that so many depend on."

「在過去三年中,消毒循環已經幫助支持各種戰略性的植樹項目,」 Arbor Day Foundation 的總裁凱蒂·盧斯表示。「不僅關鍵在於在正確的時間種植正確的樹木,而且對於我們來說,在最需要它們的生態系統中種植它們也至關重要。這就是爲什麼我們非常感激與消毒循環這樣一家致力於改善和恢復許多人所依賴的多樣化森林的組織合作。」

During the three-year partnership, Stericycle has committed to planting over 165,000 trees, actively sequestering CO2, preserving water sources, and filtering out air pollutants. Estimates from the Arbor Day Foundation show that Stericycle's restoration efforts in 2023 specifically, will result in the following positive impacts to the environment over the next 40 years:

在這三年的合作中,消毒循環承諾種植超過165,000棵樹木,積極地封存二氧化碳,保護水源並過濾空氣污染物。 根據 Arbor Day Foundation 的估算,消毒循環在2023年的恢復工作,將在未來40年對環境產生以下積極影響:

  • Sequestering 18,451 metric tons of CO2 (equivalent to 4,011 fewer cars on the road for one year)*
  • Avoiding 1,594,541 gallons of water runoff (equivalent to enough water for 19,445 people for one day)*
  • Removing 81 tons of air pollutants (equivalent to enough oxygen for 180,000 people for one day)*
  • 封存18,451公噸二氧化碳(相當於減少4,011輛汽車在路上行駛一年)*
  • 避免1,594,541加侖的徑流水(相當於足夠19,445人一天的用水量)*
  • 清除81噸空氣污染物(相當於足夠180,000人一天的氧氣)*

*Estimates calculated using iTree, peer-reviewed software suite from the USDA Forest Service that provides urban and rural forestry analysis and benefits assessment tools.

* 使用來自美國農業部森林服務的經過同行評審的 iTree 軟件套件進行估算,該軟件提供城市和鄉村林業分析和效益評估工具。
