Quest Diagnostics Director of Sustainability Karen Braun visited East Norriton Middle School for an interview with Healthy NewsWorks student reporters.
Quest Diagnostics可持續性總監凱倫·布勞恩（Karen Braun）與Healthy NewsWorks學生記者進行了採訪，拜訪了東諾里頓中學。
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”的探尋之旅（Q4HE）的資助者。自2003年以來，它一直在賦權小學和中學生成爲研究者、作者和自信的溝通者，通過他們的真實出版物和數字媒體推進健康理解和素養的提升。該計劃教導學生健康記者如何提問、辨別事實信息、準確撰寫、批判性思考，並分享他們所學到的知識。他們的作品發表在以健康爲主題的報紙、雜誌和數字媒體上，這些出版物分發在他們的學校和社區，在一個以健康爲重點的網站上供所有人訪問。
"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."
“我喜歡我和這些學生在一起的每一分鐘，”Karen說。她住在費城地區，“他們爲採訪感到興奮，感興趣了解他們可能如何產生積極影響，提出了好問題，因爲他們關心健康的星球和社區。”
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解釋了Quest致力於環境可持續性和氣候行動、減少廢棄物和水資源管理方面的努力。例如，Quest致力於減少一次性塑料垃圾，並使用含塑料更少的標本杯和糞便容器，僅在2022年就減少了105個標準噸的塑料垃圾。
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還談到了所有可持續性計劃和員工參與所需的不斷改進。Karen鼓勵學生們從事自己的課堂可持續性項目。
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.
基於採訪，學生們決定開發一個“查看你的午餐盒”可持續性項目，以減少學校餐廳的浪費。學生們還想分析包裝和某些食品是否可以堆肥的環境影響。
"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說：“可持續性是一個複雜的話題，所以每個問題都給了我機會，在不同的可持續性領域分享更多的信息——反過來請學生提出他們的想法。” “我希望學生們明白，有許多方法可以產生積極的環境影響，小步驟可以積累成大的變化。”
Karen's full interview will be featured in the fall edition of For Kids, By Kids magazine, written by the Healthy NewsWorks student reporters.
