Ryan Lo, a seventh grader at The Saklan School, was recently featured in Plastic Free Living Magazine. It was Ryan's podcast, "A Change is a Chance," that interested the magazine's editor.
In his podcast, Ryan aims to help young listeners understand some of the environmental challenges we face today. The magazine specifically highlighted the episode on Ryan's podcast about Plastic Free July, in which he interviews Ms. Rebecca Prince-Ruiz, the founder of the Plastic Free July Foun-dation, to better understand what it's like to be plastic free and how everyone can take small steps to reduce plastic usage.
When asked about Ryan's podcast, Saklan's Head of School David O'Connell noted, "What I like about the podcast is that it emphasizes what real-world learning is. Ryan describes how discovering one thing led to a more profound interest in other topics and a thirst to know more. That curiosity led him to develop deep probing questions that he could not answer without the help of outside experts."
Ryan has attended The Saklan School since kindergarten. He has fully embraced the school's mission to challenge students to think creatively, act compassionately and live courageously. Ryan's podcast and his message of making small changes to help the environment has inspired his classmates and teachers to join him in his journey to think creatively and act compassionately in regards to the environment and ways to reduce plastic use.
To learn more about small changes you can make to help the environment, check out Ryan's podcast, "A Change is a Chance," online at https://anchor.fm/Ryan-lo.
