The One Earth Award provides four students whose creative works encourage the awareness of, and meaningful responses to, pressing issues of human-caused climate change with $1,000 scholarships. The 2019 Scholastic Awards was the inaugural year for this award, and we were blown away by the number and quality of the works. Today’s students have a lot to say about our planet!

The 2019 One Earth Awardees are:

Kaylee Chen, Fiona Luo, Minda Silvestre, and Aysha Zackria

Read Kaylee Chen’s poem “Pan” and Aysha Zackria’s dramatic script Hell and High Water.
