In the face of global warming, extreme weather, and the danger of energy depletion, Delta established the "Delta Loves the Earth—Energy Education Volunteer Service Project." The project was recently awarded the "2021 Outstanding Volunteer Project of New Era Services in Pudong New District, Shanghai," which is yet another recognition after Heng Lin of Delta Green-Tech China (DGC) Public Affairs Office and also the project leader was awarded the Outstanding Volunteer Service Organizer of Pudong New District for 2019-2020 in June. In response to the "30-60 Decarbonization Goal," Delta held a low-carbon transportation training workshop in Shanghai for over 30 employee volunteers from Shanghai and Wujiang. The course was led by four experienced volunteer instructors from Dongguan and Shanghai, who shared their hands-on experience with motors, coils, and other teaching aids, to "charge up" the participants' interest in learning and passing on energy knowledge to others in the future.
The new materials used in the project focus on the field of transportation, which has great potential for carbon reduction. Students were instructed to observe magnets and the scientific phenomena of magnetism and magnetoelectricity, which can be used to design low-carbon transportation methods such as maglev trains and electric vehicles.
Mr. Eason Chen, Director of DGC Public Affairs Office said that since the launch of the "Delta Loves the Earth—Energy Education Volunteer Service Project" in 2013, a total of 398 staff volunteers have participated and serviced 19 schools. So far, 26,500 students have benefited from the project. We hope to inspire more children to become interested in science, energy conservation, and carbon reduction through the energy knowledge that Delta volunteers share with the public.
