Next episode, we’ll have our last Career Callout segment of the season.
This time, we’ll be chatting with a welder!
But, we need your help coming up with interview questions.
So tell us: What would you ask a welder about their job?
Students can use our inbox form online or send us an email to newsdepth@ideastream.org to send in their questions!
Dozens of environmental groups have rallied at Hawaii's State Capitol trying to protect the state’s biodiversity.
They are asking Hawaii lawmakers to pass an environmental stewardship fee. If passed, visitors would pay the fee by staying in hotels. The proposed tax is meant to help protect the state's natural resources.
For our poll this week, we want to know what you think: Is a tourist tax to preserve natural resources a good idea?
Students can choose between: Yes, because our natural resources should be protected. Or No, because that is unfair to tourists.
