It's Plastic Free July!

Plastic Free July is a global movement to bring awareness and help millions of people be part of the solution to plastic pollution.
Throughout the month our team will be sharing some simple things we do to reduce our plastic use!

Today, our programs coordinator, Aimee Adams Frugoli, shows us how she prefers reusable water bottles over single use plastic. Be like Aimee and get yourself a cool water bottle this summer and say good-bye to single use plastic water bottles!

Sustainability Tip - Compost: Food scraps and yard

Sustainability Tip - Compost: Food scraps and yard waste make up about 30 percent of what we throw in the trash. Time to start collecting kitchen waste in your own DIY bin, and to turn that into nutrient-rich soil for a home garden. Don’t have a garden? @downtoearthcomposting offers bike powered food waste collection for Reno residents!

Today, as we continue our Partner Spotlight series

Today, as we continue our Partner Spotlight series, we spoke with Thomas Kirsch. Thomas is the process control engineer at Howmet Aerospace. In his job he supervises a number of teams in their forge, heat treat, shipping and production departments.

While Thomas is still working at their facility, many of his salaried staff are working remotely, which presents some challenges when working to solve time critical issues. During this time he is grateful for the good people that he works with and the community that is working to manage this hard situation. He is also becoming more sustainable by driving less and is enjoying his time doing more yoga! "I think Envirolution and other non-profits of like character and purpose do so much for the community and the future. We must plan and act for results we wish to see decades from now. How we teach and prepare our youth will determine the success of us all." Thank you for the kind words Thomas and for sharing your experience during this time with us! Envirolutuion is very excited at the new opportunities our partnership will open up.

Tomorrow is Project ReCharge's Year End Event. Th

Tomorrow is Project ReCharge's Year End Event. This year we worked with 17 schools from 4 different counties and we are excited to see what energy saving STEM projects our students have come up with.
