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.
