OUR SUSTAINABILITY COORDINATORS SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS “Being involved in the sustainability efforts at TRC allows me to help identify opportunities to lessen our environmental footprint and become a better neighbor both personally and with the company.” Brian Pattee, GIS Drafter “My role as Sustainability Analyst allows me the opportunity to engage with colleagues across the organization as well as to apply my skills and passion to achieve TRC’s sustainability objectives.” Nicole Ratliff, Sustainability Analyst “The Sustainability Coordinator Network has provided a unique platform to collaborate and exchange ideas with multiple offices. Whether the goal is to reduce electricity usage or develop more comprehensive waste management strategies, participation in these efforts has added great value to my work, and I’ve been motivated to make more impactful changes both in the office and at home.” Emmelyn Leung, Project Associate “We only have one Planet Earth, and we need to do everything we can to be able to sustain our home for future generations. Education and action are all of our responsibilities before it is too late.” Jamie Jastrab, Geologist “Having always considered myself environmentally conscious, it’s great to be able to focus on sustainability here at TRC. Here in the Monroeville office we try to recycle, re-use and repurpose materials as much as possible to cut down on waste.” Rob Dornenburg, Air Measurements Technician “Involvement with the TRC sustainability coordinator network has provided me with the opportunity to spread sustainability goals within my office and assist in developing a culture of sustainability awareness within TRC.” Spencer Sellner, Engineer “My personal sustainability goals include reducing waste where possible in my everyday life and encouraging those around me to reduce waste as well. Working in the Sustainability Coordinator Network gives me the opportunity to make an impact on sustainability on a larger scale.” Alyssa Noyes, Permitting Specialist “It’s exciting to see how TRC’s sustainability program has grown over the past few years. I really enjoy being part of the Sustainability Coordinator Network and supporting our efforts to push things forward. One of the most important things we can do through the SCN is make sustainability accessible and approachable for our colleagues, clients and other stakeholders.” EJ Baumgarten, Senior Scientist “I feel that through TRC’s sustainability coordinator network, engagement has increased and awareness has been raised throughout the company on the importance of sustainability and how it fits into TRC’s vision. I look forward to being part continuing this momentum in the coming years!” Mary Caplon, Environmental Engineer 39
