“We are thrilled to partner with Mystic Aquarium, an organization right here in the community we serve that shares our vision for a more sustainable future,” says Tom Koltis, senior vice president of negative carbon and infrastructure development at Reworld. “Together, we’re creating opportunities to inspire environmental responsibility in young people and families across southeastern Connecticut.”
