TUCKER, GA — October 17th, 2025 Ecolink Inc, a sustainable chemical solutions company and proud 1% for the Planet member, has partnered with The Watersmith Guild, a Pittsburgh-based environmental nonprofit dedicated to improving lives and waterways through arts, education, and adventure. The partnership highlights a shared goal, making sustainability more approachable, collaborative, and community-driven.

With support and guidance from the Ecolink team, The Watersmith Guild recently became an official 1% for the Planet environmental partner. The two organizations now plan to continue backing each other’s environmental projects and awareness efforts, to continue making impact where it matters the most.

“Choosing to help the Watersmith Guild open a new path for extra impact was a no-brainer,” says Hannah Frisch, Digital Marketing Manager & Partnership Coordinator at Ecolink, Inc., “When Brandon first approached me about the inclusion of The Watersmith Guild as a 1% for the planet environmental partner, there was no question that they wouldn’t be immediately accepted and I was happy to assist them in this process!”

“We’re incredibly grateful for EcoLink’s support in helping The Watersmith Guild become an environmental partner with 1% for the Planet,” said Ian Smith, Executive Director, The Watersmith Guild, “It’s an honor to align with such a prestigious and impactful organization whose values resonate so closely with our own. This partnership will help us engage more youth and underserved communities and improve the waterways they depend on. Not only has Ecolink made this milestone possible, they’ve also joined us on the water, offering hands-on support in our efforts to change lives through arts and adventure.”

This partnership builds on Ecolink’s Caring Chemicals initiative and ongoing efforts to reduce its own footprint while helping others do the same. For both organizations, it’s about collaboration, transparency, and real-world impact.

About The Watersmith Guild: 

The Watersmith Guild was founded to unite art, science, and adventure as powerful tools for environmental education and community empowerment. What began in 2014 with the launch of First Waves, a youth mentorship and conservation program that combines river surfing, standup paddleboarding, the art of filmmaking, and watershed stewardship, has grown into a dedicated nonprofit that connects people, especially youth from underserved communities to their local waterways through creativity, collaboration, and exploration.
