About EcoLearn Connecticut
Peter Swierczynski, a Wilton High School graduate in the class of 2026, founded a 501(c)(3) environmental education nonprofit, EcoLearn CT, to address the gap in sustainable living awareness across local Connecticut communities. Being deeply passionate about his home state, Peter created a professionally designed Connecticut-themed sustainability board game as a means to introduce environmental concepts in a fun way for all ages. By distributing copies of the board game to schools, libraries, senior living centers, and families in communities, Peter hopes to bring forth environmental education and sustainability to anyone who plays his game to become more engaged in helping Connecticut have a more sustainable future.

“Providing lasting educational tools on sustainability is my mission.”
Peter has many hobbies in his day-to-day life. Competing in sports is his favorite activity, along with cooking home-cooked meals while always trying something new, and he is also a self-spoken environmental advocate on his blog, petersearthnotebook.com. Outside of athletics and environmental work, Peter also really enjoys spending time outdoors with his family, especially hiking and exploring the natural spaces around Connecticut and national parks during the summer. He believes that real connection to the environment begins with simply appreciating it, and this belief inspires his efforts to continue working on EcoLearn CT beyond high school.
Mr. Sobolewski studied Environmental Science in college and now teaches AP Chemistry. Like Mrs. Salta, he emphasizes practical ways individuals can contribute and adopt a more sustainable lifestyle.
