Activism

Greenovate Boston is the City's community-wide initiative to engage all Bostonians in helping the City meet its climate and sustainability goals, while continuing to make Boston a thriving, healthy, and innovative city.

By laying out the necessary steps to reduce the causes of and to prepare for climate change, Boston's Climate Action Plan gives Greenovate Boston a framework for building a greener, healthier, and more prosperous city.

The Environmental Voter Project (EVP) works to get inactive environmentalists to vote.

Polls show that tens of millions of Americans strongly prioritize progressive environmental policies – but, in large numbers, these people do not express this priority at the ballot box.

We use state-of-the-art social-network incentives, big-data analytics, predictive modeling, and voter-mobilization tools to find inactive environmentalists and inspire them to vote - regularly and consistently.

During the spring and summer months, The Boston Harbor Association’s Emerging Professionals Committee organizes several volunteer cleanup days along the Boston HarborWalk from Winthrop to Dorchester. Please join in!

In addition, it's easy and very satisfying to organize your own cleanup event with your friends, school, work or religious community! Feel free to contact us to get ideas on where to go and who to contact. We are also happy to help promote your HarborWalk event to help you get more volunteers there.

Slow Food's Chicago chapter offers a community garden, over 20 events a year, and provides workshops on local, sustainable food traditions. We strive to create a world in which all people can eat food that's good for them, good for the people who grow it and good for the planet.

Gather your coworkers, employees, and colleagues and join​ the Kendall Square Association and the Boston Marriott Cambridge every May for the Annual Kendall CleanUp!

It’s a great opportunity to clean the neighborhood, give back to the community, and network with fellow KSA members. After each registered company cleans its designated section of Kendall Square we come together for food, drinks, music, and raffle prizes at Champions Sports Bar.
