How is the energy sector preparing for this and what is the fastest, lowest cost and cleanest way to add gigawatts of energy to our grid?

We’ll cover the market conditions, policies that impact renewables development, and the unique innovations that address the community engagement and siting challenges.

ecochallenge - Join our Team!

This is a wonderful, educational, accessible and dynamic opportunity for people of all ages and walks of life. Here are some examples of actions:

Pick up one piece of trash each day in April…
Borrow from the “Library of Things” – avoid buying more stuff…
Explore something new in the area – foster connection to what is unique about Medfield…
Watch a movie together on an earth-related theme of your choosing…
Ditch fast fashion – swap with neighbors and shop second hand…
Ride your bike or walk – nix short drives and get fresh air…
Skip plastic – BYO bags/coffee mugs/water bottles to refill when out and about…

These are just starting points and if you are looking for actions with more heft they are there too! Perhaps save a rainforest, clean up an ocean, or reverse global warming. Once signed up, choose from an array of earth-minded options, ranging in effort and output. Select the actions that feel manageable, meaningful, and motivating.
We look forward to welcoming you to the SM team. Please contact Kate Blood at sustainablemedfield@gmail.com if you have questions.
