The Green Neighbors Education Committee, Inc.

Our Mission

           Our campaign is about educating Boston residents about energy efficiency, energy self-sufficiency, environmentalism and conservation. We are bringing this message to our urban community, because we believe that climate change and the skyrocketing costs of energy make it obvious and URGENT that they become empowered to take action! We ask them to become Green Neighbors!

            We reach the general public via our Energy Fairs inside their neighborhoods At our annual Spring Plantings where folks learn how to grow food at home in their yard, on their porch or inside their house; At our monthly Green Entrepreneur Small Business Network seminars. Also at forums with speakers such as Van Jones of Green For All and Jim Hunt, former Chief of Environmental and Energy Services for the City of Boston as well as our Green Jobs Roundtable with trainers and employers. We follow these outreach events with Low Carbon Living home energy conservation workshops. Finally, we inform them of opportunities to lobby for funds to green our neighborhoods and help residents lower their carbon output. This would include grants/low-cost loans for weatherization, insulation, high E windows, wind power devices, solar PV, thermal hot water heaters and more… Our work gets folks to voluntarily change their lifestyles, bringing a longer lasting GREEN change to their lives and communities.

            We have also expanded our outreach into the international arena by starting a Sustainable Development project for Liberia.
