Get Inspired With Sustainable Medfield

Do you belong to an association, community group, business or other organizations in Medfield looking to collaborate or be inspired on how to adopt more sustainable practices within your group? Are you a resident who is looking for ways in which you can take action to improve the environment? Read on to hear all about Sustainable Medfield and the resources available to the community at SustainableMedfield.org.

Sustainable Medfield does two things:

• Connects community groups to network and collaborate on sustainability
• Provides residents a one-stop resource of Medfield-specific ACTIONS to improve our environment and reduce our carbon footprint

The ACTIONS Portal launching on the website SustainableMedfield.org is a wonderful resource for individuals and families! The content for the portal is created by local groups and is Medfield-specific. The site contains a wealth of information that will help you, your family, and/or your community group green your carbon footprint and improve your own environmental impact.

In addition to the awesome, user-friendly ACTIONS Portal, Sustainable Medfield connects community groups to network and collaborate on sustainability. A few people gathered for the first time in January 2020. Founder and Co-Chair, Megan Sullivan shared, “There was great energy in the room that day! So many ideas were shared and enthusiasm generated that we knew we were on to something valuable”. Since then, word of mouth has brought groups to the quarterly meetings. With a clear purpose and resources in place, Sustainable Medfield is now launching publicly and inviting all community groups to attend meetings. The community groups meet quarterly and the next meeting is Tuesday, September 14, 2021, at 2 p.m. at the library. All are welcome.

Since its founding, Sustainable Medfield has become an initiative of the Medfield Foundation and has grown to more than 16 community groups including church/temple groups, scout groups, environmentally focused groups, MEMO, Cultural Alliance of Medfield, Medfield TV, the Medfield Public Library, New ‘N Towne, and the Garden Club. Imagine the possibilities when all these groups interact, collaborate, and contribute to the Medfield-specific actions that residents will have access to on the website! Each group contributes in their own individual way, large and small, with the common goal of making Medfield more sustainable! We look forward to welcoming more Medfield organizations as word spreads about our mission.

Working together we can reach our Town goal of Net Zero by 2050! Check out the ACTIONS Portal at SustainableMedfield.org and create a profile to get started! Attend our next meeting or send a representative of your organization on September 14th at 2pm in the library. Stop by the Sustainable Medfield booth (#25) near the food court at Medfield Day to see for yourself how it all works. We are excited to connect the community to work towards a more Sustainable Medfield.
