WHAT ARE “GREEN ACTIONS”?

“Green Actions” are how we can all shrink our environmental footprint, the more sustainable ways that we can live our daily lives - the steps we can take to lessen our impact on climate change.

Green Actions vary in cost, ease of implementation, and degree of impact on greenhouse gas emissions or sustainable systems. Even “small” actions have a big impact when enough people do them. That’s why Green Beverly is focused on community: we have power together.

OUR RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
