Green Organizations

Dream in Green’s mission is to empower individuals to respond to climate change and other environmental challenges.

We assist diverse organizations, including schools, households, local governments and businesses, to reduce their environmental footprint. Through establishing partnerships, we develop, implement and oversee educational programs and workshops that promote environmentally sustainable behaviors among all age groups, with an emphasis on K-12 students.

Urban Oasis Project is a local food promoter and information source operating in Miami-Dade since 2008. We believe that good, clean, healthy food should be accessible to all.

We're present at farmers markets, plant gardens with low-income families, and support many local farms by bringing their produce to markets.

We also run potluck meals focusing on local food, "farmer-direct" dinners, arts events and more.

WalkBoston is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving walking conditions in cities and towns across Massachusetts, to encourage better health, a cleaner environment and vibrant communities.

Founded in 1990, our goal is to make walking and pedestrian needs a basic part of the transportation discussion.

The Green Streets Initiative is a Cambridge, MA based organization, founded in 2006. We are dedicated to celebrating and promoting the use of sustainable and active transportation in the Boston region and beyond.

Our mission is to get people to rethink their commutes through our monthly Walk/Ride Days. For most people, commuting is a thoughtless action, just a repetitive extension to their morning routine. Walk/Ride Days were started to combat this gap by encouraging people to become more aware of their transportation options and to increase the dialogue about the alternatives.

We meet monthly at the Eastern Bank community room in Harvard Square, usually on the first Thursday of every month at 6:30pm. These meetings are open to the public and we invite you to attend and share your environmental concerns with us as well as your energy and enthusiasm for addressing them.

Better Future Project works to build powerful grassroots movements to address the climate crisis and advance a rapid and responsible transition beyond fossil fuels. We educate the public about climate change, empower new leaders, and help citizens to make their voices heard.

Our volunteers are among the strongest voices demanding swift action on climate change in Massachusetts.

In the years since our founding, we've engaged in countless campaigns for climate and clean energy:

In what is considered the first agreement of its kind, MIT, Harvard and the City of Cambridge developed a compact to work collaboratively to address issues related to sustainability and climate change on a local basis.

The “Cambridge Compact for a Sustainable Future” lays out a framework for signatories to work in a more coordinated and robust fashion to tackle local sustainability challenges.

The opportunity exists for Boston to pivot from its fossil-fueled past to clean energy; this means moving our building designs into the 21st century through a relentless focus on efficiency and cost-effective switches from gas and other fossil fuels to clean, electricity-based heating/cooling.

The Boston Clean Energy Coalition (BCEC) brings together organizations and allies in the shared commitment to accelerate this shift.
