"Sustainable Medfield" Invites Community to Join the Ecochallenge

April is Earth Month - "Sustainable Medfield" team looks to harness individual efforts into meaningful community-wide impact. .

In celebration of Earth Month in April, Sustainable Medfield is inviting you to participate in the online, worldwide ecochallenge. Please consider participating with your family as one of our Sustainable Medfield team members. 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. To join the "Sustainable Medfield" team click this link - or - scan the QR code.

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.
