Climate Justice Organizations in Massachusetts
The Seasons, co-presented with the Boston Lyric Opera, is a re-imagining of Vivaldi’s best known work that is set in the near future where seasons are out of order. Since climate change is a theme of The Seasons, we are highlighting several of the many climate-focused organizations in Boston and Massachusetts.
GrowBoston: A city initiative, GrowBoston aims to support local food production in Boston. GrowBoston contains resources for those interested in food production including education through an ambassador program. There is also a directory for community gardens, which cost a small annual fee to participate in, and urban farms. Sustainable farming and local food production, especially in urban areas, are important in combatting climate change.
Environmental League of Massachusetts: The ELM’s goal is to create a net-zero state through advocacy and partnerships. Among ELM’s priorities are modernizing public transportation and protecting natural resources. The organization also works to get climate justice legislation passed in Massachusetts.
Extinction Rebellion Boston: Boston’s local chapter of this global group, Extinction Rebellion provides free, online education as well as simple actionable events everyone can take to create tangible change in climate care. These events also include art-making initiatives, tying into The Season’s theme of art as a catalyst for climate change.

Microgrids have several other advantages, including making energy affordable, supplying power during climate-related outages and uses solar panels and batteries to avoid fossil fuels.
