MOVING TOWARDS A GREENER COMMUNITY

Striving for Sustainability is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to empowering our community in Rowley, Massachusetts to adopt sustainable lifestyle practices that protect and preserve the environment for our current and future generations.

We strive to reduce pressure on our environment and natural resources through conversation, conservation, and education.

We will move towards a greener community by providing informational resources, offering educational workshops, and working with schools, businesses, and town leaders to take advantage of grant opportunities at the local and state level. We encourage participation, curiosity, and conversation from all voices and perspectives as we green our community together.

SUSTAINABLE HOME

Every day we make choices in our lives that affect our environment. From our morning cup of coffee to brushing our teeth before bed, there are decisions we can make to reduce our environmental footprint. These individual actions matter, especially when entire communities and populations get on board. 

Many sustainable lifestyle decisions are a simple break from your old routine. Place bar soap in your bathroom instead of single-use plastic pump soap dispensers. Buy dissolvable laundry sheets packaged in a cardboard box instead of liquid detergent in a single-use large plastic tub. Avoid fast fashion in favor of thrift shopping.

Other changes can take time and financial investment, such as solar panels or heat pumps, but can reduce energy costs in the long run and significantly reduce your household environmental footprint.

Explore below to see what steps you can take to green your home. Be sure to share other ideas you have and make Striving for Sustainability a true community resource and opportunity for conversation!
