Green Beverly is a non-profit that is focused on providing sustainable education, coaching and matchmaking to the residents of Beverly. Green Beverly provides this through a digital presence, a physical presence at the Cummings Center and via popup displays at various local events (i.e. Farmer’s Market). Green Beverly's Mission is to make it easy and simple for community members to make smart consumer choices that will lead to healthier, more sustainable homes and businesses. By making these options more accessible and understandable, GB supports the green local economy and promotes a resilient and more equitable environment. Green Beverly is responsible for the city-wide sustainability events (ex. EarthFest and Pumpkin Smash), supports a Farmer's Market to provide equitable access to fresh/healthy/local food, a program to help restaurants compost and reduce takeout waste, and many more community sustainability projects.
