Founded in 2006, Green Needham Collaborative is a volunteer organization dedicated to securing a better future through local action. We engage in concrete projects to create a more sustainable and economically healthy community — one which is committed to reducing carbon emissions and using resources wisely. As we build on our successes, we promote the development of new social norms which will drive this transformation to a sustainable community.
We are committed to working collaboratively — providing support, making connections, and bringing together Needham residents, businesses, community groups, municipal government, schools, colleges, and houses of worship.
