Boston Climate Action Network

Want to learn more about climate change, energy conservation, green jobs, and clean technology? If you live, work, or play in Boston, we hope you’ll check out Boston Climate Action Network.

Join us in planning educational events and other ways to build a political movement to do something about global warming. Here’s one example of our recent events.

In December 2007, national green jobs leader Van Jones and City of Boston Department of Environment and Energy chief Jim Hunt spoke in Dorchester during an energy fair organized by BostonCAN and ACORN. The video below is an excerpt from Van Jones’ remarks that day.

In addition to our organizing for green collar jobs that provide pathways out of poverty, we also sponsor movie nights, speakers, public rallies, and energy conservation workshops in various Boston neighborhoods.

Check out our “Save Energy” page for more information about Low Carbon Living and Global Warming Cafes. By saving energy at home, at work, and in how you travel, you can save money and cut down your own contribution to global warming. Low Carbon Living is a win-win-win! And check out our “Take Action” page for our current political and educational campaigns. Our “Links” page will hook you up with videos from some of our activities and with related groups in Massachusetts and nationally.

BostonCAN is part of the Massachusetts Climate Action Network, an umbrella organization linking town and city groups throughout the state.
