Seekonk Family Environmental Coalition
Our Purpose
The Seekonk Family Environmental Coalition , situated in Seekonk, MA, serves the Providence Metropolitin area and aims to bring people together around the topic of Sustainability, with a focus on supporting whole family efforts. This group was created as a way to support an array of community sustainability efforts, to continue to grow community environmental knowledge, to connect with our local and peripheral community on important environmental topics, for community knowledge sharing, and, most importantly, to build an educational platform for kids to develop sustainable practices and values in their own life along with a deep understanding and respect for the importance of this work and their attention to it. Two concrete goals for the inagural year (2022) are: 1) to catalyze the path to residential composting in the area and 2) create community programming with a focus on youth engagement and education. We are working with Black Earth Compost, once again, and hoping this work can facilitate a route in Seekonk by the end of the year. Under the family-led umbrella, we are also hoping to begin monthly meetings and work toward a Community Sustainability Fair (Spring 2023) and a Youth Sustainability and Entrepreneurship Fair (Fall, 2022/Spring 2023).
