Sustainable Marblehead
About
Sustainable Marblehead is an environmental community organization working to educate and engage the town on reducing waste and pollution. Its vision is a vibrant, engaged community actively addressing the climate crisis so that Marblehead and the wider planet stay habitable and safe for future generations. The group connects residents with practical tools and information, from home energy guidance to community events, and invites people to share which topics and volunteer roles interest them most.
One of its main services is an Energy Coach program, which pairs residents with coaches who help them plan steps such as scheduling a home energy audit, weatherizing homes and buildings, installing efficient electric heat pumps, driving electric vehicles and using solar. The organization also runs community programs, including book discussions held with the Abbot Public Library, such as a session on Bill McKibben’s solar energy book Here Comes the Sun. Sponsors help support its work.
