Spending time outdoors enjoying nature is one of the best eco-friendly holiday activities. It’s also a great reminder of how beautiful the earth is and how much we have to lose if we don’t take action to protect it. There’s no shortage of hiking trails in New England, whether you’re looking for a leisurely nature stroll or a challenging climb. Check out our favorite hikes and trails in Massachusetts for some inspiration!
Want to use less plastic and eat more organic vegetables? Start by growing your own food in a summer vegetable garden. Tons of fruits and vegetables can be grown in New England during the summer, from tomatoes and cucumbers to watermelon and squash. If you really want to dive in, dig a plot in your backyard, or start small with a few potted containers. This activity will keep you busy all summer, and you’ll have something to look forward to when it comes time to harvest your crop.
Summer and baseball are a match made in heaven! And now, catching a game is good for the planet! Fenway Park has adopted several green technologies, including solar thermal panels and LED lighting to help keep the park sustainable. MGM Music Hall at Fenway has also gone green with a rooftop solar panel system installed by Boston Solar. The Red Sox and Fenway Park are doing their part for the environment and we are proud to be a Proud Partner of the Boston Red Sox.
Keeping our local parks clean is a great way to be sustainable in the summer while enjoying time outdoors. There are often park cleanups happening at various local parks and lakes. Check out Keep America Beautiful to find a cleanup in your area. If you can’t find one, organize your own!
Electricity production is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. You can do your part to reduce fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by installing residential solar panels and battery storage at your home.
