Greenroots Inc

See schedule ofood justice: greenroots' addresses food justice, health disparities and environmental injustice through our food justice and urban agriculture initiatives. Greenroots manages six urban growing spaces (chelsea community garden, mace community garden, marlborough st. Garden, suffolk street garden, anita's place and the urban farm) to address food insecurity issues in chelsea. Our urban growing spaces not only provide fresh food, but also engage and empower food-insecure residents. This year, we constructed a teaching kitchen to connect to the urban growing spaces through an urban "farm to table" concept where we will be promoting greater nutrition, health, wellness and social connectivity. We will complement these growing spaces with a container freight farm in summer 2024.

See schedule ohealth equity & mobility: greenroots work focuses on climate related health impacts including poor air quality and increase respiratory incidents. Our campaigns include advancing indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring and working to share data broadly and accessibly. Greenroots also continues to prioritize transit justice as a key aspect of our work to achieve environmental justice. Over the course of the last year, we have organized riders to advocate for a low-income fare; to fight the elimination and/or reduction of bus service in chelsea; and for better access to the senior pass as well as other campaigns. We have continued to administer the youth pass for chelsea.
