Thank You Charles River District Medical Society

Last week, some of Sustainable Wellesley's Leadership Team members, including Dr. Regina LaRocque, Phyllis Theermann, Mary Gard, Quentin Prideaux and Trish Glass thanked The Charles River District Medical Society for a recent grant donation.   

“Thank you Dr. Leonard Finn and the Charles River District Medical Society for providing this generous grant to Sustainable Wellesley,” said Phyllis Theermann, President, Sustainable Wellesley. “We are honored to have been chosen among many deserving nonprofits in the 5 town catchment area where the Charles River Medical Society donates.  The $3000 will go to furthering our work and amplifying our voices to lower our communities’ carbon footprint through education and inspiration for residents of all ages. The funds will support our operational costs enabling us to work on these health and other related topics: 

• A Sustainable Building Practices Initiative (reducing building impacts on human health);
• Clean energy and electrification programs (gas = respiratory issues);
• A mental health webinar for area youth on Climate Anxiety and Eco despair; 
• A webinar on the  Economics of Climate Change;
• Supporting the Town's Climate Action Plan; and 
• Environmental justice programs
     

Many thanks to the committee for choosing Sustainable Wellesley and to Linda Howard for all of her efforts as well,” Theermann said.
