A Little History

Sustainable Wellesley is a group of volunteers (NOT part of the Town government), founded in 2008 by Scott, under the name of “The Power of One”.  Over the years we have grown significantly, changed our name to Sustainable Wellesley, and created dozens of events and campaigns including; Festivals, movie nights, lectures, workshops, panel discussions, campaigns, outreach, and we even took 100 locals to New York to stand for climate action. Sustainable Wellesley is the parent group for Wellesley Green Schools, and very proud to be part of the fabric of this community.
