EnergyBar Kickoff, Boston-specific Slack/WhatsApp climate tech virtual communities & more
Hi all! This is the Boston Climate Tech newsletter. This newsletter is a digest of community-submitted in-person climate tech events in the Greater Boston area coming up in the next week or so.
This week is a bit of a light week, so consider joining the following virtual geo-specific (i.e. focused on Boston) + climate tech discussion groups on Slack/WhatsApp. Personally, I’ve met many collaborators and friends through these discussion groups!
Boston Climate Crew WhatsApp group ( ~10 messages a week)
WorkOnClimate.org’s slack workspace, #meet-boston channel (~a few messages a month)
MCJ Collective’s (f.k.a MyClimateJourney) slack workspace, #g-boston and #g-new-england channels (~a few messages a week)
As always, for the full calendar, checkout https://bit.ly/boston-climatetech-events

Join us for a film screening of the new Patagonia film Scale of Hope and a conversation with former White House climate advisor Molly Kawahata afterwards. The film follows Kawahata as she prepares for an expedition in the Alaska Range while working to create a new climate narrative that centers her favorite question—What can I do to help?—with a surprising answer.
Dinner will be provided.
