SUMMARY:Clean Energy Home Tour -- Focus: SOLAR SHINGLES!
DESCRIPTION:People know about rooftop solar panels and the great long-term savings on electricity bills. But what about SOLAR SHINGLES? Is this the new way to save? Join the Energize Acton March Clean Energy Home Tour and see a house that has been a model for many clean energy innovations\, now including solar shingles! Acton Clean Energy Coach David Martin is delighted to show you this new update to his home and explain how it compares with traditional solar. This house is also unique because it has both a standard mini-split heat pump and a larger heat pump to hot water system. Feel the comfort level for yourself and talk with David Martin about his experience moving the home from fossil fuel heating and cooling to cleaner energy systems. David has experience with a wide variety of clean energy technologies. \nTour home in South Acton – \nThe technologies you will see in this home include: \n\nSolar Shingles\nHydronics whole-house heat pump\nMini-split heat pump\nHeat pump dryer\nHeat pump water heater\nInduction range\nEV and Electric car chargers\nBattery-electric hard tools (lawn mower\, snow blower\, chain saw\, etc.)\n\nThere will be two 1-hour sessions to see the house at 11am and 1pm. \nAfter registration you will receive an email with the house address and specific information about parking\, etc. Coffee and snacks will be provided. Also\, there will be handouts about state incentives as well as background material about the technologies you will see..

SUMMARY:The Trees Are Speaking: Dispatches from the Salmon Forest - Recording
DESCRIPTION:This work focuses on the critical role of forests everywhere\, but especially on both coasts of the U.S.\, and on the role of indigenous voices in advocating for ecosystem integrity. \nDo you look at your own yard and see stressed trees? Spruces dying back? Fir trees struggling? The heart-wrenching loss of beautiful beeches to beech leaf disease? What is the connection between our local trees and the health of our forests? Increasingly\, we recognize the importance of forests for key ecological functions\, such as clean air\, clean water\, important pollinator/wildlife populations\, carbon storage\, and a balanced climate. So how are our forests doing? And how can we advocate for trees\, near and far? \nLynda V. Mapes\, award-winning environmental journalist for the Seattle Times\, was inspired to write The Trees Are Speaking after exploring the richness of old growth forests in the Northwest U.S. and Canada. But she also came face to face with the widespread destruction of these forests. Mapes writes\, “The book therefore became a witness not only to the incredible ecological and cultural values of these forests but to the connected history of their loss\, beginning on the East Coast in Maine and repeated across the United States and continuing over the border into Canada\, even today.” \nBut not all is gloom. Mapes also outlines the resilience of nature\, the insights and perseverance of First Nations people who have raised their voices to protect and renew ecosystems\, understandings of our inter-relatedness uncovered by scientists\, and even new approaches to commercial forestry. \nThese are the author\, Lynda V. Mapes’ slides and audio. Her initial slide is up for quite some time\, which might seem like an error\, but please presevere! Lynda’s talk is wonderful! And varied slides do come up.
