Let’s Change the Conversation ….to What We Want…Not What we Don’t Want PDF Print E-mail
Written by Nancy Hazard   
Wednesday, 13 January 2010

Let’s change the conversation. Let’s talk about what we want - not what we don’t want.

On January 2, the Recorder ran an article about Massachusetts solar energy program for 2010. It said that by the end of 2010, we should have about 50 megawatts (MW) of solar electric panels (photovoltaics) installed state-wide.

New Year’s Celebration & Resolutions

Sunday, January 17, 2-5 pm at the 2nd Congregational Church

 

GREENFIELD, MA – Start the year off with your family with laughter, song, food and information, and join with your neighbors to make a New Year’s Energy Resolution! It’s free at the Greenfield 10% Challenge New Year’s Celebration, to be held on Sunday, January 17, from 2-5 pm, at the Second Congregational Church. If you have not yet signed up for the 10% Challenge, this event will be a great opportunity to do so. Special activities will be offered for children.


Over 400 households have taken the Greenfield 10% Challenge and pledged to reduce their energy use by 10% by the end of 2010. This marks the halfway point to the Greening Greenfield Energy Committee’s goal of engaging 800 households in the campaign.

It's About the What Kind of People We Want to Be

This is the moment at which we turn and face ourselves. Here, in the plastic corridors and crowded stalls, among impenetrable texts and withering procedures, humankind decides what it is and what it will become. It chooses whether to continue living as it has done, until it must make a wasteland of its home, or to stop and redefine itself. This is about much more than climate change. This is about us.

Written by Ariel Schwartz   
Sunday, 20 December 2009
Last week, I took a trip down to San Jose for West Coast Green, an environmentally-focused conference with an emphasis on sustainable building. One booth stood out from the crowd—Magnetic Air Cars, Inc.. The San Jose-based company claims that it is working on the world’s first fuel-less car (as opposed to the World’s Most Fuel Efficient Car).
