Greetings people of the internet. So, on today's adventure we find our climate heroes joining forces with the Cambridge Energy Alliance (CEA) for their first day of training. The CEA seeks to reach out to Cambridge community members by offering free energy audits in the efforts of saving people money through reduced energy consumption as well as building the city of Cambridge into a model of sustainability for the nation. We set out early this morning after having a lovely breakfast of oatmeal and fruit. We arrived at CEA headquarters ahead of the scheduled arrival time. Bicycling without the hindrance of gear and trailers was greatly welcomed by the crew. Throughout the day we were trained in CEA canvassing and what exactly would be involved in energy auditing. Check out the CEA's website at:
and their blog:
and they were featured recently on an episode of "NOW" on PBS, part of which can be seen here on Youtube!
At roughly 4:00pm we took to the streets in pairs setting out across Cambridge posting fliers that simply stated the presence of the CEA and its intentions. To our advantage, Cambridge is very biker friendly having many isolated bicycling lanes designed in the traffic structure. Keane and I mainly hit up local businesses including laundromats and restaurants to post fliers. When we were at a local library's sidewalk we stumbled across an Eleanor Roosevelt project presumably created by a middle school student (Libby Mahoney, thank you for your work) which I happily presented on video. I'm sure you will all see that in the near future. At 6:00pm we raced home, merging with the rest of our group at the top of Sunnyside Ave. For now its dinner time, so I'll leave you with this "Without hydrogen bonds, the world would be completely different".
Peace Out.
