First Day of CEA Canvassing




Cambridge Team - Cambridge

Today we completed our first day of canvassing for Cambridge Energy Alliance. We are giving people tips on how to conserve energy in their homes, exchanging compact fluorecent lightbulbs (CFLs) for their incandecent bulbs and getting people to sign up for free energy audits. Many people were not home, but many of those we talked to were excited about what we were doing and we even had several people who couldn't even accept the free CFL because they had changed all their light bulbs already! We've also been so delightfully suprised at how many people bike around Cambridge, in fact only 30 percent of Cambridges emissions come from vehicles, while most of it comes from buildings, which makes our work for CEA that much more important.

We have also scheduled our first Awakening the Dreamer Symposium for Saturday, June 27th, from 1-4pm at the College Avenue United Methodist Church at 14 Chapel St, Davis Square, in Somerville. It will be sponsered by Cambridge Welcoming Ministries (http://cambridgewelcomingministries.org/) and we are looking forward to putting it on! We are also planning our next symposium for the week after that will be sponsered by CEA.
Keep up the good work!
