Cambridge Chronicle and canvassing

Cambridge Team--Medford

The Cambridge Chronicle just wrote an article about the work that we "climate heroes" are doing with the Cambridge Energy Alliance, check it out!

We just moved into a new home, thanks to the Wesley United Methodist Church in Medford, and are getting ready for our second day of Climate Summer canvassing around Somerville. Hopefully the rain will hold off for a while and we can beat last week's success rate of over 80 houses each! Somerville is super densely populated, which makes it easy to talk to a lot of people in a short amount of time, and we'll be canvassing right around the church where we are holding our symposium this weekend so that those who attend can connect with other interested people in their neighborhood.
We're also looking forward to this Sunday, when we get to participate in a HEET energy efficiency barn raising at the Cambridge Community Center. I can't wait to get some hands-on experience of how weatherization is actually done; we'll be installing indoor storm windows with Lilah from CEA. Like any good old-fashioned barn raising, the idea is to bring members of the surrounding community together to help each other out, learn some new skills, learn about energy efficiency, and of course have a party afterwards!
