SUMMARY:RECORDING: Garden As If the Earth Matters
DESCRIPTION:GARDEN AS IF THE EARTH MATTERS: Planting for Biodiversity and Climate Resilience \n  \nWatch the recording HERE. \n  \nWatch Anna Fialkoff\, from the Wild Seed Project in Portland\, Maine\, as she explores how gardening with native plants helps foster biodiversity and creates more resilient landscapes. Formerly of the Native Plant Trust in Framingham\, MA\, Anna highlights the wonderful ecological connections that happen in our own backyards and public spaces when we focus on native plants. Without sacrificing beauty\, we can create extraordinary\, vibrant habitats for the insects and birds who are essential to a healthy ecosystem. Anna shares many concrete suggestions for planting and for landscape care\, all designed to enrich our soils and to help mitigate the stresses of climate change. This talk was presented on October 13\, 2022. \n  \nThe contact person for this action would love to form an Acton\, MA area “Native Plant Team” on EnergizeActon.org\, where gardeners could share ideas for planting and for sharing our enthusiasm with others. If this talk inspires you to join such a team\, please go to the bar at the bottom of this page and click\, “Contact Community Admin.” Your message will get through to the correct person. \n  \nThis event was co-sponsored by EnergizeActon.org\, the Acton Garden Club\, and the Acton Conservation Trust. Many thanks to the Acton Garden Club for co-hosting this event as part of their special Shirley Towle Lecture Series. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Go Solar! Acton Homeowners Share Their Experiences
DESCRIPTION:With state and federal incentives\, solar panels pay back faster than ever! \n  \nJoin Matt Liebman and other local Acton homeowners to learn about the potential of solar panels on your home. Is the process complicated? Do solar panels have to face south?  What is the pay-back period for solar panels? Is it better to purchase or lease panels? What incentives are available? What about maintenance? Bring all your questions! (Matt also helped to facilitate the solar carports at Congregation Beth Elohim\, so he is familiar with solar for nonprofit institutions as well.) \n  \nEach Climate Café aims to be a helpful\, informal gathering where Acton residents can discuss a fossil fuel free future.  Local people who have experience in clean energy technologies will share their insights and answer questions from others who are considering these technologies and who are exploring ways to reduce their carbon footprints. Each week in July and August will be a different focus\, with a range of technical and environmental topics. Each session will be one hour\, 5-6pm\, on Wednesdays. When the weather is good\, we will be outside behind the Acton Memorial Library\, so feel free to bring a picnic or grab a slice of pizza and relax while we discuss these positive efforts. If the weather is wet\, we will be inside in the Library’s meeting room on the first floor. (Sorry\, food is discouraged inside.) No need to register. Simply drop by the library. \n  \nMany thanks to the Acton Memorial Library for co-hosting these sessions. EnergizeActon.org is a joint effort of the Acton Climate Coalition and the Town of Acton Sustainability Office. We are committed to education about the climate emergency and to the rapid implementation of clean energy and renewable technologies. Other Town clean energy initiatives include Acton Power Choice Green\, the Clean Energy Coach Program\, Abode Energy Management Consultations (scroll down to “Advanced Consultations”)\, and the Neighborhood Heating and Cooling Project.
