The volunteers from Massachusetts Climate Summer trained for two day and canvassed 8 weekday evenings. They knocked on 2,700 doors and talked to over 500 Cambridge residents. We garnered 175 requests for free home energy audits, which are available to Cambridge residents living in buildings with 1 to 4 units. Volunteers traded 217 free CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps) for used incandescent bulbs, which will save those residents energy and money immediately.

If you did not have the pleasure of meeting one of our volunteers and you’re interested in receiving information on how to get an energy audit, please go the Cambridge Energy Alliance website, enter your contact info, and we’ll… [view entry]

This PBS NOW show from last year is still an interesting watch for those interested in the Cambridge Energy Alliance’s model for immediate, real-world energy savings with proven, here-and-now tools and technologies. The folks at Energy 2.0 always enjoy cutaway clips of our fair city: the show contains the following unattributed fun factoids and figures:

Cambridge is one of the greenest city in the country
(according to POPSCI.COM we’re actually number 6, after Boston at 5.) 80% of Cambridge’s carbon footprint comes from buildings 25% of Cantabridgians walk to work Cambridge is replacing its streetlights with LED-based models ]]> http://energytwodotzero.org/2009/02/01/cambridge-energy-alliance-on-now/feed/ 0
