Over 9 million acres  of forest were lost globally in 2023. While agriculture is the top cause of deforestation globally, beef production is the worst culprit within this sector. Cattle farming alone causes 41 percent of the world’s tropical deforestation.

Eversource Heat Pump Rate A quick reminder: Households with one or more heat pumps are eligible for a heat pump rate from Eversource, who estimates that it can save you close to 20% on your electricity bill. (Heat pump water heaters by themselves do not qualify.) We announced this back in November, but if you missed that and haven’t signed up (or been signed up automatically) it’s very easy to do so. Just go to  https://www.eversource.com/residential/account-billing/manage-bi

Reducing the carbon footprint of humans is critical to preserving the viability of Earth. One of the few things affecting the climate that we as individuals can control, and one of the most important, is what we eat. This is the first in a series of 12 very short weekly Tips on how we can change our diet to lower our carbon footprint. Serving 1 of 12 A plant-based diet is healthier for us – the medical community is united on that. And climate scientists say with one voice th

The earth’s climate is deteriorating and we must do what we can do to avoid making things worse – work to protect our planet and all its people. Bayou Liberty flood Part One – Climate Refugee I have experienced climate change firsthand. I call myself a three-time climate refugee. In 1991, my husband and I left our D.C. lawyer lives and moved to what seemed like paradise on Bayou Liberty, across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans, Louisiana.

During the 70's energy crisis, Michael got very interested in energy conservation and solar heating, eventually designing a few solar heating systems for friends. He had followed developments in that area since, so when he and Linda moved to Lincoln in 2014 and bought a house with great solar orientation but disastrous heating bills, they were ready. The House When Purchased: Part Disaster, Part Jewel Fifty years after it was built, this mid-sixties Deck House still had its o

To understand these two changes, it’s helpful to know that your electricity bill includes two parts, called Supply and Delivery. Supply  refers to the generation  of electricity (e.g., from wind turbines, solar panels, burning fossil fuels, etc.). In Lincol
