Join the Earth Day EcoChallenge

Are you wondering how to participate in a community wide Earth Day event?  We found a virtual tool to create community and positive action around the topic of protecting and honoring our global home.

We invite you to join ener-G-save’s “Cooler Communities” Team that is participating in the online Earth Day Ecochallenge in honor of the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day.  There are currently over 700 teams and 8500 participants from around the world. 

Earth Day Ecochallenge is a virtual environmental and social engagement program. It started on April 1 and until April 30, you can select actions that align with your individual values. For every completed action, you earn points and create impact. 

Team members can communicate with one another and share ideas and successes.  This helps us build relationships with others throughout the Pioneer Valley and beyond!

If you are looking for an activity to do with your children, this program is very adaptable for all ages. 

Choose from this list of actions in categories such as Wildlife, Freshwater, Oceans, People, Food, Climate, and Forests. It is free and everyone is welcome.                         

Simply sign up, then look for and join the Cooler Communities Team.  Please share this with others through emails as well as social media, a crucial and effective means for communicating during these uncertain times.

Virtual Audits for Mass Save customers with BIG incentives

FREE VIRTUAL energy audits by Mass Save with 100% of insulation FREE

Likely you know about the Mass Save program. Many of you reading this now have already taken advantage of free energy assessments which are now saving you money and reducing your energy use. 

If you have not had a Mass Save energy audit within the past two years, you may qualify for a VIRTUAL home energy assessment. This new program allows auditors to do an energy audit without leaving their homes and without coming into yours. Instead,  with just your smartphone or similar device, you take and send a small number of requested digital photos. After the contractor studies your images, they provide your free energy report with suggestions and send by mail your ‘instant saving measures’ like LED bulbs, smart power strips, etc. 

The  recommended improvements obviously CANNOT be done in your home until our current situation improves. At that point, Mass Save approved contractors can complete the work, and the best news is that you’ll receive:

100% of insulation that is completed by September 30, 2020 is FREE.

You MUST sign up for this virtual audit by April 30, 2020.
 

Here’s how to sign up:
