CLEAN ENERGY CHOICE IN LOWELL
|
 MIP&L is working on a grant in Lowell to promote the
CLEAN ENERGY CHOICE
initiative.
Under the program (sponsored by the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative), by choosing to purchase electricity from suppliers of clean energy, consumers can trigger awards of grants to Lowell to develop clean/renewable energy projects AND help low income families meet their energy needs!
If we sign up 150 people or entities by APRIL 30, a SOLAR PANEL will be installed on a public building in Lowell!!
MIP&L's Clean Energy Coordinator,
Vince Maraventano is your contact.

GREEN EXPO A HUGE SUCCESS!
|
 The recent Green Expo in Boston brought together hundreds of people throughout New England to put green strategies into ACTION in their homes, schools and workplaces.... Note the key word: ACTION. (Special thanks to the volunteers who staffed the MIP&L booth and helped spread the word about the work MIP&L is doing to support and encourage ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP!)
What are you doing TODAY to "green" your home, place of worship and/or workplace??
ACTION STEPS: GO TO THE MIP&L WEBSITE AND CHECK OUT OUR EVERYDAY ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP (EES) BRIEFS... short, easy-to-understand and use. Among "low-hanging fruit" that gets good quick results are:
· Programmable Thermostats
· Green Electricity
· Interior "Storm" Windows
Read, learn, then act.
And then pass along the good news!
