After my kids left home I didn't need the giant double-door refrigerator any more so I exchanged it for a much more energy efficient smaller one. I got this one from Jarvis, and I'm quite happy with it.

I've actually done the home audit three times, because it was required for the heatpump, solar panels, and solar hot water, and each time I got something out of it. Highly recommend it!!!

I leased my first 100% electric Smart in November of 2014. I'm now on my second one, and I will never go back to a gas-powered car. The best part about driving electric: It's the cheapest car I have ever driven. No maintenance needed, and many places allow you to charge up for free. I plug it into a regular outlet at home (which takes all night, but who cares!?) and if I have to travel longer distances I take a bus or carpool with friends.

Everyone in Wayland should join the Metrowest node of 350Mass! Visit the website at www.350MassMetrowest.org for more detail. Our meetings alternate between Sudbury and Wayland, and there's lots of exciting stuff happening in 2020!!

When my electric water tank stopped working and I had to get a new one I decided to call New England Solar Hot Water. They are amazing. Even though my sun-facing roof is already completely packed with Solar PV they found a small corner where they could install solar hot water. It looks a bit like a UFO landed on my roof, but that's just fine with me.

We have been doing this now for several weeks. It is SO EASY. With Septic and no garbage disposal all the food was going into the trash anyways. Plus so much can be composted I was shocked - wine corks, fireplace ash, some paper towels, and the list goes on.....
