 Note: To power your home with renewable energy, see the most recent Subscription Community Solar chart and FAQ: and 100% Renewable Electricity chart.

So, this is a good time to reign in our energy use. Recently, Eileen Hanrahan, a Community Energy Advisor with Cornell Cooperative Extension, presented “Energy Savings for your Home”, sponsored by First Presbyterian Union Church in Owego. Here is a recording of her presentation, which is 28 minutes long, followed by a Q&A session: Do you have additional energy and cost-saving tips to share? Please send them to me and I’ll include them in next month’s Energy Update.
As always, I’m happy to discuss with you any decarbonization plans you’re considering. You’re welcome to contact me by phone or email. Please include your zip-code, so I know what resources are available to you. I remain, Renewably Yours, Gerri
