<DIV>Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (WBNERR) is hosting a
free workshop on Saturday, October 18, aimed at residents interested in
saving money and the environment. Learn from experts about where our
energy comes from, how this impacts the Cape, what you can do to cut your
electric and fuel bills, and how you can redesign your home and harness
renewable resources. Get an energy-efficient lightbulb and "living local"
lunch too!<BR><BR>Presentations will be provided by Chris Powicki of
WEEinfo Services, Kevin Galligan and Joe Soares of Cape Light Compact,
Bruce Torrey of Building Diagnostics, Tom Wineman of Clean Energy Design,
Liz Argo of SolarWrights<SPAN class=650514715-09102008><FONT face=Arial
