<p class=MsoNormal><b>Button-Up for the Winter: Cozy, Cost-effective, and
Sustainable!<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Waquoit Bay Reserve continues its monthly First Tuesday’s
forums at the Visitor Center with, “Button-Up for the Winter: Cozy,
Cost-effective, and Sustainable!” with Kevin Galligan, Energy Efficiency
Program Manager at Cape Light Compact. Mr. Galligan, who also
teaches a class on energy efficiency at Cape Cod Community College, will
provide practical information about Cape Light Compact energy efficiency
programs for residential customers including free and low cost programs and
materials available to consumers. In addition, he’ll reveal some tips for
lowering your energy bills (both electricity and fuel). Just what is a
phantom load? What are the top ten most effective actions you can take to lower
your energy bill? Is it really true the Cape Light Compact will replace all the
old light bulbs in my house with compact fluorescent bulbs if I request a free
energy audit for my home? What’s the scoop about that $1500 federal tax credit?
What about the state, do they have programs that will help me make my home more
energy efficient? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Following Mr. Galligan’s presentation, there will be a
hands-on session where people will get to try out Watt’s Up meters, the smart
strip and an infra-red camera. Energy Star catalogs will also be distributed. The
new smart strip technology will be demonstrated and one lucky winner will get
to take home the smart strip as a door prize.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This program is the second in the series: “Reduce Your
Nitrogen Footprint: First Tuesdays at Waquoit Bay Reserve Visitor Center”. Each
month, we’ll look at a different action that can help to preserve our coastal
waters for ourselves and our children. Too much nitrogen entering our water
results in polluted coastal bays by fertilizing the seaweed which chokes out
the native grasses, an important habitat for the fish and shell fish we
eat. Along with the practical information presented by a topic
specialist, Reserve staff will introduce the talks with information on how the
reserve is modeling the chosen behavior as well as research going on at Waquoit
Bay that shows the connections between actions on land and effects on water.
The talks are followed by discussion time where participants can ask questions
as well as share their own solutions and experiences. Finally, the last part of
the workshops will include a hands-on portion and take away. The lecture starts
at 7 pm and will wrap up by 8:30. People are also invited to come fifteen
minutes early for light snacks and to view visitor center exhibits.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The program is free and open to all. Reasonable
accommodations (including sign language or Portuguese interpreter) are
available upon request. Registration is appreciated but not required. For more
information and a downloadable complete schedule of the monthly forums as well
as on-line registration, please go to <a href="http://www.waquoitbayreserve.org">www.waquoitbayreserve.org</a>.
You can also call 508-457-0495 x107 for further questions or suggestions.<o:p></o:p></p>
