which will inform and bring us up-to-date on the science behind climate change and what can be done to address it.\u00a0 After the presentation, HEST is planning to have tables featuring various home energy savings topics.\u00a0 Finally, HEST will be exploring community solar options, in which folks for whom solar panels on their home is not an option can derive some of their energy from a solar project &#8212; we are looking for ways to educate our community on this topic.<\/p>\n<p>If HEST&#8217;s mission and desire to promote home energy savings interests you, please consider becoming involved and help us out.\u00a0 The projects and ideas listed above need volunteers to help make them a reality!\u00a0 Jim Glickman and Maureen Commane head up HEST, and you can reach Jim at <a href=\"mailto:jamesglickman1@gmail.com\">jamesglickman1@gmail.com<\/a> , and Maureen at <a href=\"mailto:mcbl1@rcn.com\">mcbl1@rcn.com<\/a> .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Green Needham Collaborative&#8217;s Home Energy Savings Team (&#8220;HEST&#8221;) looks at possible ways in which Needham homeowners can reduce their fossil fuel use while increasing their use of renewable energy.\u00a0 HEST wants to help everyone lower their carbon footprint and\u00a0 save<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":6510,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,19,125,132],"tags":[10],"class_list":["post-3888","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy-at-home","category-energy-efficiency","category-fossil-fuels","category-home-energy-savings","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3888","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/32"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3888"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3888\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3888"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3888"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
