Tip #5: Our nation-leading building energy codes help CRUSH energy use for heating. These codes lower energy use (and bills) for a building’s residents and businesses, and save for everyone by minimizing the need for upgrades to our electric grid.

So glad Pepper has made her DOER Bluesky debut!
DOER staff visited Eversource’s Framingham Networked Geothermal Pilot Project. Networked geothermal is a network of ground-source heat pumps. It pulls the earth’s heat out of the ground to warm buildings in winter, and sends heat into the ground to cool buildings in summer.

i feel like it's an open question whether or not the flu vaccine will even be available next season
On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down.
For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now

Haha. I reward Costco more than I ever plan to every time I go.
I think it’s really important we identify the companies that are doing the right thing and reward them with our business.
