Did you know that heat pumps also provide air conditioning?
They do!
This summer is supposed to be extra hot, so sign up for this webinar from our friends at Green Energy Consumers Alliance and learn how you can save money while installing a heating and cooling system for your home. Install a heat pump and you will never have to carry a window air conditioner down from the attic!

Another great Cleaner Greener Quincy! We spent the morning cleaning up trash and pulling invasive species like garlic mustard (and styrofoam packing peanuts!) along Black’s Creek.
Thank you to Ward 5 City Councilor Maggie McKee for stopping by to help!
And thank you to for organizing and also allowing QCAN to have a table at the post-cleanup BBQ!

A friendly reminder: Every time you use ChatGPT or make a silly; albeit sometimes funny, AI meme, image or video, there are environmental consequences. Our AI usage is depleting water supplies and using fossil fuels at an ever-increasing alarming rate. (And it is making billionaires richer in the meantime.)
Save the AI for medical/scientific advancements!

The emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.
