Don’t miss! The Center for an Ecology Based Economy (CEBE) is having their climate convergence May 15-17 in Norway Maine. Grateful to support the work of this organization 💪🏽 who, by the way, was just selected to receive $2.9 million to develop and deploy cost effective community solar projects in western Maine. Congratulations!! 🎉 👏🏽 . . . #mainewontwait #climateconference @ecologybasedeconomy #climateaction #climateresilience #ecologybasedeconomy
So pleased to be at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Denver with an amazing group of people working for rural energy justice. #mainecommunitypower #energyjustice #solarcooperative #ecologybasedeconomy
Repair Cafe is hopping at CEBE! We’ll be here until 4, darning, patching, gluing, sewing, and generally trying to add useful life to everyday objects to keep them out of the landfill while slowing down the need to buy more stuff. Come on down for the first of many repair cafes to come! #repair cafes #ecologybasedeconomy #fixit #reducereuserecycle
Amazing panel discussion at Oxbow in Portland tonight. #wabanakialliance #maineyouthforclimatejustice #sierraclubmaine #maineclimateactionnow #ecologybasedeconomy #climatejusticenow
There are a lot of amazing organizations doing inspiring work out there this #GivingTuesday! If the goal of equitable, beautiful, energy-efficient, affordable housing speaks to you, please help us meet our goal of funding Phase Two for our Norway Equitable Housing Cooperative. Let's make this little yellow excavator move! #norwaymaine #norwaydowntown #westernmaine #cooperativehousing #housingcrisis #greenbuilding #mainehousing #demolition #revitalization #ecologybasedeconomy
FundRAZE for equitable housing! Help us raise $75,000 to raze the derelict structures standing between us and funding for our Norway Equitable Housing Cooperarive. All donations for the remainder of the year will be matched, until we hit our goal! #cooperativehousing #norwaymaine #ecologybasedeconomy #housingcrisis #greenbuilding #norwaydowntown
Reduce, reuse, REPAIR! Join us Dec. 9 for a free repair cafe! Bring your well-loved items in need of fixing to CEBE between noon and 4pm. Items volunteers may be able to repair include clothing (darning holes, replacing buttons), small patches on outdoor clothing and gear, garden tool repair (gluing handles, etc.), kitchen knife sharpening, broken pottery ware, small appliance repairs, woodworking, furniture (hinges, table legs, etc.). We will not be able to repair bikes, phones or computers at this time. Please reach out if you are interested in volunteering and offering or learning repair skills. Advance registration for repairs is appreciated but walk-ins are welcome. #repaircafé #repair #diy #fixit #ecologybasedeconomy #norwaymaine
EVs and solar are all over western Maine! A month ago, we came together at our ninth annual Solar & EV Expo to share the many different ways we're deploying climate solutions as individuals and businesses, including making sure we ride share and bike to decrease miles traveled. Thanks to everyone who came excited to learn and share experiences! #driveelectric #ndew2023 #electricvehicle #ebike #mainesolar #maineenvironment #climatesolutions #ecologybasedeconomy #westernmaine #norwaymaine
Happy Expo Eve! See you Saturday outdoors at Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School for everything solar and electric vehicle, plus E-Bikes, heat pumps, ride-sharing, advocacy, burritos, and more! #NationalDriveElectricWeek #ndew2023 #driveelectric #electrifyeverything #cleantransportation #cleanenergy #gosolar #maineenvironment #maineevents #norwaymaine #parismaine #ecologybasedeconomy
Honored to be at the governor’s mansion with the bicycle coalition today to speak on the role of eBikes and eBike rebates in the fight for climate justice. Now is a good time to encourage Efficiency Maine Trust to implement the eBike rebate program approved by the legislature. #eBikes #eBikesmaine #takethelane #ridemaine #bikemaine #ecologybasedeconomy #bicyclecoalitionofmaine #cyclemaine #ridefast
What is bioregionalism all about? Come find out tomorrow (Thursday) at CEBE or on Zoom, 6:30pm.

This morning I ran into Norway Climate Council member Joan Beal, charging her new Crosstrek plug-in hybrid at the Farm to Town trailhead, before heading out on a hike. This in one of six new dual port charging stations that CEBE has recently installed in the area. #driveelectricmaine #norwaymaine #ecologybasedeconomy #evchargingmaine #driveelectricnewengland #hikewhilecharging

There’s a Birthday party at CEBE for another hour! Come on down! Or over. Or up. #ecologybasedeconomy
One thing these Solar & EV Expo photos highlight is the range of technologies we showcased this year. From Lightning and Tesla to warm cookies and bikes - the thing they all had in common was neighbors teaching neighbors, which is the best part of every Expo. #solarpower #electricvehicle #ebike #norwaymaine #ecologybasedeconomy
Stoked to be back with #growsmartmaine today in Biddeford. Great opening keynotes by John Piotti of American Farmland Trust, and Mike McGinn of America Walks. Kicked off and moderated by the fabulous Rhiannon Hampton of USDA Rural Development. So much inspiration in their stories! #americanfarmlandtrust #americawalks #ecologybasedeconomy #ruraldevelopmentmaine #buildmaine

We're crowdgranting this year with @seedmoneyorg to get ready for spring planting with Edible Main Street and Solidarity Gardens! When the pandemic arrived with the growing season in Maine, we worked with @alandaycommunitygarden and @spokefolks to move our Edible Main Street planters to individuals' homes and built raised beds for those in need as we sheltered in place. In 2021,with your support, we'll return our planters to Main Street, support the original cohort of Solidarity Gardens, and engage a new group of aspiring gardeners. We'll unlock more funds from Seed Money if we move quickly toward our goal. Please like, share, comment, and donate for food security! #solidaritygardens #seedmoney #mainershelpingmainers #foodsecurity #crowdgranting #ecologybasedeconomy #generosityeconomy #resilientcommunities

Last night I attended the third Climate Conversation put on by the Waterford Congregational Church. They had an impressive panel of experts who were knowledgeable and extremely passionate. We are fortunate to have these people/organizations right here in our community. They had excellent ideas about how we can change our behaviors to improve our impact on the environment. Our own personal wellbeing is inextricably linked to the wellbeing of our planet. Join us for the next meeting: Tuesday January 7th, 6:30-8:00pm at the Wilkins House.
