Newton to offer electric Power Choice program
Many businesses, organizations and residents ask what they can do to address climate change. Broadly speaking, they can do two things: use less energy by doing things like turning off appliances when they are not in use, insulating their homes or other buildings, driving fuel-efficient vehicles and electrifying their business fleet; and they can use renewable energy. In other words: they can use less, and green the rest.

We will miss Mount Ida
I know better than many what it felt like to be a Mount Ida student on April 6. Back in the 70s, I was a sophomore at a small private college in southern Vermont when, one morning in late March, our college president called an all-campus assembly. Windham College, he told us, was out of money and would go out of business in six weeks.
