FREE HOME energy saving workshop coming to Cavendish OCTOBER 6th Open to Residents of Cavendish, Ludlow and Weathersfield Want to reduce home energy use, but not sure where to start?  Tired of cold or drafty spots around your house?  Wondering what resources are available to help make efficiency improvements? You’ll learn about all this and more by attending a free Button Up Vermont workshop on Monday, October 6 , at 7:00 pm in the Cavendish Town Elementary School on Main Street in Proctorsville. Cavendish is hosting this session, one of 100 being held statewide. The workshop will focus on the greatest opportunities for saving energy in homes, finding and sealing air leaks, energy efficiency actions that people can take now, and where to find technical and financial resources to get started.  Button Up Vermont’s specially trained presenter will lead a slide show to illustrate hands-on tips, bring samples of energy saving materials, and provide free educational materials for everyone attending. “Button Up workshops are designed to help people learn about the best ways to save energy in their homes,” explains Rich Svec, Cavendish’s Energy Coordinator.  “These free workshops are considered a first step for Vermonters wanting to learn how to be most effective in reducing their energy use and costs.  This is particularly important this year with fuel costs at all-time high levels and people worrying about their fuel budgets.” Button Up Vermont is a new program of the Central Vermont Community Action Council, in partnership with the Vermont Energy and Climate Action Network (VECAN) and Efficiency Vermont. Funding is provided by the Vermont Agency of Human Services.
