SUMMARY:Climate Action Film and Discussion: The Extraordinary Caterpillar
DESCRIPTION:Peek into the world of nature’s tiniest superheroes. In collaboration with several climate activists in Ashland\, we’re hosting a special screening of The Extraordinary Caterpillar\, a beautifully shot 60-minute documentary that reveals the vital—and often overlooked—role caterpillars play in our ecosystems. This is a chance to see nature in a whole new light—and to be part of the movement to bring it home. We hope you’ll join us. \nWe’ll all watch the hour long film and then have a discussion about it\, moderated by Ashland’s own Margy Gassel! \nRegistration is requested so we know how many seats to have out. \nAbout the Film: \nOver 98% of the living world on Earth is smaller than a bee. Yet humans view the planet as a world centered around themselves. Landscapes are deconstructed to suit human needs\, often with little regard for the natural systems that sustain the food web. The Extraordinary Caterpillar follows the scientists and community activists with this peek into the dazzling world of nature’s tiniest superheroes. \nHomegrown National Park is the U.S. organizer of the impact campaign for The Extraordinary Caterpillar. The film features our co-founder\, Dr. Doug Tallamy\, and shines a spotlight on the critical—but often overlooked—role caterpillars play in biodiversity. \nAlong the way\, you’ll see the groundbreaking work of The Caterpillar Lab\, entomologist David Wagner\, and Doug Tallamy\, co-founder of Homegrown National Park. \nCaterpillars are the engine of food webs. They feed birds\, support pollinators\, and keep ecosystems thriving. By restoring native plants\, we restore caterpillar populations—and that’s at the very heart of our mission. \nFrom blooming meadows to city parks and backyard gardens\, this inspiring film celebrates the magic of nature while showing families practical ways to make a difference. \n  \n\nInspiring stories about why caterpillars are essential to healthy ecosystems\nSimple steps you can take to create habitat in your own yard or community\nA chance to ask questions during a live Q&A*\n\nThis program is sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library. \nSign up for our Ashland Public Library Newsletters!

SUMMARY:From Gas Pumps to Charging Stations: EV Basics for Everyday Drivers
DESCRIPTION:Now Is the Time to Go Electric!\nWith local gas prices climbing toward $4.50 a gallon\, the financial case for making the switch to an electric vehicle has never been stronger. Charging an EV at home on Eversource East costs the equivalent of just $2.80 per gallon – saving drivers roughly 38% per mile. And the savings don’t stop at the pump. Because EVs eliminate oil changes\, spark plugs\, and complex exhaust systems\, they cost 30–50% less to maintain over their lifespan than gas-powered cars. All told\, drivers can expect around $4\,000 in total cost-of-ownership savings over the first five years. \nAlthough the supply of new EV models is a bit unpredictable at the moment\, there are still great options out there. And do not forget the used EV market\, where most vehicles are also eligible for the Massachusetts MOR-EV incentives ($3500). The volunteer inputting this information just turned in a 2023 Kia EV6 with only 17\,000 miles. A wonderful vehicle at a HUGE savings. We bought a 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5 to replace the leased car and got a very good deal on the new vehicle. Please do not let our topsy-turvy market circumstances prevent you from finding a vehicle that you will love! \nWhether you’re looking to purchase or lease\, now is a great time to lock in immediate\, predictable savings. Hear directly from EV drivers\, get your questions answered\, and take the next step to going electric. Register for the MassEnergize online webinar on June 17\, 2026\, 7–8pm: www.bit.ly/EV-101.  \nAnd stay tuned for the EnergizeActon.org EV Petting Zoo coming up in July. This is a wonderful yearly event for EV drives to meet up\, plus potential EV drivers can check out the cars and ask lots of questions! \n  \n

SUMMARY:Clean Energy Mini Fair!
DESCRIPTION:It’s ELECTRIC!  EVs\, Smart Thermostats\, Home Insulation\, and MORE!\nJoin us for a re-imagining of our postponed EV Petting Zoo! Yes\, we will still have electric vehicles\, but the Sustainability Office will also bring in the Eversource Energy Efficiency Experience. Find out about all the actions you can take to make your home more energy efficient\, from affordable low maintenance EVs (no more gas pumps!) and money-saving home insulation to “connected solutions” such as smart thermostats that help keep down costs during severe heat. Plus\, learn about the appliances that create healthier indoor and outdoor environments\, such as induction stoves and electric leaf blowers.  Information will be available on all the Massachusetts and Mass Save rebates for the new technology. Make your driving a zero emissions\, high performance\, and more affordable experience! Address the energy leaks in your living space\, introduce more efficient heating and cooling\, and reduce emissions. \nAre you an EV driver? Please register or just drop by to share your experience! Are you thinking about an EV? Please come and chat with us. EV drivers LOVE to share the INs and OUTs of their cars. We hope to have a good variety of vehicles—passenger models from Ford\, Toyota\, Chevrolet\, Subaru\, Kia\, Hyundai\, and more\, plus electric vehicles purchased by the Town of Acton. \nSnacks and beverages will be provided. \nRegister HERE. \nResources will also be available addressing the following topics. \nHome Heating\, Cooling\, and Energy Resources \n\nActon’s FREE Clean Energy Coach Program\nServices offered through Acton’s Community First Partnership with Mass Save\nIncentives Spreadsheet for Massachusetts (including Mor-EV\, Mass Save\, EV Charging equipment rebates and managed charging savings\, and solar savings)\nIntroduction to Heat Pumps\nOptions for Solar Energy\n\nElectric Vehicle Resources \n\n2026 EV pricing\nMassachusetts incentives for new and used EVs\nIncreasing range of electric vehicles\nBattery updates\nCost and incentives for home charging\nMaintenance savings\nVehicle handling\nLook for special tips about the growing used EV market and other helpful organizations such as the Drive Green program.\n\nOne Michigan car aficionado and EV driver\, Jamie Racklyeft\, wrote earlier this year\, “I’m on my fourth EV now and I’m not going back: A 2025 international survey of 27\,000+ EV drivers found 93% would choose another battery-electric EV\, while only 1% would return to gas or diesel. . . So yes\, 2026 may feel quieter than the hype years. But quieter isn’t weaker. It’s steadier. And steadiness is how lasting change actually takes hold.” \nThank you so much for your interest and expertise! \nEnergizeActon.org is a joint effort of the Acton Climate Coalition and the Town of Acton Sustainability Office. Interested in lending a skill? Contact us at info@energizeacton.org.  We meet the 1st Wednesday of each month.

SUMMARY:A Clean Charles River Controls Carbon
DESCRIPTION:Healthy waterways diminish global warming. Unfortunately\, raw sewage is still flowing into the Charles River\, making the river filthy\, unsafe\, and less able to draw carbon from the atmosphere. Join Congregation Or Atid’s Climate Action Committee for a presentation by the Charles River Watershed Association about their “Cut the Crap” initiative.
