The Cambridge Energy Alliance is debuting a poster art exhibit to inform the public about climate change and its impacts, the carbon emissions of Cambridge, and how local citizens can make a difference. Over 80% of Cambridge’s carbon emissions come from energy use in residential and commercial buildings, so eliminating wasted energy in our homes and workplaces is a priority.
The Cambridge Energy Alliance art exhibit displays many ways people can conserve energy and get connected to efficiency programs and resources. The Exhibit will be on display from Wednesday, February 16th, 2010 through March 20th, 2010 at the Clear Conscience Café located at 581 Massachusetts Ave in Cambridge, MA.
Following the 4-week showing at the Clear Conscious Café, the CEA art exhibit will be rotated to other locations throughout Cambridge. The 2’ X 3’ color series include 12 posters with educational and pointed messages about what citizens can do to decrease their environmental footprints.

In the face of ever-increasing utility costs, and amid growing concerns about climate
change, energy independence, and economic security, the Cambridge Energy Alliance (CEA) today announced it has formed partnerships with four well-established lending institutions, to provide specialized loans and innovative financial solutions for energy efficiency improvements to Cambridge residents and businesses. The lenders were selected following an in-depth evaluation of numerous responses to proposals.
“We are delighted that these lenders have partnered with us,” stated Josh Hassol, Chief Executive Officer of the Cambridge Energy Alliance. “These partnerships will allow Cambridge residents and business owners to make sound, cost-effective investments in critical energy efficiency improvements that work for their individual budgets. Residents and businesses will save money on their utility bills while they reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the City.”
The banks and lending institutions that have partnered with CEA include East Cambridge Savings Bank, Citizens Bank, Key Equipment Finance, and Bostonia Partners, and cover all potential customer segments of the Cambridge Energy Alliance across the City, from individual homeowners to large institutions and businesses.
All lending institutions are ready to begin working with customers of Cambridge Energy Alliance immediately in order to maximize participation.
