LIRA Lecture Series: Electric Vehicles 101
Friday November 22nd, 2024
Curious about getting an electric car, but not sure where to start? The Green Energy Consumers Alliance will cover environmental benefits, cost savings, charging, purchase incentives, and more.
The mission of the Green Energy Consumers Alliance is to empower consumers and communities to speed a just transition to a zero-carbon world.
Our choices as energy consumers are crucial to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and to shaping and enacting public policy that protects people and the environment.
Green Energy Consumers’ programs allow people to explore cost-effective, green solutions to their energy needs and to advance state policy toward electrification, renewable energy, grid modernization, and climate justice.
Paid for by the Marjorie Scoboria Lecture Fund
This is a hybrid event. You can attend in person at the Chelmsford Adams Library or use zoom. To register go to this page.

jchristopher@chelmsfordlibrary.orgCCAT at the fall festival, Saturday, September 28, 2024
A terrific fair took place Saturday Sept 28, 2024 on the town common. Kudos to the Health Department for putting this event on. Oh, would it be nice to do something similar for Earth Day. The person to talk to about that is Donna Greenwood director of the Health Department. The weather helped to make this one of the most crowded local fairs ever.
It was especially fun for kids. There was a mobile petting zoo, pumpkin painting, coloring, balloon animals, heavy equipment to climb on, dancing and music on the stage. Also there were plenty of food trucks and the Farmers Market was there too in its usual spot.
There were so many tables. The Recycling Committee had one and showed how aluminum foil could be effectively recycled by combining little pieces from Hersey Kisses into a big ball. Didn’t get to check it out, but the table on littering looked interesting. The composting program also had an exhibit.
CCAT was there too. Julie Carney led us, bringing her canopy and table with the CCAT table cloth. See picture below. She also brought some kids puzzles that a former CCAT member, Tamar made. At time it worked well to have the kids play with the puzzles while we talked to the parents about climate change. Bern was right out front asking folks to sign up for our newsletter and become members of CCAT.
One of the most interesting things that happed was Tom Christiano interviewing us about CCAT. Somehow the police chief even got into the video. Here is a link to the video. Maybe we should get together with Tom C and do more videos on various climate change topics?
Gardening for Wildlife in an Era of Climate Change
Date: September 18, 2024
Time: 6:45pm – 8:15pm
Location: Chelmsford Library, McCarthy Room
Presented by Trevor Smith of Weston Nurseries
Please note: This event is in-person only. Registration for this event is preferred but not required. Walk-in patrons are welcome.
The evidence is clear: Climate change is here. The effects that scientists have long predicted are occurring and will only intensify in coming years. What does this mean for our native flora and fauna? And what can one homeowner really do to mitigate a global crisis? Trevor Smith will take you past the bleak outlook and talk about what we CAN do. How our plant choices and simply changing the way we maintain our properties can make a huge difference in our local ecology. Trevor makes it clear that the power to slow or stop climate change doesn’t rest solely in the hands of government. We can all make a difference. His presentation will leave you inspired and empowered to take action.
Our speaker, Trevor Smith, has 20 years of field experience as a certified regenerative landscape designer. He is also a past President and a current Trustee of the Ecological Landscape Alliance. He currently is the Design and Education Manager at Weston Nurseries. This presentation sponsored by the Chelmsford Clean Energy and Sustainability Committee.
LIRA Lecture Series: An Overview of Climate Change and Associated Impacts With a Focus on New England
Date: Friday, September 13, 2024
Time: 1:00pm – 2:30pm
Location: Chelmsford Library, McCarthy Meeting Room (Entire Room)
Registration is required. There are 61 in-person seats available. There are 297 online seats available. This is a hybrid program. If you register to attend online, you will receive the zoom link in your email. To register, go to the Chelmsford Library event page
There are many misconceptions surrounding the science of climate change due, in part, to a sea of misinformation. This barrier to understanding the significance of the climate change problem is both because of holes in our secondary education as well as intentionally misleading information designed to create doubt which yields a false sense of security and delayed action. Unfortunately, this delayed action has led to an increasing climate crisis we face today. While the impacts of the climate crisis are multifaceted, our scientific understanding has increased sufficiently that we have growing confidence in likely future outcomes not only for increased temperatures and sea level rise, but also for extreme events and water availability, quantity, and quality. As such, we will provide an overview of the changing climate system with a focus on impacts to the hydrologic cycle in New England and the risk of increasing extreme events.

CEAS Presented Article 25 at Fall Town Meeting 2023
Asking town to Opt-in to Specialized Energy Code
October 19 at senior Center
NOTE: In 2023 The Specialized Energy Code was Passed!!!!
The Specialized Energy Code:
- Affects new construction only, not existing buildings
- Allows for use of gas or oil in new construction but demands that solar also be added to building site to partly offset greenhouse emissions. Also wiring for future electric appliances and heat pumps must also be installed during construction.
- Costs of adding wiring are very modest. Solar install expense has been shown to be approximately recoverable in house sales price- it is also an improvement to the home, and an asset in reducing electric utility costs..
- New construction that is all electric has the same requirements as the already adopted Stretch Code
Thanks to all who attended the Town Meeting and advocated for passage of Article 25.
We had heard grumblings that Solar makes it harder to sell a house, and that incentives are better than regulations for private homes. In general, the current push to reduce emissions through electrification is using incentives rather than penalties. As a result, the home owner will get a 30% tax credit to install on-site Solar. When building a new house, an optimal Solar system can be designed by orienting the house toward the sun and maximizing the size of the rooftop on which to place the panels.
The home owner will have the choice to continue using fossil fuels in spite of the fact it is counter to our town and state goals to reduce emissions to net zero by 2050. In the long run that jeopardizes our
safety from the damages caused by escalating climate change. It is not such a hardship to ask them to make up for these emissions by generating some clean renewable energy.
Home Energy Efficiency - Tuesday, October 10, 2023 at 7:00 PM

Fall Festival on The Chelmsford Common - Saturday Sept 30th, 2023 12-4 pM
CCAT will be participating in the 2nd annual Fall Festival on the Common, organized by the Chelmsford Health Department. We will have information about how residents can reduce use of polluting fossil fuels by transitioning from gas to electric stoves, dryers and heating/cooling systems, and by opting for clean energy sources through the Chelmsford Choice electrical aggregation program. We will also have a children’s activity to encourage adoption of sustainable actions. Stop by to chat with us at Booth #47 on Westford Street and help spread the word to your family, friends and neighbors about this new Chelmsford tradition.
Climate Impact of Private Jet Expansion Forum -
Thursday, September 28 - 6:30 - 7:45 -Reed Room, Bedford Town Hall, 10 Mudge Way, Bedford
Massport is planning a massive hangar build-out for private jets at Hanscom Field (NOT at
Hanscom Air Force Base), representing the largest single development in Hanscom’s history. If carried out, these plans will dramatically increase greenhouse gas emissions and undermine municipal, state, and national climate goals at a time when climate scientists are urging us to accelerate these goals and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The speakers will present information on the proposed expansion and its impact on our climate and our community. After hearing from the speakers, there may be opportunity for questions. RSVP to attend in person or by Zoom: REGISTER HERE – Registration link
For questions, contact: info.ma.bedford@mothersoutfront.org
"Neighbor to Neighbor": Heat Pumps 101 Thursday, September 28 @ 7:pM At J. V. fletcher Library, 50 Main Street, Westford

Learn about financial incentives and rebates.
Cold-climate heat pumps can maintain 100% of their rated capacity down to 5° F and operate to -15° F. In summer, they provide all the benefits of central AC in homes both with and without ducts. Does this technology for heating AND cooling make sense for your home? Learn why you should invest in heat pump technology and how heat pumps will reduce your energy bills while lowering your home’s carbon footprint!
This seminar is co-sponsored by the Westford Clean Energy and Sustainability Committee, HeatSmart Alliance, and the J. V. Fletcher Library.

Bern Kosicki - Climate Change Action in Chelmsford - What can you do?
This was CCAT’s first live presentation at the Adams Library since COVID-19. Bern described the two climate action groups in Chelmsford, Chelmsford Climate Action Team and the Clean Energy and Sustainability Committee (CEAS). He gave a brief history of CCAT, highlighting the Climate Resolution presented at Town Meeting, which led to the formation of CEAS. Then he reported on what CEAS is working on, highlighting the Green House Gas Inventory and the Climate Action Plan. He reviewed the actions that have been taken so far and the plans for further action, which is where we all come in.
Check out Bern’s slides Bern’s slides

Climate Resolution Passed at Spring Town Meeting 2021
In 2021, the Chelmsford Climate Action Team submitted a warrant article to be taken up at the June town meeting. The article did two things. First, it affirmed that Chelmsford recognizes the human-caused nature of the climate change crisis. Second, it called on the Select Board to create a new town committee responsible for advising the Select Board on getting Chelmsford to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Article 28 was passed thanks to a great deal of legwork done by the CCAT team including publicity, gaining sponsors (the Sierra Club), and passionate speeches at the town meeting itself. In the picture above, Bern Kosicki (CCAT member) is standing at the podium in the white and green paid shirt, presenting the article, while CCAT member and Town Meeting rep Tom Armino (blue shirt) stands at the microphone speaking in support of the article.
