One person’s donation, no matter how small, can combine with others to bring comfort and positive change to a family facing unimaginable challenges after their child has been diagnosed with a critical illness.

Giving Back to the Community

A long time ago, the Royal River was an important part of life here in our neck of the woods, powering mills and allowing a community to grow and flourish. Nowadays, we see what the river helped to create. We believe that ordinary people can come together to make a big difference, too, in helping to create a community that continues that growth.

Our “Ripple to River” program is highlighting Make-A-WishⓇ Maine this month, an important organization in our community that could use your help.

New Energy Star Standards

The White House has announced that the government is going to develop “building performance standards” for federal buildings and establish new Energy Star standards for heat pumps. This is all part of the White House agenda to achieve 100 percent clean electricity by 2035. According to this article from the Washington Post, Jeffrey Schub, Executive Director of the Coalition for Green Capital, said “The need for heat pumps is clear. Electric heat pumps are the key central technology for decarbonizing buildings, especially households.”

Installing electric heat pumps in place of a gas furnace and gas water heater could reduce heating emissions by more than 45 percent over the next 10 years. That’s like cutting your car’s carbon pollution by more than half, according to his article from Sierra Club.
