… to everyone who reached out to me directly the past couple of weeks with their suggestions on this newsletter.
It's not too late — if you want to share your thoughts about our story picks and what you like to read, send them to me by hitting reply or emailing [email protected]. Ultimately, yes, this is a newsletter broadcast to many people, but we also want it to be a way for us to have more intimate discussions with our audience too.
There's a lot to dig into this week — our Climate Driven series has been exploring Knox and Waldo counties, wrapping up today. Of particular interest to us here in Maine, as electricity and heating costs are high, is a passive house that doesn't use much of either. But there's also a look at vulnerable island infrastructure and Unity College's place in the climate change dicussion, as well.
Cheers!

Maine Public: This Maine home can stay 70 degrees without a furnace, even when it's freezing outside
With extra insulation and lots of sun, a passive house in the town of Hope is able to maintain an indoor temperature of around 70 degrees without the use of a furnace.
Maine Public is very excited to be a media sponsor of The Moth Mainstage coming to the State Theater Thursday, June 8.
The Moth has presented more than 45,000 stories, told live and without notes, by people from all walks of life to standing-room-only crowds worldwide. The Moth Podcast is downloaded more than 100 million times a year, and The Peabody Award-winning The Moth Radio Hour airs weekly on more than 570 public radio stations nationwide including on Maine Public Radio.
Each Moth Mainstage features simple, old-fashioned storytelling, by five wildly divergent raconteurs who develop and shape their stories with The Moth’s artistic team.
The event starts at 7:30 p.m. and promises to be a very special night of storytelling. Click here to learn more.
