Located in Warren, Rhode Island, Hope & Main is a nonprofit culinary incubator dedicated to transforming the local food economy. It supports small food businesses by offering certified, affordable shared-use commercial kitchens and a maker’s market, fostering an environment where food entrepreneurs can thrive. CET staff conducted a waste assessment at Hope & Main Downtown Makers Marketplace and Cafe in Providence, identifying several strategies for enhanced waste reduction: initiating a food scrap diversion program starting with back-of-house operations and expanding to front-of-house, adding waste bin signage, providing additional staff training; and improving mixed recycling programs. Hope & Main Downtown Makers Marketplace is leading the implementation of these CET recommendations to enhance its waste reduction efforts. https://lnkd.in/gNDmgc9N

#MassLive published a great story on #InclusiveUtilityInvestments and CET's pilot with the Ipswich Utilities Electric Light Department and Massachusetts Clean Energy Center. "Massachusetts’s clean energy goals are ambitious, and reaching them is hugely dependent on the decisions of individual homeowners. ... That’s why inclusive utility investments could be a key solution to get more people on board, said Ashley Muspratt, president and CEO of CET. “Off the bat, you are presenting the customer with an opportunity that almost sounds too good to be true,” she said. “But there isn’t a catch. This program is designed to accelerate deployment of these measures.” https://lnkd.in/e6cSfC_7

Meet Douglas Thayer, a small business owner doing construction, renovation, and carpentry in Florence, MA. We worked with him on several energy efficiency projects at his workshop, ranging from blown insulation in the attic to LED bulbs and weatherstripping the doors. These measures have a calculated impact of saving 150 lifetime tons of Carbon, which is the equivalent to planting over 5000 trees! We are doing this business spotlight series to bring awareness to the work we do every day to help small businesses save energy and money. Curious just what that process looked like for Douglas? You'll have to watch the video to find out. Curious what this process could look like for you and your business? Give us a message on socials or contact us through our website! Thank you to Douglas for letting us stop by and for talking with us about his experience with CET. https://lnkd.in/gPRkWtgB

We are excited to share that we have been named a winner of the 2024 Eversource Energy Excellence Awards! CET won in the equity category for our work with Spices of Asia, a wonderful grocer in West Springfield. Small grocers like Spices of Asia often fill in the gaps for full-service grocers in areas where grocery access is limited. Spices of Asia has reduced their carbon by 112,000 pounds - that's like planting over 2,000 trees! We’re proud of our team for the incredible work they did on this project, and for always prioritizing positive customer outcomes while driving #energyefficiency solutions. #ExcellenceAwards24 https://bit.ly/4cXSle6
