The Brookline Community Foundation hosted a Weatherization Action on Saturday, October 24, to coincide with 350.org's International Day of Climate Action. More than 35 volunteers (and 350 fingers!) came to pitch in:

~ cleaning out the dirt floor basement and filling a 30 yard dumpster

~ sealing heating ducts, making them more efficient

~ reglazing old, leaky windows

~ digging out window wells for improved basement ventilation

~ blasting an opening and installing a new workable cellar window

~ beginning to insulate the attic and kneewalls

~ removing the 30 year old boiler and marveling at the new one (oh!)

~ tidying the yard and prepping our last harvest for the Food Pantry

Many thanks to our tireless volunteers and to these companies who donated services;

Green Guild, Village Green Renewal, James G. Grant Co, Malin FX Electric, Zaftigs Delicatessen, Save That Stuff
