Connecting Bostonians to Affordable Renewable Energy, and Cradles to Crayons Keeps Kids Warm

Energy prices are on the rise, and the worst of winter hasn't even hit yet. Reverend Mariama White-Hammond, the Chief of Environment, Energy and Open Space for the City of Boston, joins Nichole to talk about the Hub's "Community Choice" electricity program. The City works with outside vendors to connect Boston residents with affordable electricity, which, depending on the program chosen, can consist of 100% renewable energy. Aubrey Conquergood, Executive Director of Cradles to Crayons Boston, returns to the show for an update on the non-profit's efforts to provide families in need with seasonally-appropriate clothing for children. Aubrey also has details on Cradles' new "Resilience Fund" to help families especially hard-hit by COVID-19.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
