As the seasons change and we clean up and clean out the house, we should also take the opportunity to ask ourselves how we can improve our daily lives with more sustainable and mindful daily practices.

A great place to start looking for ideas to improve is on the Rhode Island Energy website where they list some immediate incentives and rebate programs that encourage us to live more sustainably. Here are just a few of these incentives that can easily apply to Quonnie residents:

• Appliance Recycling Program – Rhode Island Energy not only offers a free service for pickup of old appliances, but also has an added rebate to offset the cost of a new energy-efficient replacement for some existing appliances. For more information, follow this link.
• Connected Solutions – By limiting the energy usage at peak hours (when we are on the beach!) on hot summer days, you can earn incentives through Rhode Island Energy. Sign up to connect your EV, thermostat, and/or solar battery backup. For more information, follow this link.
