Please sign and share to create 21st century buildings.
the state has screwed up current initiatives. they are totally asinine. the new green building code formula canNOT be applied to small buildings, 800 square feet and under . houses air tight enough require a $500 fan in the bathroom that draws air in from the outside at the same time so you can vent out steam from the shower. epa woodstoves so over designed they no longer function. heat pumps are way too expensive, building materials used for efficiency include HUGE proportions of styrofoam and plastic (petroleum products) manufactured out of state using coal fired power plants, the cost of building materials needed like this has skyrocketed. it is much cheaper to buy an older inefficient home. i suspect this movement has been bought by big business. better return to hippie days with salvaged materials and local lumber, yurts, domes and earth houses. yuppified towns have upped their zoning to exclude tiny homes, mobile homes and other low cost building alternatives. this at a time when there is a deathly shortage of affordable housing. so i cannot sign this well intentioned petition. "green" construction is a farce so far, having personally spent big dollars and six months trying to get a design approved in a very liberal community in this state. crazy fucked up!! do not let your community go "green"

No Fracked Gas in Mass & Other Events
Let's create a better building code for Massachusetts - one that reflects the urgency of action needed to meet our state's legally-mandated reductions in climate emissions. State agencies are currently modeling scenarios for energy use in our state, a large portion of which is consumed by operating our buildings. These scenarios are finding that we must aggressively increase building efficiency in order to meet the legally mandated reduction of emissions laid out by the 2008 Global Warming Solutions Act, and reiterated by Governor Baker’s 2016 Executive Order on Climate Change. These emissions reductions will not be possible without a fast transition to electric air-source heat pumps for building space heating and water heating, improved thermal envelopes, reduced overall building energy use, and support for electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Sign the petition, tweet the Governor and pass along to all your friends in MA!
