DIY at Home: Staying Warm in Winter
Welcome to the CCE Tompkins Energy & Climate Change Blog!
We have a wide range of programs that engage students, children, and adults, including home efficiency upgrades, energy education, workforce development programs, and community projects. Since Tompkins County is such a happening place, we often work with other organizations that have a similar focus to our programs.
This blog provides updates about all of our programs and others in the region. If you’re interested in anything energy or climate-related, this blog is for you!
