This month’s episode of "The Public Square" provides viewers with tangible ways to save energy. The show is hosted by Arlington School Committee member Jeff Thielman.

Jeff interviews Arlington residents Ryan Katofsky, Martin Lamonica, Glenn Koenig, and Marc Breslow to learn how they have reduced their carbon footprint and saved money.

The interviews take place in each person’s home, giving viewers a first-hand look at the improvements they’ve made. This is a chance to learn some simple, low-cost steps that every family can take to save energy and hear about ideas that require a larger investment, including installing solar energy systems.
