electric heat pump

Published: April 08, 2022 | Updated: August 16, 2023

Electric heat pumps draw in heat from the air, or from the ground, around your home and uses that air to warm your home.

Electric pumps also cool a home by pulling the warm air out rather than using energy to cool air from the outside.

By transferring heat rather than creating it, heat pumps are much more efficient than conventional heaters. Using a heat pump can cut the energy for heating water or our homes by a factor of 3 or 4, greatly reducing both energy bills and our carbon footprint.

Nature is the original artist. Everything else is a response.

That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.

Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot, 1994

From 3.7 billion miles away, Earth is a pale blue dot.

Up close...

it's a tide,

a forest floor,

a field of spring flowers.

Earth Week Photo Journal
One week.
One white frame.
One collective exhale.

This upcoming Earth Week, Project White Frame is seeking artists, land stewards, and community members to document and celebrate what they love in their everyday Nature. The ask is simple: find a part of Nature you love — or something designed to protect it — and surround it with a white frame.

Somewhere along the way, Earth Day became a marketing tagline. A hashtag. A limited-edition product drop. This event is a small act of reclamation, designed to remember the why...

Nature is the art.
The white frame is a mark of unity and solidarity.
A border that says: this matters. Look here.
Remember this...
How to Participate
Find: a part of Nature you love or something designed to protect it.
Frame: surround it with a white frame. Get creative, a frame is anything that supports the subject.
