The federal solar tax credit may be effectively gone but with MA rates being nearly double the national average and the enormous projected increases in demand due to data centers and more usage, going solar has become not just a sustainability imperative but a financial one as well - for every homeowner. An average sized system on an average home in MA will save you at least $50k over the course of 25 years. You'd be hard pressed to find those kind of returns anywhere else!

Learn why rapidly rising electricity demand in Massachusetts makes solar investment crucial for homeowners seeking long-term cost control and energy savings.

Last month our family had the opportunity to do a photo session with Alyssa LaPointe Photography , and wow! Her site selection, enthusiasm and patience with our adorable little monster was phenomenal! Alyssa made the photos fun for us and our daughter, who quickly relaxed and joined in the fun - these will 100% be on our family postcard this year!

Alyssa is a fantastic photographer, great horse mom and a friend to our family! To kick off my new spotlight series on the incredible small business owners in my circle, Alyssa is generously giving my newsletter subscribers an exclusive 10% discount on bookings made before this year ends. If you are looking for a photographer, she will definitely meet your needs; the session can even take place in 2026. Just mention you heard about it through Ask Navarro.

BTW - If you or someone you know wants to be featured in my newsletter, on my website or by word of mouth - let me know. Ask Navarro is all about connecting people with the information, help and expertise they need. The more my network grows, the more yours does too!

This week I'm taking a break from housing related topics to share something close to my heart; oysters! I don't know about you but I'm a huge oyster fan; I love to sample them from all over our lovely coastline and beyond. As a trained ecologist (yup!) and huge sustainability fan, I also love the stellar example they set for sustainable food culture.

The Massachusetts’ coastal waters are getting a second chance thanks to one of the state’s most inspiring grassroots efforts. The Mass Oyster Project is restoring reefs, improving water quality, and proving that real sustainability starts right in our own backyard. This week's blog is a quick rundown of their efforts and how you can even get involved - and one of the way is just by eating oysters at a local restaurant!

Discover how the Mass Oyster Project is revitalizing Massachusetts' coastlines through oyster restoration, community engagement, and sustainable practices.
