One Maine Middle School has found a way to help their communities in a very surprising and money saving way.

It is an idea that is so simplistic and perfect. They are called Hot Tubes! It is a narrow tube that hangs from the ceiling that help funnel the warm that that rises to the ceiling back down to the ground level.  To make it even hotter, it was created and will start manufactured in Maine.

Ask farmer Peter Bragdon of Vassalboro, 'hey, what's up?' and he might just say 'yes, hay is what's up'. He just won a $300,000 Value Added Producer Grant that will help him manufacture a 'hay log' that can be used as fuel in fireplaces or wood stoves, according to the office of U.S. Representative Chellie Pingree.
