How can I help my town set up a greenhouse gas emissions inventory and action plan to lower emissions?
Keene, Nashua, Portsmouth, Epping, Dover, and Rochester have all done or are in the process of doing an inventory of their greenhouse gas emissions and climate action plans based – and you can follow their example! They and other communities are working on initiatives including anti-idling campaigns, green building standards, the use of biofuels and renewables, etc. We recommend taking at the Clean Air-Cool Planet Community Toolkit for more information and ideas about a few of these towns, as well as contacts there to learn more specifics. For more information about the Clean Air-Cool Planet Communities Program, contact Christa Koehler. You might also check out work resources and news about NH local energy committees through the Carbon Coalition, the new New Hampshire Community Energy Project, and the new NH Handbook on Energy Efficiency and Climate Change (PDF). And don’t forget to check out the NH Carbon Challenge for help working with households and their energy use!
