Citizens' Climate Lobby - New Hampshire chapter

The Carbon Fee and Dividend solution will reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels by 50% in 20 years, create millions of new jobs, protect household purchasing power, and increase real income for New Englanders.
We've got a solution to fight climate change, now we need your help to enable Congress to act!
Citizens Climate Lobby (CCL) is a national, grassroots, nonpartisan organization working to address climate change from fossil fuel use in the US and around the world. CCL volunteers are citizens speaking up for their right to a livable world by working to create the political will to enable Congress to pass federal legislation of a beneficial, fair, efficient, bipartisan solution.
The Carbon Fee and Dividend policy is a revenue-neutral, market-based solution to dramatically reduce fossil fuel emissions while protecting household purchasing power, helping low-income families, and boosting the economy (see the REMI report for details). This solution does not raise taxes, so every member of Congress can support it. It does not grow government, so every citizen can support it. It creates and protects US jobs, improves accountability, and strongly motivates the rest of the world to follow our lead.
Congress has introduced our bipartisan bill! Learn about it and support it here: cclusa.org/energy-innovation-act/.
If you want to help make a difference, tell Congress you want climate action now! Learn more about what CCL volunteers do. If you want to get involved, join US, and CCL will connect you with startup training and your local CCL chapter, and become a part of creating the political will for climate action!
Who We Are We are students, professionals, parents, retirees and others volunteering with Citizens Climate Lobby in the southern I-93 and Rt-3 corridors of New Hampshire. New Hampshire residents have a lot to gain from a stable climate, including a stable water supply and coastline, livable summers, good ski seasons, a healthy maple syrup industry, and brilliant fall foliage. We also have a lot to gain from switching our energy source from fossil fuels to clean energy alternatives, including protecting property rights, reducing pollution, stabilizing energy prices, keeping more of what we spend on energy in-state, and creating local clean energy manufacturing, installation, repair, and energy efficiency jobs. Citizens Climate Lobby has over 170,000 volunteers in over 500 local chapters. The CCL NH South Central chapter is our local effort to help create political will to contribute to CCL's goal of enabling Congress to protect our climate by enacting federal Carbon Fee and Dividend legislation.

What Else Is NeededCarbon pricing is the biggest first step we can take according to the IPCC, IMF, and World Bank, but it will not be enough. Here are some policies and regulations that complement carbon pricing and will also be needed to support reducing emissions on a 1.5˚C target path - these need to be worked in parallel to our bill:
