Guest speakers:
Dr Mary Stampone (NH State Climatologist; University of NH)
Dr Stephen Young (Geography & Sustainability, Salem State College, MA)
Moderated by:
Dr Reinmar Seidler (School for the Environment, University of Massachusetts, Boston, MA)
Our special guest speakers are experts on the climate of our region and our state. They’ve each published recent research updates on local/regional climate changes and anticipated impacts. They’ll share results of their work and explain how they found what they found. We’ll leave time for your questions & comments.
WHY: Science provides ways of seeing things that are too large, too small, too complex, too fast, too slow, too numerous, or too rare for the ‘naked eye’ to perceive. This applies especially to the climate, which (unlike the weather) can’t be evaluated or understood by everyday means. We must depend on technologies that extend our perceptions. Luckily for us, those technologies exist and have proven reliable (though not perfect). Using and refining a range of tools over time, we know ever more about what we can expect from our climate in the near and medium future.
If you’ve ever wondered:
What the science is showing about current & prospective changes to NH's (and New England's) climate,
What we can reasonably anticipate for the future, and
How we know what we know…
…then this webinar is for you.

Electricity “peaker plants” operate on the hottest and coldest days of the year, to generate electricity to meet these “peak” demands. To make this extra electricity, over 60 fossil-fuel peaker plants are in operation in New England. The peaker plants cost ratepayers money and harm our health. It doesn’t have to be like this.
Hear more about how peaker plants are used in New England and about a new “peakbusting” project to help avoid the peaks.

What happens to our bodies after death can have environmental and social benefits for those left behind in the form of land conservation and carbon sequestration, spiritual and emotional reintegration, and strengthening of community.
Natural burial is a climate strategy that everyone can plan for and act on in the here and now by creating burial spaces free from toxic materials and that protect land for new modes of public use for the future. These spaces are designed for the living, changing our relationship with death in fundamental, healing ways. We’ll take a look at what green burial is (and isn’t) and how our lives, in the end, can contribute to the well-being of others and the planet.

Told through the lens of a small town's fight for clean drinking water, They Poisoned the World is both a riveting environmental thriller and a deeply human story of grassroots activism. Blake will discuss the hidden history of these chemicals, the lives forever altered by their spread, and how ordinary citizens across the country are fighting back, with NH Bulletin environmental reporter Claire Sullivan and a group discussion to follow.
WHERE: Online and in-person. Location: Merrimack Historical Society, 10 Depot Street, Merrimack, NH 03054 Map
ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Mariah Blake is an investigative journalist whose writing has appeared in The Atlantic, Mother Jones, The New York Times, The New Republic, and other publications.

Close the Growing U.S. Carbon Price Gap
Tuesday, May 6, 2025
Tuesday, May 6, 2025
Closing the growing U.S. carbon price gap is required for economic, safety, and equity reasons. While it may seem unlikely today, events beyond our borders are changing the equation: carbon pricing is spreading, prices are rising, and CBAMS are coming. CBAMs are how countries that don’t allow free pollution will soon charge free polluting countries (like the U.S.) for the climate pollution footprint of their exports. CBAMS strongly motivate free-polluting countries to price pollution to avoid paying others in trade.
New Hampshire will benefit greatly from federal Carbon Fee and Dividend legislation. Our state legislators and community leaders can help accelerate federal action and prepare our state for it. Learn how you can help make it happen.
Speaker: John Gage, NH State Coordinator for Citizens' Climate Lobby
This special Climate Working Group event is intended to inform, inspire, and help you advocate effectively to enable our legislators to do what we need for a relatively safe climate future.
Agenda:
Establish that a rising global carbon price is required for a relatively safe future climate.
Review global carbon pricing progress. (Carbon pricing is spreading, prices are rising, and CBAMS are coming)
Review the source of headwinds in the US and NH. (Fossil fuel billionaires and libertarian extremists)
Share Carbon Fee and Dividend policy resources and ways to communicate with others
Explain the need and share ways to call for policy-focused climate action now
Share heroes, inspire heroism

How do we overcome the comfort of our throw-away society? Do we have alternatives? What will they cost us?
In Unwrap the Future III: Reuse and Zero Waste as the New Normal, we heard from several extraordinary individuals who have created the opportunities, the infrastructures, and the local and state policies to do an end-run around plastic and waste. They are also exposing the presence of toxics in plastics. They are giving new options to local restaurants. They are engaging youth. They are helping us change behavior, to say “No” to plastics and to waste.

✔ Managing NH's Unruly Utilities: The Indispensable Consumer Advocate role
Wednesday, January 22, 2025
New Hampshire is one of roughly 45 states with an officially designated advocate for the interests of utility ratepayers. However, the Legislature will soon consider a bill that would abolish the office altogether or absorb it into another state agency.
Presenter: Donald M. Kreis, New Hampshire Consumer Advocate
Moderator: Mary Beth Raven, NH Network Steering Committee
Don Kreis, who has served for nearly nine years as Consumer Advocate, will explain why an independent ratepayer advocate is more critical than ever for New Hampshire at the state, regional, and federal levels. The session will cover:
What is a consumer advocate, and how do NH ratepayers benefit from having one?
How does a consumer advocate work with the NH Public Utilities Commission (PUC)?
How does a consumer advocate work with the ISO-NE Consumer Liaison Group? (and what IS the Consumer Liaison group? And why should you care?)
Consumer Advocate Kreis will discuss his efforts to reform New Hampshire’s Public Utilities Commission and regional regulator ISO-New England and the current efforts to abolish his office.

After oil, fast fashion is the second most polluting industry on the planet, producing 4% of the world's total carbon emissions. It takes 2,000 gallons of water to make just 1 pair of jeans. 87% of materials used to make clothing are landfilled — one truckload every second. The fashion industry causes 35% of the plastic waste in the oceans, and only 1% of clothes are recycled into new garments. (Source: 47 Official Sustainable Fashion Statistics).
Moderator: Dr. Mary Elizabeth Raven, NH Network Steering Committee member and the Citizens' Climate Lobby liaison to Senator Jeanne Shaheen.
Presenter: Julia DeVoy, PhD, MTS, MBA, Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs and Students, Boston College
Dr. DeVoy will trace the current status of textile waste in the United States, its global public health impacts, and associated issues of environmental injustice.
