New Hampshire Needs "Cool Cities" The 2007 Building Environmental Communities campaign in New Hampshire will focus on building a smart energy future, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, with a focus on local solutions. Working with the Sierra Club's Cool Cities program we plan to engage municipalities across New Hampshire to sign on to the Mayors Climate Change Agreement, initiated by the mayor of Seattle Washington, and endorsed by the U.S. Conference of Mayors. The agreement sets a goal for municipalities to work toward reducing global warming emissions to 7 percent below their 1990 levels, by 2012. So far the cities of Keene, Manchester, Hanover, Dover, Portsmouth, and Nashua have signed on to the Cool Cities program. We are also currently working on implementing this program in Concord, Franklin, and Rochester. We also hope to use the participation of many New Hampshire municipalities as an example of New Hampshire citizen's concern about these issues when communicating with state and national decision makers and elected officials.
