NH Carbon Challenge
What is the NH Carbon Challenge?
The New Hampshire Carbon Challenge works to educate, inspire and support sustained reductions in residential energy consumption. Roughly half of all climate-warming greenhouse gas emissions come from households through their energy consumption for motor vehicles, home heating, and electricity usage. Fortunately, there are many simple actions we can take in our homes to reduce our energy consumption and these actions will also save us money.
What else does your library do for you?
We all know the library is great for grabbing this season’s must-read or renting videos for the kids. But what happens when you’re confronted with a health crisis and you need to figure out what to do next? Would you think to turn to the library for support-whether it’s the latest medical research, an empathetic story or the comforting words of a favorite author? In partnership with the American Library Association, Women’s Day asked readers to tell us how the library improved their health. Here’s what a few of them had to say.
