Nashua Commits To Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions

By Amy Quinton on Wednesday, May 30, 2007.

This spring, more than 100 cities and towns across the state voted in favor of a resolution that calls for a national program to reduce greenhouse gases.

Keene, Nashua, and more recently Portsmouth and Epping have taken a more active role --by signing onto the Cities for Climate Protection Campaign.

The goal is not only to reduce greenhouse gas emissions but plan for climate change.

In the first of two stories, New Hampshire Public Radio’s Amy Quinton looks at what joining the campaign means for a city like Nashua.
